What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Chrysler Town & Country

Chrysler Town & Country Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy averages around 20 mpg for us, which is mostly mixed driving. Not bad for such a large vehicle, that has impressive power. The highway mileage is impressive. In good weather, with the cruise set on 70, it gets about 30 mpg. Really impressive for such a big vehicle. Of course different terrain and weather conditions can affect that a lot. Winter highway mileage, more like 24 mpg. Overall I am impressed with the combination of power and fuel economy. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Many of our trips, we average between 23 and 25 MPH. Its not bad for four to six people plus a dog and luggage. We could not fit all our stuff into two of most vehicles. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	It gets 24 to 25 MPG at 70+ on the freeway and near 20 in short trip and city driving. Very good mileage for a 7 pass van. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	there is nothing wrong with this car great fuel economy even when towing no major issues as long as you keep up with regular maintenance see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2010	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	WOW all I can say is on the highway I am lucky to see 18 mpg when we did the calculations and checked it five times we come to an avrage of about 13 mpg see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	1) Mileage is what the EPA sticker states. However, thought I would be able to get better than stated in real life conditions. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I get less fuel economy than 2006 model I had. It is a heavier vehicle and not as aerodynamic. Without the 6 speed it might be less. 16 city 22 highway. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	would like to get 20+ city and 27 - 30+ country see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2003	4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Very poor fuel economy when it comes to city driving. Highway driving fuel economy is acceptable for 2003 model vehicles of this type. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2003	4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	A turbo sedan that got me 35mpg all-highway, and gets 28+ in mixed driving. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great fuel economy my first tank was 28mpg, my second one with my cold air intake installed got it over 30! see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The car does get excellent fuel economy- IF you can keep your foot out of it. I rarely succeed in that endeavor- the car is just too much fun to drive, the embodiment of "driving a slow car, fast." see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great fuel efficiency but still retains a lot of pep and zip. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not too bad, the roof rack hurts it a bit. gets a solid 22-25 driving 70-75 on highway. Does get 30mpg at 60 mph, but that speed will get you killed on California interstates. see full Mazda Protege review

2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I average right around 30mpg with mixed driving, a little highway-biased. I've been satisfied with the overall gas mileage. see full Mazda Protege review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Suburban fuel economy is acceptable, at nearly 30 mpg. But on the highway, with the engine spinning well over 3,000 rpm, fuel economy also struggles to crack 30. Many much larger, much more powerful cars achieve better highway fuel economy. Some owners have fitted the fifth gear from the related transmission in the Mazda6 to get more of an overdrive. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	not good for a small 4 cyl. i have had better economy on the same roads with bigger and simmilar cars see full Mazda Protege review
