Buick Rainier Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

Ford Escort / ZX2 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	2dr Coupe 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Very good. When I drive it in my mostly rural neighborhood, I get 25-27 MPG when not in winter. I know my son has done better on long trips. see full Ford Escort / ZX2 review
