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

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 SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Coming from a Trailblazer, we like the average of 21-22 MPG in mixed driving, as were used to about 17 MPG. Fuel economy climbs toward the rated 26 MPG the more highway driving we do. see full Mercury Mariner review
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	For the first almost three years after we got the car, it gave 21+ mpg in town & 24+ mpg on the road. see full Mercury Mariner review
2005	4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	For an SUV with a 4cyl and 4wd I get avg of 22 MPG mixed city and highway. I usually get 23-26 on freeway only. This is good. see full Mercury Mariner review

Mercury Mariner Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	For some reason when new Michelin All Terrain tires with Nitrogen air replaced the Champions from the factory, it plummeted to 17 & 20 mpg. No explanation from Michelin, Costco or Ford/Mercury - they have no idea why. see full Mercury Mariner review
