TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Buick Encore

Buick Encore Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	With front-wheel-drive, the Encore earns EPA ratings of 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. Add all-wheel-drive (as on the tested car) and these figures drop to 23/30. Given the Encore's small size and marginal power output, better might be expected. The BMW X1, with another 102 horsepower, somehow manages 22/33 on the EPA test cycle. But the BMW's ratings seem a bit iffy. I had a much easier time meeting and exceeding the Buick's EPA ratings. At a steady 70 on the highway I averaged over 31. In suburban driving the trip computer regularly reported averages in the low 30s, even 35. To average over 30, though, you can't have too many stops or too heavy a foot. Put the pedal down hard, and the small four-cylinder engine's turbo will enable it to gulp air--and fuel--like a much larger one. Drive with little care for fuel economy, and 25 will happen. Which is still better than the EPA rating. The Tucson is among the oldest designs in Hyundai's line, and doesn't have the firm's latest engine technology. Consequently, its EPA ratings are a dismal (for a compact, 176-horsepower vehicle) 20/27. The current compact crossover champ, the Mazda CX-5, manages just a little better than the Encore, 24/30. see full Buick Encore review

2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The almost 40 mpg on the highway makes the Buick Encore the most efficient, real world, all wheel drive gasoline sedan or CUV available. The engine torque from the turbo makes output low in the operating range on low 87 octane. see full Buick Encore review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Rogue

Nissan Rogue Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Though more fuel-efficient than heavier, truck-based SUVs, crossovers have remained much less fuel-efficient than lower, lighter, more aerodynamic cars. Especially if they are equipped with all-wheel-drive (AWD), which adds weight and drivetrain friction. Still, their efficiency has been improving. With EPA ratings of 25 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, the all-wheel-drive 2014 Nissan Rogue is the most fuel efficient compact crossover. (Add one mpg for the front-wheel-drive Rogue.) The new Subaru Forester comes close, with 24/32, followed by the Mazda CX-5 (24/30) and Mitsubishi Outlander (24/29). The Ford Escape (22/30), Honda CR-V (22/30) and Toyota RAV4 (22/29) lag behind the others. In the real world, the Rogue had no trouble beating the EPA estimates. In suburban driving the trip computer typically reported averages between 27 and 31. On one 65-mph highway run downtown, the trip computer reported 40.6 on the way there, then 27.9 on the return. Wind? That, and perhaps my foot wasn't as light. Though the latter figure is much less impressive, the two-way average of 34 is quite good for an all-wheel-drive crossover, especially with the outside temperature just above freezing. I tested the Subaru Forester in colder weather with a lot of snow on the roads, so unfortunately I cannot provide comparable real-world figures for it. The averages I did observe plus the EPA estimates suggest it should be not quite as efficient, but close enough that I'm calling this one a tie. Unless you don't need all-wheel-drive. Then the Rogue has an edge. Notably, both vehicles have continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). see full Nissan Rogue review

2014	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	I drive in an area of constant small hills and was 'forced' into AWD: milage by trip computer is only 27 after 30000 miles, but this is probably pretty good for the terrain and vehicle size. see full Nissan Rogue review
2013	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	My other vehicle is a V6. Good on gas is a plus. see full Nissan Rogue review
2012	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	Good fuel economy, with an average of 24 mpg with mixed driving. see full Nissan Rogue review

2010	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	Had the Rogue for a 6 hour test drive. Highway mileage was 8.1litres/100km on the highway at 120K and in town was 9.3. I feel this is very good for this size of a vehicle with this much room and comfort. see full Nissan Rogue review

2010	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD	Disappointed! I get around 22 total if I'm lucky. Even in highway driving, I never get near the EPA upper end. I do run the A/C almost all the time, since I live in South Florida, but compared to other vehicles I have, it still is pretty bad. see full Nissan Rogue review
2009	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	Hey - an AWD SUV that gets around 24 mpg? Sweet. see full Nissan Rogue review
