What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	99 Dodge Durango with 5.9 V8 got better fuel economy with same driving habits. Expected better with smaller V8 and 6 speed trans. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2008	4dr SUT 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Terrible. I've owned fullsize pickups and SUV so I know what to expect. I've never seen the average mpg display read over 15mpg for the six months I've owned it. The main reason I bought this was the combination AWD and 4WD transfer case, but it doesn't have a 2 wheel drive position like my Sierra did. Boy do I miss that, I averaged 20 mpg per tank. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2007	4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	highway mileage is very good, better than my lighter V6 Ranger; 21mpg on the highway @ 75mph on flat road. City, with the remote start in winter, with the AWD kicking in, and lead foot acceleration nets me 13mpg. A light foot can get 15mpg city see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2002	4dr SUT 203-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	I think we all wish for 30 mpd-thats unrealistic when you have 10000+ lbs on the road when towing. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review

Pontiac G6 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 164-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I opted to get the 4 cylinder 6 speed automatic because of the higher EPA rating and I have a fairly long commute to and from work. see full Pontiac G6 review
2007	4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Getting 25 city miles see full Pontiac G6 review
2007	2dr Coupe 224-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Amazingly it gets 30+ on the highway. I usually drive in stop-and-go traffic but still get 20 mpg easily. see full Pontiac G6 review
2006	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Even with a 6 cylinder, and my overzealous driving, I regularly got 28-29 MPG. This is a mix of highway and city driving in a very hilly area. see full Pontiac G6 review

Pontiac G6 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 219-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	The V6 I drove had MPG ratings slightly worse than the 4-cyl models I was looking at. see full Pontiac G6 review
2007	2dr Hardtop conv. 217-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Not good enough. see full Pontiac G6 review
