TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Volvo V60

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 For 2015 the five- and six-cylinder engines in its front-wheel-drive models have been replaced by a new four-cylinder engine.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

2006	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	For a teenager that does lots of driving for parttime job and to school, needed a vehicel that was large enough to be safe in traffic, yet give good gas mileage. see full Honda Element review

Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review
2005	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review
2004	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review
2004	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Wish it got better fuel economy, but what do you expect for a brick? see full Honda Element review
2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	I always get exactly 20 mpg, which seams low see full Honda Element review
2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review
