How this compares
At 27 MPG combined, the 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia ranks 10th of 23 midsize cars EPA rated for 2019 — exactly the 27 MPG median for that group.
That places it squarely mid-pack for its class. Fuel cost is close enough to its rivals that other running costs will probably matter more.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $2,800, $250 more than the $2,550 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $14,000, a $1,250 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 330 grams per mile — about 5 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
