2007 4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6

Very hard to beat in a 7-passenger vehicle of this size. With AWD, I average about 22mpg in mixed driving and have gotten 25mpg on an extended trip at hwy (70-75mph) speeds. see full Ford Freestyle review

Good for its size. Average about 11L/100km or 21 MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review

2006 4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6
CVT FWD
Superior to anything in its class for freeway MPG. Only turns over 1900 RPM @ 70 mph, 27+ MPG depending on conditions. Mixed fuel economy is not bad either, my wife drives 50/50 city/highway and we average just over 21 mpg. Very satisfied with MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review

For a car its size, 24+ mpg is pretty amazing. This can be contributed to the CVT transmission. see full Ford Freestyle review

with a 3.0 V6, 2WD gas mileage could be much better than 19, to 23 MPG, it was in the 2000 Olds Sil, which was longer and had alarger motor in it. see full Ford Freestyle review

Sure wish I could get 30 MPG in this thing instead of 20 (though I have gotten 26 on long trips as long as I don't let my wife drive) see full Honda Element review

This is my only major gripe with the vehicle... I seem to get a consistent 22mpg, whether it is city driving, long flat highways, or mountains. If I go out of my way to drive conservatively, or use a medium-to-heavy foot with the aid conditioner, the difference is completely negligible... it's pretty much always 22mpg. see full Honda Element review

It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review
