Mazda Mazda2 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Combined city and highway always returns over 34mpg. However on strictly highway driving the mpg shoots up to above 38mpg. With a 11 gallon fuel tank this translates to well over 320 miles per tank of gas. see full Mazda Mazda2 review
2011	4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Between the manual transmission and the suspension, it's easy to drive the Mazda2 like a (tiny) racecar. Despite this and flooring it on every on ramp, I manage to get 30 MPG in mostly city driving. Highway trips net higher (35-38 MPG at 70-75 MPH), but a lot of uphill sections will drag the fuel economy down. Looking at fuelly.com, users are averaging 34 MPG. Not the best, but the Mazda2 achieves this with a much higher smiles-per-mile ratio than comparable B segment cars. I'm extremely satisfied with the gas mileage that I get, considering my driving style. see full Mazda Mazda2 review

Mazda Mazda2 Real Gas Mileage: Cons

2011	4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	See postive comments for the cons. Fuel economy is OK, but for a car of this size and engine, I would have expected 2 more mpg than the average 32 that we get around town. see full Mazda Mazda2 review

Nissan Quest Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	I was hoping for slightly better fuel economy, but for a 4500 lbs vehicle, I really shouldn't be complaining. In predominantly hilly suburban driving, I'm averaging a couple miles below the estimated city fuel economy number. On 100% hilly highway miles, I'm right about at or maybe 1 mpg above the estimated fuel economy. It would be nice to acheive better highway mpg, but I suppose that's the trade-off for having a torquey engine. You would think the CVT would improve things, and maybe in fact it is helping the poor fuel economy of the aging VQ engine design, but I also think the CVT transmission is a cost-cutting measure by Nissan. It would be nicer to have one of the 7 speed transmissions found in the Infiniti lineup. see full Nissan Quest review

2014	4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	Could be better, but then the van would have less power. Pick your poison. see full Nissan Quest review

2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	All vans have pitiful fuel economy. The Quest is about average for the class. see full Nissan Quest review
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Averaging ~20mpg. I wish any minivan could get 25+mpg fuel economy. see full Nissan Quest review
2004	4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Averages 17 mpg, never more than 23 Hwy. see full Nissan Quest review
