What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Buick Rainier

Buick Rainier Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2005 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.3L V8
4-speed automatic AWD		 12 mpg see full Buick Rainier review
2004 4dr SUV 290-horsepower 5.3L V8
4-speed automatic AWD		 An AWD V8 body on frame SUV/truck like the Rainier will be a gas pig. Mid to high teens are all you should expect. The benefit of poor gas mileage is strong towing performance. see full Buick Rainier review

6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD		 what fuel economy? bought it to pull a Brenderup horse trailer (3300lbs including 1 horse) that can be pulled with a 4cyl car in europe.... doing 22l/100km on flat roads with light foot. more than double combined rating ....GM unresponsive! see full Chevrolet Avalanche review

4-speed automatic RWD		 14MPG in the city sucks. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review
2007 4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 It only averages around 14 to 15 in a mostly city driving environment. Was hoping the V4 mode would kick in more often to help improve the economy. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review
