I'd love to have better mileage; but, I also want cargo capacity and comfort. That's the tradeoff. The newer Traverse has a 9-speed transmission that no doubt helps it get a few more miles per gallon but it also has auto stop/start (which I'm not fond of). Mileage on the trip to and from New Jersey was right at 24 MPG--when I remember my last Chevy (IROC-Z28 with L-98 engine) I realize that was the same mileage I got from a car that had little utility. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

Fuel economy literally sucks!! I guess it's the price you pay for driving a big vehicle with all-wheel drive. I also own a new GMC 4x4 quad cab truck with a 6 liter engine. My truck gets better fuel economy than my 3.6 liter Traverse. Maybe I just got stuck with a lemon. I'm told that fuel economy is supposed to get better once the engine gets more km's on it. I doubt it will improve very much at all to notice any savings at the pump. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

While its not a hybrid, when you move from a gas-guzzling minivan to the Touring, it feels like you are no longer owned by the oil companies. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

I was somewhat disappointed by the fuel economy of this car. You are not going to see the 40 mpg numbers like the standard elantra. I drive in the city and get 25-30mpg on average. Typical highway mileage is pretty good though - I got between 35-37 mpg. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

The fuel economy of the car has been exactly as advertised, unlike the new Elantra design. The Elantra Touring has consistently recorded 27 mpg in city driving and 33+ mpg in highway driving. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

28 mpg in all suburban driving. Very impressive for a car rated 22/30 see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

Averaging 35-36 mpg, with as high as 41.5 mpg. This is great for a vehicle with a EPA rating of 30 MPG for the highway. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review

Excellent highway economy, topping 40MPG (downhill, with a tailwind, mostly coasting - but it is still possible!) see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review
