TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Rogue

Nissan Rogue Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Though more fuel-efficient than heavier, truck-based SUVs, crossovers have remained much less fuel-efficient than lower, lighter, more aerodynamic cars. Especially if they are equipped with all-wheel-drive (AWD), which adds weight and drivetrain friction. Still, their efficiency has been improving. With EPA ratings of 25 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, the all-wheel-drive 2014 Nissan Rogue is the most fuel efficient compact crossover. (Add one mpg for the front-wheel-drive Rogue.) The new Subaru Forester comes close, with 24/32, followed by the Mazda CX-5 (24/30) and Mitsubishi Outlander (24/29). The Ford Escape (22/30), Honda CR-V (22/30) and Toyota RAV4 (22/29) lag behind the others. In the real world, the Rogue had no trouble beating the EPA estimates. In suburban driving the trip computer typically reported averages between 27 and 31. On one 65-mph highway run downtown, the trip computer reported 40.6 on the way there, then 27.9 on the return. Wind? That, and perhaps my foot wasn't as light. Though the latter figure is much less impressive, the two-way average of 34 is quite good for an all-wheel-drive crossover, especially with the outside temperature just above freezing. I tested the Subaru Forester in colder weather with a lot of snow on the roads, so unfortunately I cannot provide comparable real-world figures for it. The averages I did observe plus the EPA estimates suggest it should be not quite as efficient, but close enough that I'm calling this one a tie. Unless you don't need all-wheel-drive. Then the Rogue has an edge. Notably, both vehicles have continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). see full Nissan Rogue review

2014	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	I drive in an area of constant small hills and was 'forced' into AWD: milage by trip computer is only 27 after 30000 miles, but this is probably pretty good for the terrain and vehicle size. see full Nissan Rogue review

2010	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	Had the Rogue for a 6 hour test drive. Highway mileage was 8.1litres/100km on the highway at 120K and in town was 9.3. I feel this is very good for this size of a vehicle with this much room and comfort. see full Nissan Rogue review

2010	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD	Disappointed! I get around 22 total if I'm lucky. Even in highway driving, I never get near the EPA upper end. I do run the A/C almost all the time, since I live in South Florida, but compared to other vehicles I have, it still is pretty bad. see full Nissan Rogue review
2009	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	Hey - an AWD SUV that gets around 24 mpg? Sweet. see full Nissan Rogue review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Toyota 4Runner

Toyota 4Runner Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2006	The 4Runner's dated powertrain--its automatic transmission is down three gear ratios compared to the Jeep's--and brick-like aerodynamics aren't good for fuel economy. EPA ratings are just 17 city, 21 highway. The Jeep with its V6 engine does the same in city driving, but 3 mpg better on the highway. Plus you can get a diesel engine in the Jeep, and it rates 21/28. In real-world suburban driving, I managed to coax the 4Runner's trip computer average as high as 24.6, but high teens and low 20s were more typical. On the highway the trip computer reported 20.5, close to the EPA rating. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2010	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range	Mid size and large SUVs are not good on fuel economy. While shopping this market fuel economy was a consideration. Fuel economy is projected at 17 mpg in the city and 22-23 mpg on the highway. This is one of the leaders for vehicles in this class. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2008	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Higher than average for this size and type of vehicle. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Best mileage for a vehicle that can tow 5,000 pounds. 21mpg in the summer for my typical daily driving. see full Toyota 4Runner review
1999	0	Trying to improve MPG above 17 may not happen. The previous owner Beat this poor old 4Runner, only put in a new trans, which is now slipping ever-so-slightly (not low fluid). Had to put in new exhaust - all, and mass air flow sensor. Maybe that's to be expected at 150k miles, and maybe these problems are more due to owner neglect. Altho I obtained this vehicle as part of a package deal (together with the mobile home I bought), I really wanted to love this truck, but during these firstfew months, so far it's not making me very happy, and I love to drive! Next vehicle will be a standard transmission, before they're all relics from a distant and fading, forgotten past! see full Toyota 4Runner review

2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	If fuel cost is a concern, then this is definitely not the vehicle to have. Manages 18mpg combined if driven carefully. Does what it does extremely well so nothing unexpected. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	The dash readout is optimistic. I often though I was getting over 25mpg only to calculate as low as 14--on the highway! Ultimately, this was the 4Runners undoing. I traded it for a much more efficient Camry. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2004	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	I knew going in that it would use a lot, but it still makes me grimace. Still, when we had a foot of new snow and I was driving around stalled and tire-spinning vehicles with absolutely no difficulty (on Michelin all-seasons), you figure that it balances. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2004	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Not that I dislike the 4runners fuel economy, actually for a large sport utility it does pretty good, just done buy a suv if your looking to get good gas mileage. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2004	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	It uses quite a bit of gas, I average 16 l/ 100km, or roughly about 15 mpg, and I do fair bit of highway driving. see full Toyota 4Runner review
