Doing research, visiting forums and such. I'm learning how amazing the Giulia actually is...
This car in its "a" setting of the "DNA" drive modes has a highway mileage rating of 33highway, 27 combined & 24 city.

Though down on power by 20HP against a Q50 "sport", it's .4 seconds faster to 60. Yet, the Q50 rates 20 city/29 highway, and a combined mileage of 23.

I find it VERY impressive the Giulia can go faster with less gas, achieving an extra 4 miles to the gallon. But some say they've reached as high as 36 highway, while thus far the Q has reached 30highway.

That's 6mpg in road trip miles, which can average 90 extra miles of travel from a quicker, higher performing vehicle that generally costs less at entry when comparing the competing engine options.

The Giulia definitely has the dual personality advantage of sports car and fuel sipper

Of course these are just individual experiences. But when CO.pared to the mileage ratings it just makes for a better understanding of these cars potential
