Honda CR-Z Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	2dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 6-speed manual FWD	I have averaged about 40 MPG for the 3500 miles I have driven. I feel this is very good since most of my driving has lots of hills, stops, turns, and the speed limit on our interstate highways is 70 MPH. see full Honda CR-Z review
2011	2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 6-speed manual FWD	In real life, potential to be much better than official ratings. My 6 speed manual current average in all winter driving (have not driven during the summer yet) stands at 43 mpg (us). see full Honda CR-Z review
2011	2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 6-speed manual FWD	Great on gas see full Honda CR-Z review
2011	2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 6-speed manual FWD	MPG is quite variable. I've seen 28 in short city driving up to 48 when hypermiling on the highway. see full Honda CR-Z review

Mercedes-Benz GL Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	In the EPA's fuel economy tests the Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTEC rates 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. We observed low 20s in casual suburban driving (a few mpg lower with a heavy foot, a few mpg higher with a very light one) and 25.5 on our trip to Chicago and back (which included some heavy urban driving and 70-mph highways). These numbers don't seem so great, given that the GL350 burns diesel? Consider that the GL-Class is not only wide and tall but also very heavy, at nearly 5,500 pounds unloaded. The gas-powered GL450 is rated 14/19. Our family vehicle, a Ford Taurus X that weighs over 1,000 pounds less than the Mercedes, struggles to crack 22 on the highway. The Audi Q7 rates the same in city driving, and a couple mpg better on the highway. Since the GL350 is almost in another class size-wise, I'm calling this one a draw. Multiply this fuel economy by a 26.4-gallon tank, and the GL350 can go quite far between $100+ fill-ups. Is it really possible to drive the nearly 300 miles to Chicago--and then back--on one tank? Yes it is, with nearly a quarter-tank to spare. (Is it possible to do this without any of three kids needing to stop for a bathroom break? To our even greater surprise, yes to this as well. They were busy watching the $1,950 dual-screen entertainment system.) see full Mercedes-Benz GL review
