What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Buick Rainier

Buick Rainier Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2005 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.3L V8
4-speed automatic AWD		 12 mpg see full Buick Rainier review
2004 4dr SUV 290-horsepower 5.3L V8
4-speed automatic AWD		 An AWD V8 body on frame SUV/truck like the Rainier will be a gas pig. Mid to high teens are all you should expect. The benefit of poor gas mileage is strong towing performance. see full Buick Rainier review
