📊 Fuel-Economy Summary

💡 Notes & Tips

• The gasoline version is typical for a compact SUV: relatively balanced mpg for everyday driving and highway cruising. 

• The Sportage Hybrid delivers much better fuel economy, ideal if you do a lot of city or mixed driving and want to reduce fuel costs. 

If you want, I can also list trim-by-trim fuel economy or compare the Sportage’s mpg with rivals like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4!
