There are so many factors and fuel mileage is just one.
6 years ago I sold my na Miata and F 150 and was looking for something, but was open for almost anything. My guy had Volvo S60 (I think) and a Mercedes C280 awd. I thought the Merc was interesting, it drove well and the seats suited me better than the Volvo.
I was surprised to find the Mercedes matched the Miata on mileage on trips. Both cars gave about 30mpg. However the Merc needed premium.
After about 5 years and 36,000 km, I got tired of it and got the '16 Jetta (old man's car). Surprisingly the car is just as comfortable and probably because it's a 1.8 turbo (same drive train as the wife's Golf Sportwagon) and isn't hauling as much weight, gets far better milage (35mpg getting along briskly) on regular gas. Good thing too, as I have put on more than 40,000km in 19 months.
