Buick Enclave Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	24 - 28 mpg summer highway driving see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	for an 8 passenger vehicle that can tow 4,500 pounds. I cannot complain about 19.3 mpg city and 24.7 mpg highway. see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Better than competition with regular gas see full Buick Enclave review

Buick Enclave Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 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
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Wish it better but I expected it for a heavy veh see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Car is still in break-in period, but not seeing anything close to advertised mileage. see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Hey, at $4.00/gallon getting only 22 mpg hurts. We take the econo-car most of the time. see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It actually gets great mileage for its size and weight, but hey, its not a Prius. see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Bad around town see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Fuel economy is good for suv this size.( As big as Tahoe ) see full Buick Enclave review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	mid 30s in town about 40 so far on trips expect better as the engine breaks in and we take more freeway trips see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2012	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Excellent with the TDI - not sure the gas version. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	No need to sacrifice mpg to get that power. Have gotten 50 mpg on highway trips of 40 miles. Averaging 39 mpg at fill-ups. Getting 300 miles to half a tank of gas. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I was hoping for a bit better than the 8+ litres/100 km we are getting with this Sportwagen. I was hoping it would be closer to the 6 l/100 km advertised on the window sticker. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Our Sportwagen, automatic, has 17,000 mostly country/suburban miles. We routinely get 43 mpg and the mileage seems to have improved a bit, maybe 2-3 mpg since new. Top mileage is about 47 mph on the interstate, low is about 37 in combined in-town/suburban winter driving. For a car that is fun to drive and responsive at the stop light, this seems very good to me. Right now, diesel is at a premium compared to gas, but we still are saving money on fuel. Mileage on other brands of small wagons was much lower for the same utility. A friend with a new, 2013 Subaru wagon got 30 mpg on a long trip and was happy, but nothing like the TDI delivers. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review

2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	With 32k Miles on the odo, the mileage keeps improving. I think the engine will be fully broken in at about 50k see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	The TDI is a great contender in the fuel economy range. I do alot of driving and it would have presented great savings to me if I was able to located one when I needed to purchase a car. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD	I was getting around 50 mpg on steady state freeway driving. But the performance was far from economy car- Way better! Can imagine what is possible when the car gets broke in. Excellent all around. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review

2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Sportwagen's fuel economy is exactly what you'd expect from a fairly substantial compact wagon and a 2.5 litre gas engine, not the magically impossible gas mileage posted on the window sticker at the dealership! see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
