YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Upper 20's on highway and mid-20's in suburbia from a vehicle that weighs 5K lbs. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2009 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Other luxury cars/SUVs require premium gas. Diesel could be same or even cheaper than regular gas and with immense torque and a somewhat light foot I get almost 25Mpg see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2007 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 5000 lbs vehicle. Gets 32 mpg on highway up to 75 mph, faster than that mpg drops. 23 to 24 mpg around town see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
Mercedes-Benz M-Class Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Have a V8, so I should have expected, but mpg is averaging about 16 around town. With the current gas prices, I dread going to the pump. $90 to fill up the huge tank. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review

4-speed automatic AWD		 For a teenager that does lots of driving for parttime job and to school, needed a vehicel that was large enough to be safe in traffic, yet give good gas mileage. see full Honda Element review

2011 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review
2005 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review
2004 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review
2004 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Wish it got better fuel economy, but what do you expect for a brick? see full Honda Element review
2003 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 I always get exactly 20 mpg, which seams low see full Honda Element review
2003 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review
