TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Hyundai Santa Cruz

Hyundai Santa Cruz Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	Even with the non-turbo engine the Hyundai Santa Cruz manages only 21 mpg city and either 26 mpg (FWD) or 27 mpg (AWD) highway in the EPA's testing. With the turbo engine and AWD it scores 19/27, not much better than the larger, 4,436-pound Honda Ridgeline's 18/24. My real-world driving suggests that the Hyundai's highway figure is optimistic. In driving on rural roads and highways with some heavy-footed acceleration but much steady-speed cruising the trip computer reported an even 20 mpg. In straight highway driving it reported about 23 mpg. The Ford Maverick might manage no better with its own turbocharged engine. But Ford will also offer its truck with a hybrid powertrain claimed to be good for 40 mpg in the EPA's city cycle. (Note: the hybrid will only be available with front-wheel-drive.) Hyundai could offer the Santa Cruz with a hybrid engine fairly easily; the closely related Tucson crossover is already offered in hybrid form. EPA mpg with standard AWD: 38. But will Hyundai do this? see full Hyundai Santa Cruz review

Honda Ridgeline Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	17-18 around town, 20+ on the highway on regular fuel. see full Honda Ridgeline review

Honda Ridgeline Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Like many have said, should get better gas mileage for its smaller size. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2009	4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Should get better mileage for a smaller truck. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	16-18 MPG from a Honda is dismal. I averaged 20 MPG in my 2004 4x4 Ranger super cab. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	My records show the published manufacturer figures are excellent but competators seem to be doing a bit better see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	It does not have a fuel advantage for being a unit body. I am getting only a 1 mpg combined city/highway economy improvment over my Dodge Ram 3500 Megacab Diesel 4x4(which has been sold to buy this Honda.) see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I typically get 18 mpg in suburban driving, and 22 mpg at a steady highway cruise. Not awful, but I would like better mileage from a 3.5L V-6. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	13-15mpg around town. 18mpg on the road. Knew this going in though and I still LOVE this truck! see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	The fuel economy is no better than other V6 trucks, and barely better than some V8 trucks. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2006	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I would like to be 20+ mpg but in this category the Ridgeline is a "clunker" at about 15-18 mpg. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2006	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	i expected better- i get 17-18 over all. with a 1500 4wd chevy w/5.3 liter i got the same or better with much more power. see full Honda Ridgeline review
