2007 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

bad fuel economy, I guess thats why 2006-2008 models do have a trip computer but the trip computer was not able. 2009 to present all have same trip computer that provides MPG,distance to empty and somewhat of an improved gas mileage. see full Mazda CX-7 review
