Acura TLX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Compared to the Honda Accord, the Acura TLX has stronger engines and different, more performance-oriented transmissions. As a result, fuel economy takes a bit of a hit. Focusing on the four-cylinder, the EPA ratings are 27/36 for the Honda and 24/35 for the Acura. The latter is a nice bump over the 22/31 of last year's TSX, though, and also compares favorably to the MKZ's 22/33. In my driving, the trip computer reported averages ranging between 24 and 36 mpg in the suburbs (the high number when I was especially easy on the pedals) and high 30s on the highway. Of course, if fuel economy is a priority you can get the MKZ in hybrid form. Acura offers no such option. But the MKZ Hybrid is relatively sluggish. If you want a combination of good performance and good fuel economy in the same car (if not during the same drive), the TLX 2.4 has an edge. see full Acura TLX review

Mercury Montego Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	It is great for such a big car. 30 mpg is pretty easy for highway cruising, and mixing driving will do 24-25. see full Mercury Montego review
2005	4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	A large car that gets over 20 MPG in city driving is great. The 29 MPG highway rating is nice, but the car is mainly used as a grocery getter / errand runner. see full Mercury Montego review
2005	4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Surprisingly good fuel mileage. 24 city/31 Hwy. see full Mercury Montego review
