Buick Verano Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	A lot of weight and enough power to move it don't make for class-leading fuel economy. So it should come as no surprise that the Verano's EPA ratings, 21 mpg city and 30 highway, trail those of some V6-powered midsize sedans. The ILX 2.4 does just a single mpg better, though. The benchmark for quick compact sedans is currently set by the BMW 3-Series, with ratings of 23/33. In my suburban driving the trip computer typically reported low 20s. A highway stretch netted only 27. With a light foot I could also manage 27 in the suburbs. But if you're not going to use the turbo, why pay for it? see full Buick Verano review

2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I did see 39 mpg on a tankful of gas just commuting on the highway 118 miles at 60 mph. It great fuel economy and it is what I expect from turbo-4 these days. see full Buick Verano review
2012	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	We previously owned a Cruze LTZ with the 1.4L Turbo and the Verano's 2.4L was by far the winner on fuel mileage. We got 700km out ouf a tank of fuel with an average speed of 110 km's see full Buick Verano review

2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy is respectable on the Turbo engine (for a high-performance engine). I was disappointed in the unimpressive fuel economy with the base 2.4L engine. see full Buick Verano review

Kia Sedona Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2008	Most Kia Sedonas earn EPA ratings of 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway. This is just a bit worse than the Sienna's 18/25, but well below the Odyssey's 19/28, at least on the highway. But the SX Limited, with more heft and different tires, rates only 17/22, the lowest of any current minivan. In my real-world sub-freezing driving the trip computer reported averages between 16 and 21 in the suburbs (depending on the number of stops, amount of traffic, whether the engine was already warmed up, etc.) and about 25 on the highway. The Sienna managed about the same--but with all-wheel-drive. A front-wheel-drive Toyota should do a little better. In somewhat warmer weather, the Odyssey managed as high as 25 on my standard home-to-school run. see full Kia Sedona review

2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 250-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Er, economy is not the right word to use here. It gulps fuel, even when driven fairly carefully. see full Kia Sedona review
