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

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

Ford Flex Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	I am currently averaging 20 MPG overall with heavy highway use. For the size of vehicle I think that is rather reasonable. see full Ford Flex review
2010	4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	1000 miles of ownership so far, 21-22 mpg in light suburb and highway driving, 24-25 mpg on 500 mile trip (fuel economy measured by calculating miles driven divided by gallons of fuel purchased). see full Ford Flex review
2009	4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Only driven around town, mileage 16.6, have never had it on the open road. see full Ford Flex review
2009	4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Very good for a 4500 lb vehicle. see full Ford Flex review
