Mazda Tribute Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
For a SUV with a 4-speed automatic, this thing does great on fuel. City mileage ranges from 17-19 and highway ranges from 21-25. Most midsize sedans do not do much better, especially in V6 form. see full Mazda Tribute review
2003 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L I4

for its 4 wheel drive and capacity, it is good see full Mazda Tribute review

Get 17-19 mpg around town. Had hoped for 20mpg, but no big deal. see full Mazda Tribute review

2009 4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Low teens in town, and 24mpg tops on the highway make this a less than ideal economy car. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 256-horsepower 3.6L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The most MPGs I ever had was 25 and that was all highway driving at about 70. see full Pontiac G8 review
2009 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Not bad mileage figures given the size of the car and the beast of an engine, but this is not a car for the hybrid set. see full Pontiac G8 review
