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

2013	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	It takes a while for the engine & drivetrain to break in, but when they do you will start to see some very impressive numbers on the ODO. I'm at ~2600 miles right now and averaging 29-30 mpg between 50% open freeway cruising, 25% freeway traffic, 25% city driving. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

2004	4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	I get 23-26mpg around town, 28-30 highway, which I consider very very good for an AWD car. I get same fuel economy as many non AWD cars. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 CVT AWD	The fuel economy isn't as high expected. I get about 28 mpg. I should probably stop driving like I stole it when the kids are out of the car. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2010	4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Not really dislike, I didnt expect civic like mpg. Around town mileage suffers, but on the highways the car cruises quite easily. You can expect ~25mpg on average combined (with no led food). Impressive for the hp and AWD. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2010	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Really crappy, especially for a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. 22 MPG average. 18 city, 27 highway is what I got. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2009	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	low fuel economy because of AWD components see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

2008	4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Pathetic for a compact sedan at <28 mpg highway. The AWD system must be a huge fuel sink. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2008	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For such a small car with NA 170hp engine the economy is rather poor ~24mpg. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	For a car of that size, the fuel economy is dismal. I get about 19 in the city, which is where most of my driving is done. That is marginally better than any SUV. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
