Ford Taurus X Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 For an AWD beast, 25.6 miles per US gallon on the highway (6 hr run) into ski country, on snow tires, is pretty darned good at 70 mph. see full Ford Taurus X review
Ford Taurus X Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic AWD		 In town we regularly got 15-16 mpg, and we rarely cracked 22 mpg on the highway. This was consistent with the 15/22 EPA ratings. see full Ford Taurus X review

Ford Escort / ZX2 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 2dr Coupe 130-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Very good. When I drive it in my mostly rural neighborhood, I get 25-27 MPG when not in winter. I know my son has done better on long trips. see full Ford Escort / ZX2 review
