2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Upper 20's on highway and mid-20's in suburbia from a vehicle that weighs 5K lbs. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Other luxury cars/SUVs require premium gas. Diesel could be same or even cheaper than regular gas and with immense torque and a somewhat light foot I get almost 25Mpg see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	5000 lbs vehicle. Gets 32 mpg on highway up to 75 mph, faster than that mpg drops. 23 to 24 mpg around town see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review

2007	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Have a V8, so I should have expected, but mpg is averaging about 16 around town. With the current gas prices, I dread going to the pump. $90 to fill up the huge tank. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class 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

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
