Kia Sportage Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Better fuel economy than my BMW. see full Kia Sportage review
2009	4dr SUV 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If it achieves the posted estimates I will be happy. Too new to rate personally. see full Kia Sportage review

Kia Sportage Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Many people probably decided on a Kia, and specifically a Sportage over other makes and models because of the advertised fuel economy numbers. Since day one, this vehicle ALWAYS, I want to stress ALWAYS, underachieves advertised mpg numbers. Took 2 round trips that were 360 miles one way, ALL highway, and best mpg were 26.2. That is 6 mpg LESS than advertised, and even with new EPA ratings, still 4 less. When driving a combination of 1/2 highway, 1/2 suburbs, attain 21-23 mpg which is less than "combined" mpg rating. Haven't driven an entire tank of city driving, but after measuring MPG for mostly suburb driving, get 17-19 mpg which is 3-5 mpg less than advertised city rating. Horrible. see full Kia Sportage review

Dodge Journey Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2010	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The gas mileage is great for a 7 passenger SUV. On the highway at 60 mph you can see 25-28 mpg. City wise we see 18-19. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Averaged about 24-26 MPG in the 10 days that we rented it. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD	It can be economical at average speeds. Its still good when being pushed on a journey. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very Surprising. 20.6 average and 25.5hwy @ 75mph see full Dodge Journey review

Dodge Journey Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2016	4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	16 /24 in the AWD V6, 19 overall per the EPA. The city number is quite poor, though the highway number is competitive. We don't put all that many miles on our cars so it was something that we could more easily overlook, but if you've got a fairly long commute that isn't mostly on the highway, this might be a deal breaker. see full Dodge Journey review
2012	4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The biggest disappointment for the car is the lower fuel economy. On the highway, it gets right around 30, but in town driving suddenly drops to under 20. That's a big difference, and since it is primarily used around town (less than 15% highway) we're paying a bit more in fuel costs. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	so far I have been getting about 17 mpg in the city. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	it does not get anywhere close to what Dodge claims, even when my husband drives it. see full Dodge Journey review
2009	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	no better than the Town and Country van, with far less room. see full Dodge Journey review
