2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I belive we could engineer better fuel economy, or put in a Diesel. Also, Four gears are lacking in a heavy, AWD Vehicle. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	On average I get great mileage in the city 17.5 to 19 mpg. But on the highway I only get 22 unless I stay below 65 then I get 27 see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2004	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	With todays fuel prices, the Pacifca is not for you if you city drive. I get around 14 to 16 in the city and on the highway I get around 19 to 21. Not the best out there on the road, but again weight and underpowered is the main cause. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2003	4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	A turbo sedan that got me 35mpg all-highway, and gets 28+ in mixed driving. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great fuel economy my first tank was 28mpg, my second one with my cold air intake installed got it over 30! see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The car does get excellent fuel economy- IF you can keep your foot out of it. I rarely succeed in that endeavor- the car is just too much fun to drive, the embodiment of "driving a slow car, fast." see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great fuel efficiency but still retains a lot of pep and zip. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not too bad, the roof rack hurts it a bit. gets a solid 22-25 driving 70-75 on highway. Does get 30mpg at 60 mph, but that speed will get you killed on California interstates. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	ave 30 mpg+ see full Mazda Protege review
2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I average right around 30mpg with mixed driving, a little highway-biased. I've been satisfied with the overall gas mileage. see full Mazda Protege review

Mazda Protege Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Suburban fuel economy is acceptable, at nearly 30 mpg. But on the highway, with the engine spinning well over 3,000 rpm, fuel economy also struggles to crack 30. Many much larger, much more powerful cars achieve better highway fuel economy. Some owners have fitted the fifth gear from the related transmission in the Mazda6 to get more of an overdrive. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	not good for a small 4 cyl. i have had better economy on the same roads with bigger and simmilar cars see full Mazda Protege review
