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

Ford Taurus Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	With 28 to 30 mpg on the highway with a vacation load of luggage, food and other equipment she takes to the road with ease and comfort I never had in any car I previously owned. Mileage is close to the intermediate size Buick I used to drive but this car is much more comfortable and worth the mileage difference. see full Ford Taurus review

Ford Taurus Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	My average MPG is about 24 right now. It does better on the highway and not as well around town. I do not drive it hard. I am using (per Ford) Regular 87 in it and it seems fine. I ran one tank of 93 Premium and did not notice a difference in performance or mileage. see full Ford Taurus review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	It's got a 20 gallon tank and I basically never see 400 miles on the trip counter. 20mpg in mixed use (almost 40 mile round trip commute) has been something to get used to after living with a 4-cylinderMazda 6. In addition, when I hit 1/4 tank on the gas gauge, the range computer plummets to the point that I start planning a fuel stop within 50 miles of the 1/4 tank mark. I don't know if this is unique to my car or not. see full Ford Taurus review
2005	4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Only getting about 4-500 km per tank of gas see full Ford Taurus review
2002	4dr Wagon 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	22 or 23 MPG at best on the highway is mediocre but not terrible given the size and 24V V6. see full Ford Taurus review

Toyota Venza Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	My MPG is averaging between 24-25 MPG which is quite acceptable. Most of my driving is on highways with maybe 10% city (stop & go) which would probably lower my average. Best MPG on highway was 27.8 mpg as calculated by the onboard MPG display. see full Toyota Venza review
2010	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	For such a large vehicle with cargo space bordering on a small SUV, it gets fantastic fuel economy relative to those other SUVs. You get the best of both worlds. see full Toyota Venza review
2009	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Much better than previous SUV. Much. Much. Much. see full Toyota Venza review

2011	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Would like to see Toyota add a hybrid model to the Venza line. If they did I would buy a another one to replace our current 2nd car. As is I am leaning toward a Golf TDI wagon. Highlander hybrid is too pricey for us. Venza gives us 22 mpg combined. see full Toyota Venza review
