Cadillac STS Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 320-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	16 city/21 highway. Buy it only if you can afford it with out complaining. see full Cadillac STS review
2005	4dr Sedan 320-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	This car is thirsty. I live in flat country and I get 15 mpg with 80% highway traffic. I only get 19 mpg on trips. It probably needs a 6th speed overdive for the highway. see full Cadillac STS review

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	99 Dodge Durango with 5.9 V8 got better fuel economy with same driving habits. Expected better with smaller V8 and 6 speed trans. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2008	4dr SUT 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Terrible. I've owned fullsize pickups and SUV so I know what to expect. I've never seen the average mpg display read over 15mpg for the six months I've owned it. The main reason I bought this was the combination AWD and 4WD transfer case, but it doesn't have a 2 wheel drive position like my Sierra did. Boy do I miss that, I averaged 20 mpg per tank. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2007	4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	highway mileage is very good, better than my lighter V6 Ranger; 21mpg on the highway @ 75mph on flat road. City, with the remote start in winter, with the AWD kicking in, and lead foot acceleration nets me 13mpg. A light foot can get 15mpg city see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
2002	4dr SUT 203-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	I think we all wish for 30 mpd-thats unrealistic when you have 10000+ lbs on the road when towing. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
