Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 315-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	I have the 1500 ext cab 2wd model that includes the 5.3 l v-8 with management. The truck gets 26 mpg on the highway! The average for the truck with over 6000 miles city/highway is now 20.6! see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2007	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 315-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	For full size truck with V8 I get 17-18 mpg in mixed driving. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review

2006	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 295-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	With the specific gears I have in my truck, I get 20+ MPG on the highway...and I have a crew cab truck. City mileage is right in-line with the EPA of 14, but it is no worse than the others. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2006	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 295-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	Good for a pickup truck. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
2006	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 295-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	The 5.3L gets an impressive 20mpg on the freeway and with a tonneau, about 21. Mixed driving is about 15-17mpg and purely city driving nets between 14-16mpg. Towing economy is not bad at about 12-13mpg with a light load and 9-11mpg with a heavy load. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review

Ford Taurus Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	My average MPG is about 24 right now. It does better on the highway and not as well around town. I do not drive it hard. I am using (per Ford) Regular 87 in it and it seems fine. I ran one tank of 93 Premium and did not notice a difference in performance or mileage. see full Ford Taurus review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	It's got a 20 gallon tank and I basically never see 400 miles on the trip counter. 20mpg in mixed use (almost 40 mile round trip commute) has been something to get used to after living with a 4-cylinderMazda 6. In addition, when I hit 1/4 tank on the gas gauge, the range computer plummets to the point that I start planning a fuel stop within 50 miles of the 1/4 tank mark. I don't know if this is unique to my car or not. see full Ford Taurus review

2002	4dr Wagon 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	22 or 23 MPG at best on the highway is mediocre but not terrible given the size and 24V V6. see full Ford Taurus review
