Buick Encore Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	With front-wheel-drive, the Encore earns EPA ratings of 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. Add all-wheel-drive (as on the tested car) and these figures drop to 23/30. Given the Encore's small size and marginal power output, better might be expected. The BMW X1, with another 102 horsepower, somehow manages 22/33 on the EPA test cycle. But the BMW's ratings seem a bit iffy. I had a much easier time meeting and exceeding the Buick's EPA ratings. At a steady 70 on the highway I averaged over 31. In suburban driving the trip computer regularly reported averages in the low 30s, even 35. To average over 30, though, you can't have too many stops or too heavy a foot. Put the pedal down hard, and the small four-cylinder engine's turbo will enable it to gulp air--and fuel--like a much larger one. Drive with little care for fuel economy, and 25 will happen. Which is still better than the EPA rating. The Tucson is among the oldest designs in Hyundai's line, and doesn't have the firm's latest engine technology. Consequently, its EPA ratings are a dismal (for a compact, 176-horsepower vehicle) 20/27. The current compact crossover champ, the Mazda CX-5, manages just a little better than the Encore, 24/30. see full Buick Encore review

2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The almost 40 mpg on the highway makes the Buick Encore the most efficient, real world, all wheel drive gasoline sedan or CUV available. The engine torque from the turbo makes output low in the operating range on low 87 octane. see full Buick Encore review

Mercury Milan Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2008	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	MPG up to 34 hwy, no less than 25 in heavy traffic. 17 gal tank gives you around 500 mile range between gas stations. see full Mercury Milan review
2007	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	The economy is amazing and not compromised. see full Mercury Milan review
2007	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	I can carry my family, in comfort, for long trips and still get 30mpg+. Around town driving returns 23+ mpg. This mileage is within 2-3 mpg of the smaller 2003 Focus we replaced. see full Mercury Milan review
2006	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	I have seen as high as 34.5 mpg at 57mph. see full Mercury Milan review

2006	0 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Was match competitively with similar models, see full Mercury Milan review
2006	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	We consistently get around 30 MPG - and this is computed from amount of fuel and miles travelled, not from the "trip computer." This is a darn nice-size car to deliver that kind of fuel economy. see full Mercury Milan review

Mercury Milan Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Hyundi Sonata with similar size engine and a 5-speed automatic delivers 22/32. Malibu with a 2.4 and a 6-speed delivers 22/32. Focus/Milan with a 2.3 and 5-speed auto 20/28. Initial freeway driving is consistent in the 28-30 mpg range. Competitors better. see full Mercury Milan review
