Fuel economy at a glance
These are the EPA's official ratings for the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed. The numbers come from a standardised laboratory test cycle and are the same figures that appear on the window sticker of every new car. Real-world mileage varies with driving style, weather, fuel quality, and how heavily loaded the car is.
Combined MPG is a 55/45 weighted blend of the city and highway test cycles. The EPA uses it as the single number you can compare across the entire dataset, including hybrids and EVs (which use the equivalent MPGe figure).
| Combined MPG | 19 MPG |
| City MPG | 17 MPG |
| Highway MPG | 22 MPG |
| Annual fuel cost | $3,650 |
| Tailpipe CO₂ | 161 g/mi |
| Fuel type | Premium and Electricity |
How the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed compares
The 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed returns 19 combined MPG. Cars in the Minicompact Cars class for the same model year average 26 MPG, which puts this car behind the class average by about 27%.
The most efficient car in the Minicompact Cars class for the 2025 model year is the Fiat 500e at 116 MPG. The bar chart below puts the Bentley Continental GTC Speed alongside the class best and the class average so you can see the full picture.
For broader context, the average new car of the 2025 model year (across all classes) returns 44.3 MPG. Larger vehicles pull the all-cars average down, so do not use that figure on its own to judge a small car or a hybrid. The full list of the most efficient cars of the 2025 model year is on its own page.
Annual fuel cost across driving patterns
The headline annual fuel cost the EPA publishes assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year and a fuel mix of 55% city and 45% highway. The dollar figure is calculated using the EPA's current reference price for premium gasoline, which is $4.61/gallon. EPA updates that reference periodically rather than tracking live pump prices, so treat it as a window-sticker estimate rather than today's pump number.
The table below scales the EPA's number to three common driving patterns. The combined MPG and the reference fuel price stay constant, only the annual mileage changes. To get a current-prices estimate, take your local gas price and multiply by 789.5 gallons (the car's annual consumption at the rated MPG).
| Driving pattern | Estimated annual fuel cost |
|---|---|
| Light driver, 7,500 miles per year | $1,825 |
| Average driver, 15,000 miles per year | $3,650 |
| Heavy driver, 25,000 miles per year | $6,083 |

Specifications
The 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed runs a 4-liter 8-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with a automatic (am-s8), sending power through all-wheel drive.
Engine, transmission, and drivetrain together drive most of the variation in fuel economy across trims. A larger engine moves the car with less effort but burns more fuel. A turbo lets a small engine punch above its weight, often without much MPG penalty. All-wheel drive adds traction and weight, and usually costs a couple of MPG compared with two-wheel drive of the same engine.

-
Is the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed fuel efficient?
Not particularly. The 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed returns 19 combined MPG, which trails the average car in the Minicompact Cars class for the same model year by about 27%. -
What MPG does the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed get?
The EPA rates the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed at 19 combined MPG, 17 MPG in city driving, and 22 MPG on the highway. Real-world numbers depend on your driving style, the weather, and how loaded the car is. -
How much does it cost to fuel a 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed per year?
The EPA estimates an annual fuel cost of $3,650 for the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed. That figure assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year, a 55% city and 45% highway split, and the EPA's published average fuel price for the rated fuel grade. -
Does the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed require premium gas?
Yes. The EPA lists the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed as requiring premium gasoline. Running it on regular can reduce performance and may affect engine warranties, so it is not a recommended way to save at the pump. -
How much CO₂ does the 2025 Bentley Continental GTC Speed emit?
