2004	4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	I get 23-26mpg around town, 28-30 highway, which I consider very very good for an AWD car. I get same fuel economy as many non AWD cars. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

2012	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 CVT AWD	The fuel economy isn't as high expected. I get about 28 mpg. I should probably stop driving like I stole it when the kids are out of the car. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2010	4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Not really dislike, I didnt expect civic like mpg. Around town mileage suffers, but on the highways the car cruises quite easily. You can expect ~25mpg on average combined (with no led food). Impressive for the hp and AWD. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2010	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Really crappy, especially for a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. 22 MPG average. 18 city, 27 highway is what I got. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

2008	4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Pathetic for a compact sedan at <28 mpg highway. The AWD system must be a huge fuel sink. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2008	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For such a small car with NA 170hp engine the economy is rather poor ~24mpg. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	For a car of that size, the fuel economy is dismal. I get about 19 in the city, which is where most of my driving is done. That is marginally better than any SUV. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Toyota 4Runner

Toyota 4Runner Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2006	The 4Runner's dated powertrain--its automatic transmission is down three gear ratios compared to the Jeep's--and brick-like aerodynamics aren't good for fuel economy. EPA ratings are just 17 city, 21 highway. The Jeep with its V6 engine does the same in city driving, but 3 mpg better on the highway. Plus you can get a diesel engine in the Jeep, and it rates 21/28. In real-world suburban driving, I managed to coax the 4Runner's trip computer average as high as 24.6, but high teens and low 20s were more typical. On the highway the trip computer reported 20.5, close to the EPA rating. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2010	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range	Mid size and large SUVs are not good on fuel economy. While shopping this market fuel economy was a consideration. Fuel economy is projected at 17 mpg in the city and 22-23 mpg on the highway. This is one of the leaders for vehicles in this class. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2008	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Higher than average for this size and type of vehicle. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Best mileage for a vehicle that can tow 5,000 pounds. 21mpg in the summer for my typical daily driving. see full Toyota 4Runner review
1999	0	Trying to improve MPG above 17 may not happen. The previous owner Beat this poor old 4Runner, only put in a new trans, which is now slipping ever-so-slightly (not low fluid). Had to put in new exhaust - all, and mass air flow sensor. Maybe that's to be expected at 150k miles, and maybe these problems are more due to owner neglect. Altho I obtained this vehicle as part of a package deal (together with the mobile home I bought), I really wanted to love this truck, but during these firstfew months, so far it's not making me very happy, and I love to drive! Next vehicle will be a standard transmission, before they're all relics from a distant and fading, forgotten past! see full Toyota 4Runner review

2011	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not really bad, but how about a hybrid? A Prius 4runner? see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	Getting an average of 16-17MPG with V8, but I expected that see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	If fuel cost is a concern, then this is definitely not the vehicle to have. Manages 18mpg combined if driven carefully. Does what it does extremely well so nothing unexpected. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	The dash readout is optimistic. I often though I was getting over 25mpg only to calculate as low as 14--on the highway! Ultimately, this was the 4Runners undoing. I traded it for a much more efficient Camry. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2004	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	I knew going in that it would use a lot, but it still makes me grimace. Still, when we had a foot of new snow and I was driving around stalled and tire-spinning vehicles with absolutely no difficulty (on Michelin all-seasons), you figure that it balances. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2004	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Not that I dislike the 4runners fuel economy, actually for a large sport utility it does pretty good, just done buy a suv if your looking to get good gas mileage. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2004	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	It uses quite a bit of gas, I average 16 l/ 100km, or roughly about 15 mpg, and I do fair bit of highway driving. see full Toyota 4Runner review
