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

Volkswagen Touareg Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 225hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Diesel makes the extra weight of an SUV tolerable. In 4 months of use I've been getting high teens around town and 29 cruising on the highway at 70-75. Slowing down to 60-65 puts mpg just over 30. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2011	4dr SUV turbocharged 225hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Like any diesel, it is always above EPA rating. No complaints at all. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2011	4dr SUV supercharged 380hp 3.0L V6 Hybrid 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD	GREAT Economy. It is a game to see how high I can get up to. Last evening in a 40 minute local drive 31 mpg see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 310hp 4.9L V10 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	All that diesel power and I get 25 mpg going 80 mph on the highway. see full Volkswagen Touareg review

Volkswagen Touareg Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	I do not have a heavy foot and the V6 gas version gets only about 19-21 on HWY at 60 MPH opposed to 24-27 with a X5. I drove 700 mi (interstate) and averaged only 19 @ 70 mph. Not good! see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2008	4dr SUV 350-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	Very poor. The V6 gets barely 18 and the V8 gets 17mpg of PREMIUM. But then again you buys knowing, still disappointing. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2006	4dr SUV 310-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	This car gets 14.7 city and 17.5 HWY. On Premium Fuel. But we pay the price for the speed, comfort, and security of the Touareg. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2004	4dr SUV 310-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	14-16 mpg light loads around town; 6-9 when towing. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2004	4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	14-15 mpg in todays market is not very good for an SUV with a V6. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
