How this compares
At 20 MPG combined, the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia ranks 24th of 25 midsize cars EPA rated for 2017 — 5 MPG short of the 25 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,800, $1,225 more than the $2,575 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $19,000, a $6,125 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 451 grams per mile — about 6.8 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
