2016 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 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
2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 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

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The Mazda5 doesn't get great milage. But it's better than other minivans and most CUVs. Of the alternatives I shopped, the Mazda was the most frugal on gas. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Impressive considering all this vehicle can do (carry six, or a bunch of stuff). Driven with some restraint (60-65), I can average 30+ mpg on my weekly commute. With a microvan that can seat six. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Better than our previous mini-van, mostly because of size. We drive it harder, so some of that advantage is lost :) see full Mazda Mazda5 review

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 If only. If only Skyactiv came out during the 5's redesign. While gas usage is better than the competition, it's far worse than it could be. Just popping in Mazda's latest engine and tranmission combo would surely give several more mpg. Just a 10% improvement would make me happier. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 My 4 speed automatic yields about 10.5 L/100 km on 50/50 highway and city driving with a conscious effort to stick to the speed limit and driving as if I had an egg under my right foot. Eh, I thought it would AT LEAST be under 10. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
