2007 4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6

2006 4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6
CVT FWD		 Superior to anything in its class for freeway MPG. Only turns over 1900 RPM @ 70 mph, 27+ MPG depending on conditions. Mixed fuel economy is not bad either, my wife drives 50/50 city/highway and we average just over 21 mpg. Very satisfied with MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review
2006 4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6
CVT FWD		 I can drive my freestyle fully loaded from Florida to North Carolina and get 26 MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review
2005 4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6

2006 4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6
CVT FWD		 with a 3.0 V6, 2WD gas mileage could be much better than 19, to 23 MPG, it was in the 2000 Olds Sil, which was longer and had alarger motor in it. see full Ford Freestyle review

2010 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The gas mileage is great for a 7 passenger SUV. On the highway at 60 mph you can see 25-28 mpg. City wise we see 18-19. see full Dodge Journey review
2009 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Averaged about 24-26 MPG in the 10 days that we rented it. see full Dodge Journey review

Dodge Journey Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2016 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 16 /24 in the AWD V6, 19 overall per the EPA. The city number is quite poor, though the highway number is competitive. We don't put all that many miles on our cars so it was something that we could more easily overlook, but if you've got a fairly long commute that isn't mostly on the highway, this might be a deal breaker. see full Dodge Journey review
2012 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The biggest disappointment for the car is the lower fuel economy. On the highway, it gets right around 30, but in town driving suddenly drops to under 20. That's a big difference, and since it is primarily used around town (less than 15% highway) we're paying a bit more in fuel costs. see full Dodge Journey review
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 so far I have been getting about 17 mpg in the city. see full Dodge Journey review
