2009 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 More than reasonable for a 5000 lb vehicle. Benefits of aero design ( for an SUV ) and six speed transmission both contribute. see full Buick Enclave review

Buick Enclave Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 0 The fuel economy is abysmal and as far as I know, Buick STILL doesn't offer a hybrid option. The best mileage I've been able to get on long road trips with mostly highway driving is 22-23 mpg. City driving, however, stubbornly stays at 14-15 mpg, no matter what I do! :( see full Buick Enclave review
2009 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Well under (15-20%) below the EPA ratings, though the engine is STILL brand new (<400 miles total). see full Buick Enclave review

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 In town much less than advertised. O.K. (18-19) on freeway. see full Buick Enclave review
2008 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 This is the one thing that is a weak point. at 12-16 MPG, this car could use a larger and more efficient engine. Had GM not folded, there was talks of a hybrid version (which still may come out as a Caddy) which we would definitely buy without hesitation. see full Buick Enclave review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Chevrolet Malibu

Chevrolet Malibu Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearComment
The EPA rates the Malibu turbo 21 mpg city, 30 highway, below the Fusion 2.0T's 22/33 and the Sonata 2.0T's 22/34. The V6s in the Accord and Altima also do better?so much for the inherent fuel economy advantage of a turbocharged four over a V6. The trip computer confirmed the EPA ratings, with a little over 30 in straight 75 mph highway driving and anywhere from 19 to 27 in the suburbs depending on the frequency of reds and the heaviness of my right foot. Go with the traffic flow, and you'll split the difference at about 23. see full Chevrolet Malibu review

2014 4dr Sedan 196-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 We are seeing beteer fuel economy over our 2009 Malibu w/2.5L 4-cyl engine. Just turned 5,000 miles & have gotten just under 34 MPG on hwy & 28 MPG around town. I expect this to improve, especially the hwy MPG. see full Chevrolet Malibu review
2013 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 So far the dash display average is fluctuating between 37 and 40 mpg with mixed interstate (65%)/suburban (35%), "light accelerator foot," speed limit driving; at least 40% better than my prior V6 Toyota Solara. see full Chevrolet Malibu review

2011 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Good overall. Highway mpg can be 30-32 mpg. In city driving (stop and go) with short trips more like 18-19 mpg. see full Chevrolet Malibu review
