2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 175-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	SE vs. SXT. The SE 3.3 mpg is as good as other minivans and many cars, and better than the SXT 3.8 or 4.0. The 3.3 moves the fully loaded vehicle very easily. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It gets almost as much as my 2000 Windstar with 158K miles. I had hoped it would get better. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2005	4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	I tend to drive this thing hard, and on highway trips where I average 80 to 85 mph, the fuel economy is only around 17 or 18. Should be at least in the low 20s. Around town and with my wife driving it, fuel economy is around 20 to 21. see full Dodge Grand Caravan 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
2005	4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Only getting about 4-500 km per tank of gas 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
