Fuel economy at a glance
These are the EPA's official ratings for the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50. 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 | 8 MPG |
| City MPG | 7 MPG |
| Highway MPG | 10 MPG |
| Annual fuel cost | $8,650 |
| Tailpipe CO₂ | 1,111 g/mi |
| Fuel type | Premium |
How the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 compares
The 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 returns 8 combined MPG. Cars in the Two Seaters class for the same model year average 16.6 MPG, which puts this car behind the class average by about 52%.
The most efficient car in the Two Seaters class for the 1995 model year is the Honda Civic Del Sol at 28 MPG. The bar chart below puts the Ferrari Ferrari F50 alongside the class best and the class average so you can see the full picture.
For broader context, the average new car of the 1995 model year (across all classes) returns 18.3 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 1995 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 1875 gallons (the car's annual consumption at the rated MPG).
| Driving pattern | Estimated annual fuel cost |
|---|---|
| Light driver, 7,500 miles per year | $4,325 |
| Average driver, 15,000 miles per year | $8,650 |
| Heavy driver, 25,000 miles per year | $14,417 |

Specifications
The 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 runs a 4.7-liter 12-cylinder engine paired with a manual 6-spd, sending power through rear-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 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 fuel efficient?
Not particularly. The 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 returns 8 combined MPG, which trails the average car in the Two Seaters class for the same model year by about 52%. -
What MPG does the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 get?
The EPA rates the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 at 8 combined MPG, 7 MPG in city driving, and 10 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 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 per year?
The EPA estimates an annual fuel cost of $8,650 for the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50. 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 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 require premium gas?
Yes. The EPA lists the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 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 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 emit?
Tailpipe CO₂ emissions are 1,111 g/mi. Multiplied across a typical year of driving (15,000 miles) that works out to about 16,663 kilograms of CO₂. -
What is the difference between the city and highway MPG of the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50?
City driving returns 7 MPG and highway driving returns 10 MPG, a gap of 3 MPG. The two figures are close enough that the car will hold its rated efficiency well across most driving patterns. -
What engine is in the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50?
The 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 has a 4.7-liter 12-cylinder engine (EPA description: (GUZZLER) (FFS)). -
What transmission and drivetrain does the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 have?
The 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 comes with a manual 6-spd transmission and rear-wheel drive. -
How does the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 compare to the best car in its class?
The most efficient car in the Two Seaters class for the 1995 model year is the Honda Civic Del Sol at 28 combined MPG. The Ferrari Ferrari F50 returns 8 MPG, a gap of 20 MPG. If you are comparing on fuel economy alone, the class leader is worth a look. -
Does the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 qualify for the gas guzzler tax?
Yes. The federal Gas Guzzler Tax applies to passenger cars rated below 22.5 combined MPG, and the 1995 Ferrari Ferrari F50 falls below that threshold. The tax is paid by the manufacturer at the point of sale and is built into the sticker price, so you will not see a separate line item at the dealership. Pickup trucks and SUVs are exempt from this tax even when their efficiency is lower.
