TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Volvo XC60

Volvo XC60 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearComment
Volvo has a new, highly fuel efficient four-cylinder engine on the way. For 2014, though, the XC60 continues to be powered by a trio of 3.0-liter sixes that lag most competitors in fuel economy. The T6 scored 17 mpg in the EPA's city cycle, and 24 mpg on the highway. The Cadillac SRX does even worse (16/23), but the Acura RDX (19/27), Audi Q5 3.0T (18/26), BMW X3 35xDrive (19/26), and Mercedes-Benz GLK350 (19/24) all do better. These disappointing test scores were validated during my week with the car. In suburban driving the trip computer average usually ranged between 18 and 20. Even with a light foot 22 wasn't easy to achieve. see full Volvo XC60 review

2012 4dr SUV turbocharged 325hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Not that great for a cross-over SUV, but it's a relatively heavy, solid vehicle with a 6-cylinder turbo, so it's not exactly a hybrid! see full Volvo XC60 review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2009 4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Is very low in stop-and-go traffic. Gets better with time, I understand. see full Pontiac G8 review
