26 mpg city, 31 highway (1.6-liter models); 24/30 (1.8-liter models)
U.S. EPA

Although the Soul is just as fuel-efficient as most compact cars in the city, its highway fuel economy numbers aren't as impressive. Soul models with the 1.6-liter engine—whether they have the manual or automatic transmission—are rated at 26 mpg city, 31 highway. With the 2.0-liter engine, Soul models get 24/30.
