Jeep Renegade Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	Given the Jeep Renegade's far-from-aero shape and relatively large, 2.4-liter engine, it should come as little surprise that, even with a nine-speed automatic transmission, its EPA ratings of 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway are significantly lower than those for most competitors. The Cherokee, though 600 pounds heavier, earns the same ratings with the same power train. Opt for a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine and the six-speed manual it is paired with, and the Renegade's ratings improve to 24/31 (with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive). The 2.4 with front-wheel drive manages 22/31. In comparison, when fitted with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive the Chevrolet Trax achieves 24/31, the HR-V 27/32. and the Subaru Crosstrek 26/34. In my real-world suburban driving the Renegade's trip computer reported averages ranging from 19 to 25 mpg, and usually towards the lower end of this range. The Trax's trip computer on the same roads (but with warmer temps) reported averages between 30 and 40, and most often around 36-37. The Trax did not have all-wheel drive, but this shouldn't explain more than two-to-three mpg. The HR-V and CX-3, tested with all-wheel drive, tended to average about 35 and 33, respectively. The Renegade isn't in the same league. Some much larger SUVs have been better. see full Jeep Renegade review

Toyota FJ Cruiser Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I average 11.5l/100 km almost all the time, about two thirds distance on highway. Uses more petrol than a small car, but reasonable. My previous Audi A3 2.0T could run in circles around an FJ, but it couldn't take me on dirt roads etc. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review

2008	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Any vehicle in this class is by no means a fuel sipper, the FJ averaged between 15 and 19 mpg. In 4wd during winter snowstorms it got about 13mpg. Not bad compared to some, but I grew to dislike this. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
