2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Better than 30 mpg on long trips, even with 75+mph average speeds as reported by the onboard computer. Fantastic given the performance available. see full Saab 9-3 review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 180hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD	4.7 litres per 100 km is a great mileage! see full Saab 9-3 review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Very good considering the power. I average 32mpg doing mostly highway. I cruise at 75mph and like to rev the engine in the city. see full Saab 9-3 review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Lots of variations on fuel economy as you can read. Driving style will make a big difference, using a lot of engine power uses gas, no way around that. Try to cruise between 1800-2300rpm, it gives good results. Cars have improved a lot in the last years, no way a 7 year old design can match a 2015 model. But It comes close! see full Saab 9-3 review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I have been a tad disappointed in my newest car's fuel economy. My tuned to 340 hp 1995 Saab 900 SE was getting 29 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. Currently I am driving 75% city and suburban surface streets and the rest highway. This must explain my rather pedestrian 23 mpg current average. I did get 33 mpg on a fast long road haul to the east coast. see full Saab 9-3 review

2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Over 30 mpg highway if you set the cruise to the speed limit. see full Saab 9-3 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	25 to 30 mpg on regular gas, depending on how many highway miles per tank. This is my first car that takes regular in more than ten years, at least $0.20 a gallon cheaper than premium. see full Saab 9-3 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Amazing fuel economy for such a powerful engine. see full Saab 9-3 review

Toyota Tacoma Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Crew Cab 6ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Just completed a 7,000 mile trip, 2 adults & lightly, fully loaded bed. Best mileage 24 mpg, lowest 22 mpg. Typical town/freeway mix has been 22-23 mpg. Flat terrain, easy driving. see full Toyota Tacoma review
2009	4dr Crew Cab 6ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Even with the V6, the fuel economy hovers around 22MPG with mixed city/highway driving. A lot cheaper to refuel than a full size. see full Toyota Tacoma review
2008	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I thought the fuel economy, for a truck, was excellent. It gets 5mpg better than a Honda Ridgeline. see full Toyota Tacoma review
2007	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 159-horsepower 2.7L I4 5-speed manual RWD	The 4 cyl specifically for a truck is great. According to my computerized Scanguage I am getting a consistent 21-25 mpg per tank with all around driving and commuting. 21 gallong tank. see full Toyota Tacoma review
2007	2dr Regular Cab 6ft bed 159-horsepower 2.7L I4 5-speed manual RWD	Fuel economy was close to the best for the class. I get around 27/mpg at highway speeds. see full Toyota Tacoma review
2006	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	At the time of purchase, it had the best gas mileage of all the small trucks I looked at. (Ford, Chevy, Mazda, GMC) see full Toyota Tacoma review
2005	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I get 21mpg in the warm months and only 18mpg in the winter. I use the 4wd a lot when roads are snowy or slippery. I had hoped for better gas mileage and find it ridiculous that there aren't better truck engines available from any of the manufacturers. A turbo-diesel four-cylinder would be much more practical in the Tacoma. see full Toyota Tacoma review

2005	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I expected better fuel economy for a small truck. But none of the trucks get good economy. The manufacturers need to get with the program on truck fuel economy. see full Toyota Tacoma review
