2007	4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD	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

Mini Clubman Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	EPA ratings for the two cars are nearly identical. When fitted with manual transmissions, the Mini is rated 25/34, the Volkswagen 25/35. With automatics, each does the same in the city and one mpg lower on the highway. I tended to see slightly higher trip computer averages in the Mini, but I never observed the 40 I managed on one suburban trip in the tested VW (which had an automatic transmission). Still, the Clubman (which had a manual transmission) did achieve 38 mpg on both a suburban drive to and from the library and on a highway run from the airport. Even when I drove the Clubman in a spirited fashion the trip computer average remained above 30, while the Golf SportWagen's average tended to dip below that mark when pressed. The lesser payoff from revving the Mini's engine (more about this later) could have played a role. see full Mini Clubman review

Mini Clubman Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	3dr Wagon turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Very surprised at how well the car sips gasoline. From an agressive driving style (myself) to a more passive driving style (wife) we still consistently get 34 MPG and that is traveling in a 50/50 mix city/hwy with speeds 10-15% greater than posted. see full Mini Clubman review
2008	3dr Wagon turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Fantastic fuel economy, (but remember, it's premium gas). I could really drive heavy footed and not lose out on over 32+ MPG. Filling up the tank wasn't a task I had to do very often at all, and fumes got me a long way. see full Mini Clubman review
2008	3dr Wagon 118-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	So far, the gas milage is 37.4 MPG overall. see full Mini Clubman review
