2009	4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Has been very good and getting better see full Mercury Mariner review
2009	4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Coming from a Trailblazer, we like the average of 21-22 MPG in mixed driving, as were used to about 17 MPG. Fuel economy climbs toward the rated 26 MPG the more highway driving we do. see full Mercury Mariner review
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	For the first almost three years after we got the car, it gave 21+ mpg in town & 24+ mpg on the road. see full Mercury Mariner review
2005	4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	For an SUV with a 4cyl and 4wd I get avg of 22 MPG mixed city and highway. I usually get 23-26 on freeway only. This is good. see full Mercury Mariner review

Mercury Mariner Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	For some reason when new Michelin All Terrain tires with Nitrogen air replaced the Champions from the factory, it plummeted to 17 & 20 mpg. No explanation from Michelin, Costco or Ford/Mercury - they have no idea why. see full Mercury Mariner review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Volkswagen Tiguan

Volkswagen Tiguan Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Swapped the paper filter for a K&N filter, kept the original air box. Get over 24mpg city, close to 30 on the freeway w/ moderate hills. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For a small crossover/suv its pretty good. Went on a 400 mile round trip to the mountains (5,500ft elevation) for the weekend and back (2,00ft elevation) and averaged 26mpg. Day to day driving I get about 25.5mpg without trying to be conservative. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD	40+ mpg constantly. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review

Volkswagen Tiguan Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Our Tiguan ranges from 20-30 mpg, between city and highway cruising. It's consistently about 5 mpg thirstier than the GTI. Blame the extra weight, but there's less than 400 lbs of that, IIRC. Or blame the AWD, but it's part-time only. I blame the large aero cross-section; it stands about a foot taller than a Golf. If VW would offer a TDI in the Tiguan, they'd sell as many as they could spare to the US market. I'd be standing in line. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Bring the tdi diesel to the US and problem solved. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Less than I had hoped for at around 25mpg average. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Its OK, but could be better. I see 21-22 suburban, as much as 28 on long highway trips. Premium fuel is the bigger drawback. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
