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
