What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Chevrolet Impala

Chevrolet Impala Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	I got 468 miles on a tank of gas from Greenville TN to Charleston SC then to Myrtle Beach. Very impressed see full Chevrolet Impala review
2011	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	So far so good with E10 Fuel I am getting an average of 27 and I only have 500 miles on it so far. I now have over 3000 miles and just got back from a long trip 1/2 of it hilly. I set the cruise on 67 and let it go averaged over 32mpg by the end of trip see full Chevrolet Impala review
2009	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Averaging 25.0 mpg in mixed driving, very good for the size of the vehicle and the the fact that it is a V6. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Fuel Economy beats smaller sized cars, let alone others in the same class. 30mpg is not hard to attain. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Its a full size car that gives good performance and still gets 30 MPG on the highway. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	If driven carefully, 22-30 MPG around town and 33-36 MPG highway. If you are a sloppy driver, make that 18-20 and 25 MPG. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Mileage averages 23-24 around town and close to 30 on road trips which is quite good considering engine size and power. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2007	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	15 in town. 30 highway see full Chevrolet Impala review
2007	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Regular gas 28 city 33 Highway. E-85 25 city 28 highway. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2007	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Great with the 3.5LV6. I get about 23-25 City and 36-38 Hwy. see full Chevrolet Impala review

2007	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Only get about 25 mpg on interstate with the 3.9 Active fuel management is a gimmick in my opinion and older GM cars with a V6 I have driven have been better with fuel economy than the 3.9. see full Chevrolet Impala review

2008	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 154-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed manual RWD	Averaging 22mpg for th full 57,000 miles I have driven. Winter mileage is less and summer is more Using winter snow and ice tires in winter months. Hwy tires in summer months. see full Nissan Frontier review
2008	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 154-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed manual RWD	The best so far has been 27 mpg. The worst 19mpg. Average for over 6,000 miles of mostly highway driving has been 23 mpg. At 17,800 miles on odometer the milage is down to 22 mpg. I added 4 new snow tires that have reduced mpg. see full Nissan Frontier review

Nissan Frontier Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	I keep a detailed log of fuel economy. I commute on hour each way, every day. 50% of the time is spent at 65 mph on the highway, and the remainder between 50 and 60 on 2-lane country roads. Only a few stops in between. Very consistently getting 21.5 to 22.3 mpg. I rarely rev it above 4000 RPM - only when passing someone. That happens maybe once or twice per tank. I am underwhelmed by the fuel economy. Full-sized trucks with larger, stronger V8s get similar economy. see full Nissan Frontier review
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	This 2011 Frontier Crew Cab at 4,000 miles is averaging 19-21 hwy, 16-19 city depending on weather and traffic conditions. see full Nissan Frontier review
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Well it has a 4.0L V6, so I guess I should have expected it. It does have nice power though. see full Nissan Frontier review
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Well, the EPA ratings are 15 city 20 Highway. The salesman I dealt with says it is easy to get 20 Highway, and I am not an aggressive driver. The V6 is geared low enough that it does 1800 rpm at 60MPH, so my light foot will help here. We will see ! see full Nissan Frontier review
2009	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Even though it is a powerful V6, economy was on par with much more powerful V8 engines. see full Nissan Frontier review
2006	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 265-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I cant complain about the gas mileage it was around 22mpg when new but with a lift and tires I have sucked some of that away see full Nissan Frontier review
2006	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 265-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Fuel Economy is terrible with the V6. Just Awful see full Nissan Frontier review
2005	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 265-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Overrated to what is identified. I know it is a truck but the mileage is far from what Nissan claims. see full Nissan Frontier review
2004	2dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	Average 17/21 during the summer. A friends 96 F-150 (also 4x4) gets 16/20 with a V-8. Expected much better mileage from a small truck. see full Nissan Frontier review
