Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2006	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	For a teenager that does lots of driving for parttime job and to school, needed a vehicel that was large enough to be safe in traffic, yet give good gas mileage. see full Honda Element review

Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	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
2005	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	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
2004	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	20 mpg city, 24 mpg hiway, low for such a small, lightweight car. see full Honda Element review

2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	It stinks! The EX is a bit heavy which drags the MPG to 21/25. see full Honda Element review
