What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Chrysler Town & Country

Chrysler Town & Country Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Fuel economy averages around 20 mpg for us, which is mostly mixed driving. Not bad for such a large vehicle, that has impressive power. The highway mileage is impressive. In good weather, with the cruise set on 70, it gets about 30 mpg. Really impressive for such a big vehicle. Of course different terrain and weather conditions can affect that a lot. Winter highway mileage, more like 24 mpg. Overall I am impressed with the combination of power and fuel economy. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Many of our trips, we average between 23 and 25 MPH. Its not bad for four to six people plus a dog and luggage. We could not fit all our stuff into two of most vehicles. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	It gets 24 to 25 MPG at 70+ on the freeway and near 20 in short trip and city driving. Very good mileage for a 7 pass van. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	there is nothing wrong with this car great fuel economy even when towing no major issues as long as you keep up with regular maintenance see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2006	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Very poor, only 13 to 14 mpg city. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2010	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	WOW all I can say is on the highway I am lucky to see 18 mpg when we did the calculations and checked it five times we come to an avrage of about 13 mpg see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	2008 4.0 liter had good acceleration bu poorer fuel economy than Sienna see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	1) Mileage is what the EPA sticker states. However, thought I would be able to get better than stated in real life conditions. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I get less fuel economy than 2006 model I had. It is a heavier vehicle and not as aerodynamic. Without the 6 speed it might be less. 16 city 22 highway. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	would like to get 20+ city and 27 - 30+ country see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2003	4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Very poor fuel economy when it comes to city driving. Highway driving fuel economy is acceptable for 2003 model vehicles of this type. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the BMW X3

BMW X3 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	While the boosted four has a clear performance advantage, the swap was motivated primarily by the push for better fuel economy. EPA ratings are 21 mpg city, 28 highway, vs. the 2012 six's 19/25. An Audi Q5 comes close, 20/28, but with 211 horsepower isn't as strong. Despite weighing about 400 pounds less than the X3's 4,112, a Ford Escape with a similarly spec'd engine does no better. A Mercedes GLK350? 19/24. The Volvo is even worse. Compared to cars, the X3 doesn't fare as well. The roomier, nearly as heavy 528i rates 22/33. The crossover's larger frontal area and higher ground clearance take their toll as speed climbs. In our real-world sub-freezing suburban driving, the trip computer usually reported about 21 once the engine was warmed up, matching the EPA rating and quite good for a powerful, two-ton, all-wheel-drive vehicle. Engage an aggressive Eco Pro mode for a Prius-like throttle response and ultra-low rpm shifts, and mid-20s are easily achievable while high 20s are possible. I even observed 32 over one short trip where the lights were in my favor. But the cars behind you won't be happy. Conversely, enjoy the turbo at every opportunity and fuel economy will fall into the teens. A defeatable standard auto start/stop system operates a little more smoothly than in last year's 3-Series, but not as smoothly as it ought to. see full BMW X3 review

2007	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	We get 22.5 mpg consistently in overall averaging and 26 to 27 on open road trips. see full BMW X3 review

BMW X3 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Have noticed as low as 10 mpg in start and stop city driving. Average for daily driving is 14 mpg. It uses premium fuel so driving this car is already very expensive. see full BMW X3 review
2006	4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	City driving fuel economy is not bad for an SUV. I average around 16MPG battling heavy traffic and my need for �enjoying using the accelerator�. Highway mileage is not so great. Cruising at 70-80MPH returns around 22MPG. see full BMW X3 review
