Dodge Journey Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD	It can be economical at average speeds. Its still good when being pushed on a journey. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very Surprising. 20.6 average and 25.5hwy @ 75mph see full Dodge Journey review

Dodge Journey Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	it does not get anywhere close to what Dodge claims, even when my husband drives it. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	no better than the Town and Country van, with far less room. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	22 MPG could be better see full Dodge Journey review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	99 Dodge Durango with 5.9 V8 got better fuel economy with same driving habits. Expected better with smaller V8 and 6 speed trans. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2008	4dr SUT 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Terrible. I've owned fullsize pickups and SUV so I know what to expect. I've never seen the average mpg display read over 15mpg for the six months I've owned it. The main reason I bought this was the combination AWD and 4WD transfer case, but it doesn't have a 2 wheel drive position like my Sierra did. Boy do I miss that, I averaged 20 mpg per tank. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2007	4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	highway mileage is very good, better than my lighter V6 Ranger; 21mpg on the highway @ 75mph on flat road. City, with the remote start in winter, with the AWD kicking in, and lead foot acceleration nets me 13mpg. A light foot can get 15mpg city see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2002	4dr SUT 203-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	I think we all wish for 30 mpd-thats unrealistic when you have 10000+ lbs on the road when towing. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
