Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 For a teenager that does lots of driving for parttime job and to school, needed a vehicel that was large enough to be safe in traffic, yet give good gas mileage. see full Honda Element review
Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2011 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review
2005 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review
2004 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review
2004 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Wish it got better fuel economy, but what do you expect for a brick? see full Honda Element review
2003 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 I always get exactly 20 mpg, which seams low see full Honda Element review
2003 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review

2009 4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Low teens in town, and 24mpg tops on the highway make this a less than ideal economy car. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 256-horsepower 3.6L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The most MPGs I ever had was 25 and that was all highway driving at about 70. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Not bad mileage figures given the size of the car and the beast of an engine, but this is not a car for the hybrid set. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Is very low in stop-and-go traffic. Gets better with time, I understand. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8
6-speed manual RWD		 Average fuel economy 15 mpg in mixed driving. see full Pontiac G8 review
