2011 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The window sticker said it would get 29 mpg on the highway. I did a 500 mile trip and averaged 25 mpg. On my last 5 vehicles I averaged 2 to 3 mpg more than the window sticker when on the highway. Something is wrong with this picture. see full Kia Sorento review
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Not been brave enough to calculate fuel economy yet, but my Audi A6 1.9tdi used to return 33mpg whilst towing. I doubt the Sorento will get near that even solo! see full Kia Sorento review
2005 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6

Nissan Z Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 I recommend changing your oil as soon as you get the car with basic 5w30 oil. Then @ 1200 miles use the nissan ester oil. @ 5000 miles switch again to a premium synthetic. Redline, Royal purple & amsoil. Engine will run supersmooth with 23mpg avg. see full Nissan Z review
2011 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 Reasonable fuel economy considering the 332 hp and 270 ft lbs of torque available. see full Nissan Z review
2007 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 If I shift between 2k to 2.5k, I get about 22mpg city and 27 mpg hwy. If I shift at 4.5k rpm (which I mostly do) I get about 16 mpg city and 20 mpg hwy. see full Nissan Z review
2007 2dr Convertible 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Very Good and exactly as projected with pump fuel 93. Higher octane race fuel affords better mileage ,as with any vehicle proper maintenence ensuring air filters are clean . I change my oil every 3-5 000 miles and I love this car see full Nissan Z review

2007 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 It was worse than my 303 hp 5.3L V8 Grand Prix, and though it was faster off the line (by about .3 seconds), the Grand Prix GXP was much faster in highway gears. So better MPG and more juice at highway speeds made the GP a better choice for me. see full Nissan Z review

5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 it is a sports car see full Nissan Z review
2004 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 This car's fuel economy shows how much the world has moved forward with regards to fuel management. My commute is pretty much 50/50 city/highway, and I get 19-22 MPG on average depending on weather and A/C usage. My best tanks were in the 26-27 MPG range on those long trips to NY/FL. For reference, a 335i makes more power and probably averages about 22-24 MPG in mixed driving and can get over 30 MPG no problem on the highway. When you drive ~25000 miles a year that definitely adds up. see full Nissan Z review
