Volvo V60 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Recently Volvo launched a serious push to improve its cars' fuel economy. For 2015 the five- and six-cylinder engines in its front-wheel-drive models have been replaced by a new four-cylinder engine. The benefit? Fuel economy for the related S60 T5 sedan improved from 21 mpg city, 30 mpg highway last year to 25 / 37 this year. The new numbers are the best for any gasoline-powered car in the segment. The BMW 328i checks in a couple mpg lower on each test. The 328i wagon, hindered by standard all-wheel-drive, manages "only" 22 / 33 (still impressive figures for such a quick car). Volvo's new engines include a start / stop function that automatically shuts off the engine when the car isn't moving, then automatically restarts it when you lift off the brake. This system operates far more smoothly than BMW's initial attempt, but might still annoy some people. They can hit a button to deactivate it, but they'll have to do this every time they start the car. Since I wasn't at home while testing the V60, I can't compare its real-world fuel economy to that of other cars I've tested. On a twisty rural road the Volvo's trip computer reported 24.8 mpg. On a 70-mph highway it reported 32.5 mpg, well short of the EPA rating. At a lower speed it might have matched the rating. see full Volvo V60 review

Buick Regal Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2011	The Buick Regal and Chrysler 200 both weigh substantially more than just about any other front-wheel-drive midsize sedan. Add all-wheel-drive, and both weigh nearly two tons. Curb weight is the enemy of fuel economy. The Buick's turbocharged four-cylinder engine is more efficient than the Chrysler's V6, so it has an edge in the EPA's city test, 19 vs. 18 mpg. But the Chrysler's automatic transmission has three extra gears, for a total of nine, so it has the edge on the EPA's highway test, 29 vs. 27 mpg. The Ford Fusion, though far from light, has an edge over both: 22 mpg city, 31 mpg highway. see full Buick Regal review

2012	4dr Sedan turbocharged 270hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	For being a turbo 4, I expected slightly better MPG (I average 26mpg mixed with premium). When adding in the Trifecta Performance tune on the car, I average around 29mpg, with the added HP/TQ. What gives, GM? Uncage this beast! see full Buick Regal review
2011	4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	City EPA mileage was lower than I would expect for a four cylinder--should easily best 20 vice 19. see full Buick Regal review
2003	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	It gets 22 in town, 25 on the highway. see full Buick Regal review
