TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Buick Verano

Buick Verano Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearComment
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

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

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

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

The book says 26/33 for mileage. Wife gets significantly less in town. I can get 24 to 25. On 1000 mile trip, I got 33, when car was less than 1 year old. Wife gets 20 in town, with short stop and go drive to work. see full Saturn VUE review

Could be better, but being a former Ion owner I recognize that the break in process is a bit long and economy may improve over time. Would be nice if it got better fuel economy from the beginning and improved from that point. see full Saturn VUE review

I wish the fuel economy was better but I knew what the fuel consumption rating was prior to purchasing the vehicle. It is a large engine (3.6 L) and for its size, a rather heavy vehicle. That weight, however, does add to the safety of the vehicle. see full Saturn VUE review
