Abarth 595 fuel economy questions

What is the real-world MPG of a Abarth 595?

Owners report an average of 38.4 mpg across all Abarth 595 engines with data, about 87% of the official combined figure. The engine tables on this page give the figure for each engine and generation.

Why is the Abarth 595 real MPG lower than the official figure?

Official figures come from a laboratory test cycle, not the road. Cold starts, short trips, hills, load, tyres and driving style all cost fuel the test does not see. A gap of 10 to 30 per cent is normal; a much bigger gap on one engine usually points at a fault, a heavy right foot, or a diesel that never gets warm.

Where did the Honest John Abarth 595 Real MPG page go?

The site closed in August 2026 and its Real MPG section went with it. This page is where the Abarth 595 figures now live: rebuilt from the archived dataset, with the official figures kept alongside, and reopened for new submissions.
