What IS there to like about 16 mpg using $3.30/gal premium fuel? see full Land Rover Discovery review
2000 4dr SUV 188-horsepower 4.0L V8
4-speed automatic AWD w/low range
Well its terrible, I get 11-13miles, maybe a little more on the highway with cruise control and minimal braking. Absolutely terrible. Worse than a hummer. Better at offroading than a hummer though! see full Land Rover Discovery review

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2007 4dr Sedan, ext. 382-horsepower 5.5L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Since my driving is about 50-50 city and highway, I average about 20-21 mpg, using premium fuel. All highway is 29-30mpg and all city is 14-15mpg. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review
2007 0 While on long trips at 70-80mph I average 32mpg around town it never goes better than 24mpg. Easy on the pedal sure shows results but fully loaded the thing shifts like a two door sports. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review
