What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Mazda Tribute MPG
| Mazda Tribute Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
for its 4 wheel drive and capacity, it is good |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
For a SUV with a 4-speed automatic, this thing does great on fuel. City mileage ranges from 17-19 and highway ranges from 21-25. Most midsize sedans do not do much better, especially in V6 form. |
| Mazda Tribute Fuel Economy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Get 17-19 mpg around town. Had hoped for 20mpg, but no big deal. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Only 4-speed automatic transmission thus about 18 miles per gallon |
