Fuel economy at a glance
These are the EPA's official ratings for the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD. 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 | 15 MPG |
| City MPG | 13 MPG |
| Highway MPG | 18 MPG |
| Annual fuel cost | $4,600 |
| Tailpipe CO₂ | 596 g/mi |
| Fuel type | Premium |
How the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD compares
The 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD returns 15 combined MPG. Cars in the Two Seaters class for the same model year average 17.8 MPG, which puts this car behind the class average by about 16%.
The most efficient car in the Two Seaters class for the 2022 model year is the Mazda MX-5 at 29 MPG. The bar chart below puts the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD alongside the class best and the class average so you can see the full picture.
For broader context, the average new car of the 2022 model year (across all classes) returns 30.7 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 2022 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 1000 gallons (the car's annual consumption at the rated MPG).
| Driving pattern | Estimated annual fuel cost |
|---|---|
| Light driver, 7,500 miles per year | $2,300 |
| Average driver, 15,000 miles per year | $4,600 |
| Heavy driver, 25,000 miles per year | $7,667 |

Specifications
The 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD runs a 5.2-liter 10-cylinder engine paired with a automatic (am-s7), 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.

Common questions about the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD
Quick answers to the questions people most often search for when looking up the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD.
-
Is the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD fuel efficient?
Not particularly. The 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD returns 15 combined MPG, which trails the average car in the Two Seaters class for the same model year by about 16%. -
What MPG does the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD get?
The EPA rates the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD at 15 combined MPG, 13 MPG in city driving, and 18 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 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD per year?
The EPA estimates an annual fuel cost of $4,600 for the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD. 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 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD require premium gas?
Yes. The EPA lists the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD 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 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD emit?
Tailpipe CO₂ emissions are 596 g/mi. Multiplied across a typical year of driving (15,000 miles) that works out to about 8,940 kilograms of CO₂. -
What is the difference between the city and highway MPG of the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD?
City driving returns 13 MPG and highway driving returns 18 MPG, a gap of 5 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 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD?
The 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD has a 5.2-liter 10-cylinder engine (EPA description: SIDI & PFI). -
What transmission and drivetrain does the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD have?
The 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD comes with a automatic (am-s7) transmission and rear-wheel drive. -
How does the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD compare to the best car in its class?
The most efficient car in the Two Seaters class for the 2022 model year is the Mazda MX-5 at 29 combined MPG. The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD returns 15 MPG, a gap of 14 MPG. If you are comparing on fuel economy alone, the class leader is worth a look. -
Does the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD qualify for the gas guzzler tax?
Yes. The federal Gas Guzzler Tax applies to passenger cars rated below 22.5 combined MPG, and the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder RWD 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.
