Chevrolet Sonic Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 The fuel economy is excellent on this car as long as you are not on the pedal too heavy. Freeway (70-75 mph) mileage is around 40 to 42 mpg. Rural highway (55-62 mph) 42-46 mpg. The worst mpg i have every experienced is 36.5. This was mostly in town with the AC on. see full Chevrolet Sonic review
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Have never got below 37.7 miles to the gallon. I do drive conservatively but even when my husband who drives significantly more aggressive the gas mileage has been excellent see full Chevrolet Sonic review
2012 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I had a Choice between My Current Car, a Kia Rio , a Ford Focus and Mazda 3. Between ALL these only the Sonic was a Certified Pre-Owned Vheicle and the others were not. The Fuel economy was ALMOST the Same..but i thought the Sonic had faired A Tad bit better. see full Chevrolet Sonic review

2010 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The gas mileage is great for a 7 passenger SUV. On the highway at 60 mph you can see 25-28 mpg. City wise we see 18-19. see full Dodge Journey review
2009 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Averaged about 24-26 MPG in the 10 days that we rented it. see full Dodge Journey review
2009 4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 It can be economical at average speeds. Its still good when being pushed on a journey. see full Dodge Journey review

6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Very Surprising. 20.6 average and 25.5hwy @ 75mph see full Dodge Journey review
Dodge Journey Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2016 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 16 /24 in the AWD V6, 19 overall per the EPA. The city number is quite poor, though the highway number is competitive. We don't put all that many miles on our cars so it was something that we could more easily overlook, but if you've got a fairly long commute that isn't mostly on the highway, this might be a deal breaker. see full Dodge Journey review
2012 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The biggest disappointment for the car is the lower fuel economy. On the highway, it gets right around 30, but in town driving suddenly drops to under 20. That's a big difference, and since it is primarily used around town (less than 15% highway) we're paying a bit more in fuel costs. see full Dodge Journey review
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 so far I have been getting about 17 mpg in the city. see full Dodge Journey review
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 it does not get anywhere close to what Dodge claims, even when my husband drives it. see full Dodge Journey review
2009 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 no better than the Town and Country van, with far less room. see full Dodge Journey review
