How much does it cost to maintain a Fiat Cronos 1.3 Drive 2026?
Consumption directly influences the annual cost
Among all expenses, refueling represents one of the most important portions for those who use the car daily.

With ethanol
- City: 8.9 km/l;
- Highway: 10.7 km/l.
With gasoline
- City: 12.8 km/l;
- Highway: 14.6 km/l.
Considering an annual usage of 15,000 kilometers — with 10,500 km in urban routes and 4,500 km on highways — and the national average fuel prices disclosed by ANP, of R$ 4.69 for ethanol and R$ 6.62 for gasoline, in June 2026, the estimated cost is:
- Gasoline: R$ 7,470.90;
