1994 DodgeShadow

Overview

The 1994 Dodge Shadow is a gasoline-powered compact car with front-wheel drive and a 2.2 L four-cylinder engine. Its listed base model pairs that engine with a three-speed automatic transmission. The EPA rates it at 21 MPG in city driving and 27 MPG on the highway, for 23 MPG combined.

Those figures give buyers a straightforward way to compare the Shadow’s official fuel economy across driving conditions. The EPA lists annual fuel cost at $2,900 and tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions at 386.39 g per mile. Both figures help describe the costs and emissions associated with its gasoline use; actual expenses depend on a driver’s circumstances.

Pricing

For buyers assessing running costs, the 23 MPG combined rating is the useful summary figure, while the 21 MPG city and 27 MPG highway ratings show how the official estimate varies by driving setting. The listed tailpipe CO2 value is 386.39 g per mile.

Who it's for

The Shadow may merit consideration by shoppers comparing older compact cars who want a listed gasoline, front-wheel-drive model with an automatic transmission. Its fuel economy figures and annual EPA fuel-cost estimate make it possible to assess those specific running-cost measures alongside other vehicles’ official ratings.

The specifications provided do not establish the car’s condition, maintenance needs, equipment, safety features, or present-day ownership costs. Those factors cannot be inferred from its model-year fuel economy data.

Verdict

The 1994 Dodge Shadow’s listed profile is specific: a compact gasoline car with front-wheel drive, a 2.2 L four-cylinder engine, and a three-speed automatic transmission. Its official ratings are 21 MPG city, 27 MPG highway, and 23 MPG combined, with annual fuel cost estimated at $2,900 and tailpipe CO2 at 386.39 g per mile. These figures support a focused comparison of fuel use and emissions, but do not answer broader questions about purchase value or the condition of an individual car.
