The EPA numbers

The Giulia returns 20 MPG combined. The EPA city figure is 17 MPG, and the highway figure is 25 MPG. Those ratings describe separate driving patterns, so your result depends on how much time you spend in each.

What it costs to run

EPA estimates $4,100 in annual fuel cost for this gasoline car. Its tailpipe output is 436 grams of CO2 per mile.

How the figures fit together

The 25 MPG highway rating is higher than the 17 MPG city rating. A driving routine with more highway miles aligns more closely with the highway figure, while stop-and-go city travel aligns with the lower city figure.

Who it suits

This Giulia suits a buyer who wants a gasoline midsize car with rear-wheel drive and is comfortable budgeting around $4,100 a year for fuel under the EPA estimate.

Trade-offs

The turbocharged 2.9 L six-cylinder and rear-wheel-drive layout come with a 20 MPG combined rating. City use is rated at 17 MPG, while highway use reaches 25 MPG, so driving mix matters.

Verdict

Choose the 2024 Giulia if its rear-wheel-drive layout and six-cylinder turbo powertrain match what you want from a midsize car. Plan around the EPA’s $4,100 yearly fuel estimate rather than expecting economy-focused running costs. The 17 city and 25 highway ratings leave a meaningful gap between urban and open-road use. This is a fit for drivers who accept that fuel budget in exchange for this specific drivetrain and transmission combination.
