What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford Expedition

Ford Expedition Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Amazing fuel ecomomy for size....17.5 mpg overall, have hit over 20 mpg on 5 tanks, high is 22 mpg. 6-speed auto had 2 overdrives. see full Ford Expedition review

Ford Expedition Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	0	Seriously, what a pig. Not towing - mostly highway (over 400 miles worth) but some city driving as well - in 600 miles, we averaged 13.9 MPG. The car's computer appears reasonably accurate (as a rental, I do not know if it was really full when picked up but the second tank MPG was within 0.5 MPG of my calculation based on mileage). Yes, there were generally 6 passengers (4 adults, 2 kids) and the AC blowing (front and rear) to combate the Texas heat, but I was light with the thottle and it was quite flat. I am well aware no one will buy one of these based on gas mileage but this performance is just abysmal. Hopefully the next generation will improve. see full Ford Expedition review
2007	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	It weights 3 tons, so fuel economy is not going to be great, but 13-14mpg in town and near 20mpg on the high way is achievable. see full Ford Expedition review
2005	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	13 in the city, 18 on the road, not bad but a diesel would be better see full Ford Expedition review
2004	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 5.4L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Vehicle is expensive to operate see full Ford Expedition review
2003	4dr SUV 232-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	10.7 mpg. Need to say more? see full Ford Expedition review
2000	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 5.4L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	The 5.4 L engine gulps fuel. Usually get 14 around town and best of 18 mph on highway if easy on the throttle. Probably all that can be expected of such a heavy vehicle with high wind resistance. see full Ford Expedition review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Volkswagen Tiguan

Volkswagen Tiguan Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Swapped the paper filter for a K&N filter, kept the original air box. Get over 24mpg city, close to 30 on the freeway w/ moderate hills. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For a small crossover/suv its pretty good. Went on a 400 mile round trip to the mountains (5,500ft elevation) for the weekend and back (2,00ft elevation) and averaged 26mpg. Day to day driving I get about 25.5mpg without trying to be conservative. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD	40+ mpg constantly. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review

Volkswagen Tiguan Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Our Tiguan ranges from 20-30 mpg, between city and highway cruising. It's consistently about 5 mpg thirstier than the GTI. Blame the extra weight, but there's less than 400 lbs of that, IIRC. Or blame the AWD, but it's part-time only. I blame the large aero cross-section; it stands about a foot taller than a Golf. If VW would offer a TDI in the Tiguan, they'd sell as many as they could spare to the US market. I'd be standing in line. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Bring the tdi diesel to the US and problem solved. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Less than I had hoped for at around 25mpg average. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Its OK, but could be better. I see 21-22 suburban, as much as 28 on long highway trips. Premium fuel is the bigger drawback. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
