16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway with the 3.0-liter and manual transmission; 18/27 with either engine and the six-speed automatic.
U.S. EPA

With EPA city ratings that start at 16 mpg and highway ratings that are at best 27 mpg, the 2011 Cadillac CTS is a little disappointing with respect to fuel economy. In real-world driving, The Car Connection hasn't observed any better, either; we saw less than 17 mpg in combined driving. Altogether, that's a bit lower than you'd see from other models in this class—including some higher-performance sport sedans.
