Ford Fusion Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2015 4dr Sedan 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 Hybrid

42.3 mpg since new. 85% highway, 10% suburban, 5% city. A/C always on, careful but not "multimiler" driving. see full Ford Fusion review
2013 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I have close to 3000 miles on this car and the last 2 gas fill ups have been 22.6 mpg which is slightly higher then the EPA city rating. Being that it is still winter & all my driving so far has been city driving I am very satisfied with the gas mileage. see full Ford Fusion review
2012 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I generaly get 23-24 miles per gallon in town and 29-34 miles per gallon on the interstate. That beats all other cars I have owned..probably more that 20. see full Ford Fusion review

The Fusion Hybrid when driven as outlined in the owner’s manual rewards you with the best in class fuel economy which is far above the advertized mileage for the car. The car has great power which is on par with the V6 version of the same car. I now have see full Ford Fusion review

I average a respectable 23+ miles per gallon in the city. 30+ on the highway. see full Ford Fusion review

Originally thought it was great on fuel, after owning it is still respectable but not as good as I thought it would be. I end up doing more city driving than highway though. see full Ford Fusion review
Ford Fusion Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2013 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
18.5mpg, vs 22mpg rated city driving. Not disatisfied. Really like the car, so don't care. see full Ford Fusion review
2011 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
My primary complaint with the vehicle as a whole definitely comes down to fuel economy. I've owned several other vehicles that should generally be less economical that actually are almost the same. My primary example is one of my previous cars, a supercharged 1996 Buick Park Avenue. Overall average fuel economy with that Buick was about 20, with 70% city driving. Overall fuel economy with my V6 3.0 Fusion is...about 20 with the same driving conditions. Its to be noted that car's posted fuel economy figures for highway driving aren't really attainable. 240 HP in a midsize car isn't bad...but I sometimes wish I'd gotten the 4 cylinder. see full Ford Fusion review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Lexus RX

Lexus RX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2013 The new transmission doesn't affect EPA city mpg, which remains a competitive if not outstanding 18. Highway mpg receives a bump from 24 to 26, putting it two to three mpg over most competitors. At a steady 75 mph, the F Sport engine is spinning 1,950 rpm, vs. 2,300 in the regular RX with a six-speed automatic. In suburban driving with the engine warmed up the trip computer typically reported 22 mpg. A very light foot bumped this by three mpg, while a heavy one sunk it by about the same. Buyers who put a high priority on fuel economy will prefer the RX 400h hybrid. It earns EPA ratings of 32 city, 28 highway, and is even a little quicker than the RX 350. Real-world suburban mpg appears to be about 29. see full Lexus RX review

We compared the 2008 RX400h (discounted) vs the 2009 Nissan Murano. The gas savings by going with the Hybrid exceeded the difference between the two vehicles. see full Lexus RX review

I researched this a fair bit. I did not want an SUV but the space offered, reliability, and fuel economy sold me. I regularly get 26-27 MPG city/hwy combined, way better then any other SUV (Highlander excepted) see full Lexus RX review
