Topic: compact or mid size fuel economy difference

[hammerlock]

I have a fuel economy question, I’ve been debating on the size of car I should buy. I was thinking of a Honda Accord, Mazda 6 or Nissan Altima, and was wondering how more fuel they use in the real world compared to a Civic, and hyundai Elantra or a Mazda 3.  I know the 2.5 mazda 3 uses more fuel than a civic but how more? Driving would around 50-50 city highway maybe leaning more to city driving.

Thanks
