Fuel Economy Overview

The 2004 Lamborghini L-140/141 Gallardo achieves an EPA-estimated 10 MPG in combined city and highway driving, with 8 MPG in the city and 14 MPG on the highway. Powered by a 5L 10-cylinder engine paired with a manual 6-spd, this two seaters features 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive drive.

In terms of environmental impact, the 2004 L-140/141 Gallardo produces approximately 889 grams of CO2 per mile. This figure is measured under standardized EPA test conditions and represents tailpipe emissions only. For context, the average new vehicle sold in the United States produces approximately 400 grams of CO2 per mile, meaning this L-140/141 Gallardo has higher-than-average emissions in this regard.

The estimated annual fuel cost for this vehicle is $6,900, based on 15,000 miles of driving per year and current national average fuel prices. Compared to the average new vehicle, you would save $23,750 over a 5-year period.
