What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Mercedes-Benz R-Class

Mercedes-Benz R-Class Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Excellent. We average 27 on the highway travelling at 70+mph see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2009	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Pleasantly surprised by first tankful. 16.2 mpg in the city. Mostly used "comfort" setting which starts out in 2nd gear and shifts early. With this nonaggressive profile, city driving economy is improved. Premium gives better gas mileage than regular (about 5% on comparable tankfuls). On Comfort setting, no difference in performance is noted. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2008	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	It easily gets to 20 mpg on highway. About 18 on mixed driving see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Excellent fuel economy with the diesel, especially when driven gently. Also amazing power at the same time see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	15mpg city....25 mpg highway....combined is around 17-18 mpg. Not bad considering how heavy this car is. Of course i am very light to the pedal trying to keep my mpg high. Gas is too expensive nowadays so if i don't need to be fast, i am keeping it steady. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Much better than expected for a very large and long vehicle. Close to 25MPG on longer trips. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Pretty poor for a 3.5L. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	F-E is poor because of the weight to power ratio. The vehicle is heavy. With the available power, it is easy to drive faster and to maneuver through slower traffic. Frequent acceleration results in lower gas mileage. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I would probably choose a diesel next time for efficiency reasons - but the additional premium fuel required in the V6 is negligible once the car is paid for....soon now. Very lively engine too. I foresee a hybrid R class type vehicle after 2011... see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	only 17 mpg highway see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

2008	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	Great for a small SUV, much better than my old F150 see full Ford Escape review
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	not too bad for a big 6 cyl engine see full Ford Escape review
2007	4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD	Great in city, good on highway, runs in electrical mode occasionally which is fun. For a 4WD non aerodynamic mini-truck the economy is stellar. see full Ford Escape review

Ford Escape Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV turbocharged 178hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Slightly less fuel mileage than I would have expected from the 1.6 turbo. Currently averaging about 24 in mixed driving. And I am not a lead foot with this car. see full Ford Escape review
2012	4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy suffers thanks to the need to downshift for even smaller hills and the vehicle's brick-like aerodynamic profile. EPA ratings are 20/28, real-world is closer to 24. see full Ford Escape review
2008	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Surprised by how bad the fuel economy is so far (but have only had a month)... less than 15 mpg for my driving, mostly back and forth to work, 1.5 miles in a small town... but I can live with it because I really love this car. see full Ford Escape review
2006	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	16-18 MPG in town, old V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee was not much worse. Should get more mileage out of a six. see full Ford Escape review
2006	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Knew it was not going to be great with V6. After several fillups averages around 19.4 mile per gal. see full Ford Escape review
2005	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	Perhaps the 6 speed automatics are better, but the 4 speeds just suck! Not good at all, in my humble opinion, for a vehicle this size. see full Ford Escape review
2002	4dr SUV 201-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	I averaged about 14 city and 17.5 on trips, which for a vehicle this size is terrible. see full Ford Escape review
