TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Buick Verano

Buick Verano Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	A lot of weight and enough power to move it don't make for class-leading fuel economy. So it should come as no surprise that the Verano's EPA ratings, 21 mpg city and 30 highway, trail those of some V6-powered midsize sedans. The ILX 2.4 does just a single mpg better, though. The benchmark for quick compact sedans is currently set by the BMW 3-Series, with ratings of 23/33. In my suburban driving the trip computer typically reported low 20s. A highway stretch netted only 27. With a light foot I could also manage 27 in the suburbs. But if you're not going to use the turbo, why pay for it? see full Buick Verano review

2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I did see 39 mpg on a tankful of gas just commuting on the highway 118 miles at 60 mph. It great fuel economy and it is what I expect from turbo-4 these days. see full Buick Verano review
2012	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	We previously owned a Cruze LTZ with the 1.4L Turbo and the Verano's 2.4L was by far the winner on fuel mileage. We got 700km out ouf a tank of fuel with an average speed of 110 km's see full Buick Verano review

Buick Verano Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy is respectable on the Turbo engine (for a high-performance engine). I was disappointed in the unimpressive fuel economy with the base 2.4L engine. see full Buick Verano review

2009	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	36.1 mpg at 70 - 75 mph between Jackson WY and Denver with only 1,000 miles on the odometer. 25 mpg so far in pure city driving with many short trips. see full Kia Spectra review
2008	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	First tank of gas was 25 mpg all in town driving. Not bad. see full Kia Spectra review
