Volvo S80 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Even though it says it requires Premium in Summer some where in that manual it states I can use 87~89 octane gas without harming the engine. That is helpful to know. With premium fuel and my mainly highway driving with only 2 persons on board we get 25MPG see full Volvo S80 review
2005	4dr Sedan turbocharged 161hp 2.4L I5 Diesel 5-speed automatic FWD	Very small comparing to other cars see full Volvo S80 review
2004	4dr Sedan turbocharged 268hp 2.9L I6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Excellent city and highway mileage. see full Volvo S80 review
2001	4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed automatic FWD	I've had this car for 13 years now and the mpg has always been very good. Being a European model (2.4 litre petrol auto - 170 bhp) it does not compare directly with any US models. I have the air con on 100% of the time. If I keep to the speed limit - 80 -85 on the speedo I get 35 mpg (English gallons!) without any problem. On a holiday trip to Portugal doing long distance driving and at slightly slower speeds - say 70 mph on the speedo - I managed 40 mpg over nearly 1,500 miles. In town stop start driving I will usually get 25 mpg. Impressive figures I think for a 13 year old vehicle weighing as much as it does. see full Volvo S80 review
2000	4dr Sedan turbocharged 268hp 2.8L I6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	average 18 MPG see full Volvo S80 review

2007	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very good fuel economy overall but running the AC continuously does produce a noticeable 2-3 mpg decrease in fuel economy. see full Volvo S80 review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Sentra

Nissan Sentra Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Aside from some speciality models that cannot be heavily optioned, the Sentra continues to top the rest of its segment in fuel economy, with EPA ratings of 30 mpg city, 39 highway. Well, almost. The new-for-2014 Mazda3 does a bit better with 30/40. Even with its base 1.8-liter engine the Kia Forte doesn't rate nearly as well, 25/36. If you want leather and such you're also getting the 2.0-liter engine, which is rated 24/36. The Sentra's trip computer substantiated its EPA estimates, and then some. On the highway cruising at 65 it reported a two-way average of 47 (up from 40 last year, probably due to warmer temps). In suburban driving the trip computer regularly reported averages of 36 to 37 (up from 32 last year), and on one run to my son's school with a very light foot on the pedals it topped 46. see full Nissan Sentra review

2002	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD	With MPG levels of 26 city/ 28 highway (even though you can go as far as 32 mpg highway and obtain an average of 26 mpg on mixed driving with the occasional engine redlining), the fuel economy of this car is pretty adequate. On stock form it will not drain your wallet, even when Nissan has the ECU tuned in the SE-R and SE-R Spec V to run a bit richer than in the Altima. It's no Prius but it's not as bad as, let's say, a modified Mazda rotary engine. Modifications like cold air intake and header will decrease some MPG but the change isn't too drastic either. see full Nissan Sentra review

2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	This car obtains awful fuel economy in the city. Mine averages about 20 on a good day in stop and go traffic. On the highway, it has gotten as high as 37, but typically hovers around 30-33. Be prepared to visit the pump often, it takes about 12-13 gallons see full Nissan Sentra review
