What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Honda Element

Honda Element Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2004	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Wish it got better fuel economy, but what do you expect for a brick? see full Honda Element review
2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	I always get exactly 20 mpg, which seams low 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

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Kia Sedona

Kia Sedona Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2008	Most Kia Sedonas earn EPA ratings of 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway. This is just a bit worse than the Sienna's 18/25, but well below the Odyssey's 19/28, at least on the highway. But the SX Limited, with more heft and different tires, rates only 17/22, the lowest of any current minivan. In my real-world sub-freezing driving the trip computer reported averages between 16 and 21 in the suburbs (depending on the number of stops, amount of traffic, whether the engine was already warmed up, etc.) and about 25 on the highway. The Sienna managed about the same--but with all-wheel-drive. A front-wheel-drive Toyota should do a little better. In somewhat warmer weather, the Odyssey managed as high as 25 on my standard home-to-school run. see full Kia Sedona review

2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 250-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	18mpg in the city - typical for minivans but not good see full Kia Sedona review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 250-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Er, economy is not the right word to use here. It gulps fuel, even when driven fairly carefully. see full Kia Sedona review
2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Other mini-van that we considered had a better fuel economy rating [but really not by much]. see full Kia Sedona review
2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The 2006 Sedona gets about 1-2 MPG less in real life MPG reports, compared to its Toyota and Honda competition see full Kia Sedona review
2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Much lower than EPA advertised. see full Kia Sedona review
