What are the DBS's real world fuel economy numbers?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera's real-world fuel economy numbers are quite thirsty, as you'd expect from a twin-turbo V12 powerhouse. Here's what the data shows:

**EPA Official Ratings:**
- City: 14 mpg
- Highway: 22 mpg  
- Combined: 17 mpg

**Real-World Experience:**
Based on owner reports and independent testing, you're looking at about **13.1 mpg** in real-world driving conditions (17.9 L/100km). This makes sense - with 715 horsepower on tap, most owners find it hard to resist exploring that performance potential!

**European WLTP Cycle:**
- 22.9 mpg imperial (about 19.1 mpg US)

So realistically, expect around **12-14 mpg** in mixed driving, dropping into the single digits if you're really enjoying that magnificent V12. It's definitely a "fuel economy be damned" kind of car - but what a glorious way to burn through fuel!

Would you like me to help you find some more fuel-efficient alternatives, or are you committed to the V12 life?
