What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford Taurus X

Ford Taurus X Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 For an AWD beast, 25.6 miles per US gallon on the highway (6 hr run) into ski country, on snow tires, is pretty darned good at 70 mph. see full Ford Taurus X review
Ford Taurus X Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 In town we regularly got 15-16 mpg, and we rarely cracked 22 mpg on the highway. This was consistent with the 15/22 EPA ratings. see full Ford Taurus X review
