What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford Taurus

Ford Taurus Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	With 28 to 30 mpg on the highway with a vacation load of luggage, food and other equipment she takes to the road with ease and comfort I never had in any car I previously owned. Mileage is close to the intermediate size Buick I used to drive but this car is much more comfortable and worth the mileage difference. see full Ford Taurus review

Ford Taurus Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	My average MPG is about 24 right now. It does better on the highway and not as well around town. I do not drive it hard. I am using (per Ford) Regular 87 in it and it seems fine. I ran one tank of 93 Premium and did not notice a difference in performance or mileage. see full Ford Taurus review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	It's got a 20 gallon tank and I basically never see 400 miles on the trip counter. 20mpg in mixed use (almost 40 mile round trip commute) has been something to get used to after living with a 4-cylinderMazda 6. In addition, when I hit 1/4 tank on the gas gauge, the range computer plummets to the point that I start planning a fuel stop within 50 miles of the 1/4 tank mark. I don't know if this is unique to my car or not. see full Ford Taurus review
2005	4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Only getting about 4-500 km per tank of gas see full Ford Taurus review
2002	4dr Wagon 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	22 or 23 MPG at best on the highway is mediocre but not terrible given the size and 24V V6. see full Ford Taurus review

2010	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The gas mileage is great for a 7 passenger SUV. On the highway at 60 mph you can see 25-28 mpg. City wise we see 18-19. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Averaged about 24-26 MPG in the 10 days that we rented it. see full Dodge Journey review

2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very Surprising. 20.6 average and 25.5hwy @ 75mph see full Dodge Journey review

Dodge Journey Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2016	4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	16 /24 in the AWD V6, 19 overall per the EPA. The city number is quite poor, though the highway number is competitive. We don't put all that many miles on our cars so it was something that we could more easily overlook, but if you've got a fairly long commute that isn't mostly on the highway, this might be a deal breaker. see full Dodge Journey review
2012	4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The biggest disappointment for the car is the lower fuel economy. On the highway, it gets right around 30, but in town driving suddenly drops to under 20. That's a big difference, and since it is primarily used around town (less than 15% highway) we're paying a bit more in fuel costs. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	so far I have been getting about 17 mpg in the city. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	it does not get anywhere close to what Dodge claims, even when my husband drives it. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	no better than the Town and Country van, with far less room. see full Dodge Journey review
