2003	4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	A turbo sedan that got me 35mpg all-highway, and gets 28+ in mixed driving. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great fuel economy my first tank was 28mpg, my second one with my cold air intake installed got it over 30! see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The car does get excellent fuel economy- IF you can keep your foot out of it. I rarely succeed in that endeavor- the car is just too much fun to drive, the embodiment of "driving a slow car, fast." see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great fuel efficiency but still retains a lot of pep and zip. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not too bad, the roof rack hurts it a bit. gets a solid 22-25 driving 70-75 on highway. Does get 30mpg at 60 mph, but that speed will get you killed on California interstates. see full Mazda Protege review

2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I average right around 30mpg with mixed driving, a little highway-biased. I've been satisfied with the overall gas mileage. see full Mazda Protege review

Mazda Protege Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Suburban fuel economy is acceptable, at nearly 30 mpg. But on the highway, with the engine spinning well over 3,000 rpm, fuel economy also struggles to crack 30. Many much larger, much more powerful cars achieve better highway fuel economy. Some owners have fitted the fifth gear from the related transmission in the Mazda6 to get more of an overdrive. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	not good for a small 4 cyl. i have had better economy on the same roads with bigger and simmilar cars see full Mazda Protege review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	More than reasonable for a 5000 lb vehicle. Benefits of aero design ( for an SUV ) and six speed transmission both contribute. see full Buick Enclave review

2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	for an 8 passenger vehicle that can tow 4,500 pounds. I cannot complain about 19.3 mpg city and 24.7 mpg highway. see full Buick Enclave review

Buick Enclave Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	0	The fuel economy is abysmal and as far as I know, Buick STILL doesn't offer a hybrid option. The best mileage I've been able to get on long road trips with mostly highway driving is 22-23 mpg. City driving, however, stubbornly stays at 14-15 mpg, no matter what I do! :( see full Buick Enclave review
2009	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Well under (15-20%) below the EPA ratings, though the engine is STILL brand new (<400 miles total). see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	In town much less than advertised. O.K. (18-19) on freeway. see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	This is the one thing that is a weak point. at 12-16 MPG, this car could use a larger and more efficient engine. Had GM not folded, there was talks of a hybrid version (which still may come out as a Caddy) which we would definitely buy without hesitation. see full Buick Enclave review

2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Car is still in break-in period, but not seeing anything close to advertised mileage. see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Hey, at $4.00/gallon getting only 22 mpg hurts. We take the econo-car most of the time. see full Buick Enclave review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It actually gets great mileage for its size and weight, but hey, its not a Prius. see full Buick Enclave review
