What it is

The Wetl 300 E is a 1992 compact car from Wallace Environmental. It uses gasoline, rear-wheel drive, and a 2.9-liter six-cylinder engine with a four-speed automatic transmission.

It is part of the Wallace Environmental cars lineup.

The numbers

The defining figure is 15 MPG combined. City driving is also rated at 15 MPG, while highway driving reaches 16 MPG.

That narrow city-highway spread means the rating changes little with the type of trip. Tailpipe CO2 is 592.47 grams per mile.

What it costs to run

EPA annual fuel cost is $5,500.

Your actual bill will depend on how many miles you drive and the gasoline price you pay, but the low combined MPG makes fuel a major running expense.

How it compares

Within its own EPA ratings, highway economy is only 1 MPG higher than city economy: 16 versus 15. The combined figure remains 15 MPG.

No other vehicle figures are provided here, so a model-to-model ranking would not be supported.

Who it suits

This car suits someone who specifically wants a compact, rear-wheel-drive gasoline car and accepts high fuel use.

It may fit drivers whose priority is this drivetrain and body type rather than minimizing yearly fuel spending.

Trade-offs

The six-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive, and automatic transmission define the powertrain, but the EPA numbers show a costly fuel pattern: 15 MPG combined and $5,500 in annual fuel cost.

Highway economy improves only slightly over the city figure. The car also carries a tailpipe CO2 figure of 592.47 grams per mile.

Verdict

Choose the Wetl 300 E for its specific compact-car layout, six-cylinder gasoline engine, rear-wheel drive, and four-speed automatic. Do so with clear expectations about fuel use: 15 MPG combined is the central ownership number, and the listed annual fuel cost is $5,500. Its 16-MPG highway rating does not create a large efficiency advantage over city driving. For buyers focused on lower fuel bills or emissions, these figures are a serious drawback.
