Pontiac Grand Prix Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great V8 exhaust note and instant acceleration comes at the cost of about 19 mpg in combined driving, versus 25 with my new car. That is a 30% increase. (the new car is 600 pounds lighter though...) see full Pontiac Grand Prix review
2005	4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	17-19 mpg in the city. 25 If I drive on the intersate. 30 is possible at 60mph. Most of my driving is in the city. The beautiful v8 makes it impossible to stay out of the gas, but it can run on REG fuel. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review

2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD	30+ on the highway makes this a real touring car. City mileage plummets but typically get 27+ combined. The Turbo gives it lots of acceleration when needed and frugal when you leave the turbo alone. see full Volvo V50 review

Volvo V50 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Really not that great but part of that is I LOVE to kick in the turbo when getting on the interstate or pulling out from a stop sign. see full Volvo V50 review
2006	4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Keeping those five cyclinders fed burns fuel. On the highway, that's not a problem, but in stop and go traffic, MPG numbers go down and down. see full Volvo V50 review
