2010	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 390-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	The milleage was terrible , my friend made the same trip as I did with a similar equiped Ford 5.4 L , 4x4 and used 30 % less gas. I rented this truck for a 2 week hunting trip to test it befor buying a new one. I will buy another Ford or GMC. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2008	4dr Crew Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	That hemi drinks fuel... we live at 55-60 while towing and 10mpg is all we hope for... we get that on the flats with no headwind. If you get a hill with a headwind you are looking at 4mpg! Buyer beware! fuel is approaching 5 bucks! see full Dodge Ram 1500 review

2003	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	Not much I don't like about this truck, but MPG with a Hemi combined with heavy loads means 12-13 mpg consistently. Not sure newer trucks would do any better with my 1000 lb load in the back. Highway mileage is only 16-17 at best. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
2003	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 240-horsepower 4.7L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I should have bought the Hemi 5.7L engine. The 4.7 is awful...gutless and I get about 13 mpg in a rural setting and can get about 15 in the highway. I drive very conservatively. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review

2008	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	Great for a small SUV, much better than my old F150 see full Ford Escape review
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	not too bad for a big 6 cyl engine see full Ford Escape review
2007	4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD	Great in city, good on highway, runs in electrical mode occasionally which is fun. For a 4WD non aerodynamic mini-truck the economy is stellar. see full Ford Escape review

Ford Escape Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV turbocharged 178hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Slightly less fuel mileage than I would have expected from the 1.6 turbo. Currently averaging about 24 in mixed driving. And I am not a lead foot with this car. see full Ford Escape review
2012	4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy suffers thanks to the need to downshift for even smaller hills and the vehicle's brick-like aerodynamic profile. EPA ratings are 20/28, real-world is closer to 24. see full Ford Escape review
2008	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Surprised by how bad the fuel economy is so far (but have only had a month)... less than 15 mpg for my driving, mostly back and forth to work, 1.5 miles in a small town... but I can live with it because I really love this car. see full Ford Escape review
2006	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	16-18 MPG in town, old V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee was not much worse. Should get more mileage out of a six. see full Ford Escape review
2006	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Knew it was not going to be great with V6. After several fillups averages around 19.4 mile per gal. see full Ford Escape review
2005	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	Perhaps the 6 speed automatics are better, but the 4 speeds just suck! Not good at all, in my humble opinion, for a vehicle this size. see full Ford Escape review
2002	4dr SUV 201-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	I averaged about 14 city and 17.5 on trips, which for a vehicle this size is terrible. see full Ford Escape review
