9-speed automatic FWD		 Fuel economy on a 2k highway speeds road trip in rain, snow, ice, and finally dry heat averaged over 26.7 mpg. City driving average was >18 mpg. *Note this computaion does not factor in any towing. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2008 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 To be expected but with the rising fuel prices anyone would like to see a little better gas milage see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.8L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 barely a difference between highway and city mileage I average about 19.2 in city and 21.5 on freeway see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I belive we could engineer better fuel economy, or put in a Diesel. Also, Four gears are lacking in a heavy, AWD Vehicle. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 On average I get great mileage in the city 17.5 to 19 mpg. But on the highway I only get 22 unless I stay below 65 then I get 27 see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I wish it were around 25 mpg avarage instead of 20. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Very heavy car. Gas mileage is fair. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2004 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 With todays fuel prices, the Pacifca is not for you if you city drive. I get around 14 to 16 in the city and on the highway I get around 19 to 21. Not the best out there on the road, but again weight and underpowered is the main cause. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

Mazda RX-8 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 One of the big downsides of the rotary is truly horrendous fuel economy. When the RX-8 first came out in the early 2000s, its mileage ratings of 16/22 city/highway mpg (stick shift) were just barely acceptable, but there days, with many crossovers hitting more than 30 mpg on the highway, those figures are truly atrocious, especially given respectable but certainly not neck-snapping power. Futhermore, it takes premium. If you're using the RX-8 as it commuter, fuel costs will add up quickly. In my predominantly around-town driving, I typically average between 16-17 mpg. My highest recorded average was 20 mpg on a highway trip at speeds around 75 mph. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2007 4dr Coupe 212-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The EPA numbers are way low compared with my real-world experience. The window sticker showed 18/25 and I have never seen less than 23 with my 40/60 city/highway commute. I think Mazda should develop a lean-burn economy cruise mode for this car. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2006 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 Lite bit to high consumption when I drive it in normal speed. On full woot its ok. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2005 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 Worst fuel economy in its class. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 Not that bad for what it is, but it seems to me that Mazda's Sky Active technology could help the city mileage. It just needs more R&D. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 At 16 m.p.g. on premium grade these days it could be cheaper to take a taxi. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 For a small engine displacement and a relatively light vehicle weight, the gas mileage is weak. I usualy get around 19mpg, and that does not realy matter if I am doing all city or all highway driving. I think the real problem is in the sixth gear it isnt much different than fifth gear so it does not provide good fuel economy. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 For a car with a 1.9 liter engine I would have expected better than 16-19 MPG. Get your foot into it and the numbers fall drastically. Otherwise I loved that car. It just got too small with a newborn and a big dog. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 I gets 20MPG no matter what I do. Running around 20. 1/2 highway 20. All the highway all day 25-26. I think that it could do better. see full Mazda RX-8 review
