| 1.4L 4-cyl, S6 automatic, FWD | REGULAR | 30 | $2,100 |
| 1.4L 4-cyl, 6-spd manual, FWD | REGULAR | 30 | $2,100 |
| 1.8L 4-cyl, 6-spd manual, FWD | REGULAR | 29 | $2,150 |

The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
