2007 4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed automatic FWD
Fuel mpg: daily - 24-27; short trips (100-200 mi.) - 26-28; winter daily - 21-26 (lot of idling); and, long trips - 5000 mi in Mar. 08 was 27-32 depending on the leg. On the open country interstates the mpg eould start to drop if I exceeded 69 mph see full Ford Five Hundred review

Trip to Florida from WV 29.4 mpg. On the way back, 28.7mpg. I avg. about 24.5mpg back and forth to work, some in town driving (15%) mostly rural (85%). For an AWD and the size, this is fantastic. see full Ford Five Hundred review

Gas mileage is not too great. Essentially, it is no better than many larger trucks. Long trip highway mileage averages 19.5 mpg, but in-town driving really pulls it down. My driving is 75% highway, but just that 25% town driving pulls the mileage down to about 17. see full Dodge Dakota review

It's a v8 4x4 truck. The mpg is awful. Not that you would expect different. see full Dodge Dakota review

HORRIBLE. EPA rated for 17city 20hwy but due to transmission problem, I doubt I exceeded 20mpg on most occasions. see full Dodge Dakota review
