The Wetl 300 SL is a small 1992 gasoline car with rear-wheel drive and a six-cylinder engine. Its 15 MPG combined rating is the central ownership fact, and EPA's $5,500 annual fuel estimate makes that concrete. City and highway economy are close, at 15 and 16 MPG. If you want this drivetrain and body class, accept the fuel budget and emissions figure as part of the package.

The figure to watch is 15 MPG combined. EPA city economy is also 15 MPG, while highway economy reaches 16 MPG.
That small city-highway gap means the rating changes little with where you drive.

How it compares
Within its own EPA figures, the Wetl 300 SL records 15 MPG in the city, 16 MPG on the highway, and 15 MPG combined. Those numbers give you the basis for comparing it with other minicompact cars using the same measures.
Who it suits
This car suits a buyer considering a compact rear-wheel-drive car with a gasoline six-cylinder and automatic transmission, and who can budget for its stated annual fuel cost.
Trade-offs
The compact body and rear-wheel-drive layout come with 15 MPG combined economy. Highway use improves the rating by only 1 MPG over city driving.
Its 2.9-liter six-cylinder and four-speed automatic define the powertrain, while the EPA fuel figures point to substantial yearly gasoline spending.
Verdict
Choose the Wetl 300 SL only if its 1992 minicompact format, rear-drive setup, and six-cylinder automatic match what you want. The key ownership number is $5,500 in EPA annual fuel cost, based on 15 MPG combined. City and highway estimates are nearly identical, so changing your driving mix is unlikely to transform fuel use. Its emissions figure is 592.47 grams per mile, another clear sign that running costs should be part of the decision.
