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

2014	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Mazda5 doesn't get great milage. But it's better than other minivans and most CUVs. Of the alternatives I shopped, the Mazda was the most frugal on gas. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Impressive considering all this vehicle can do (carry six, or a bunch of stuff). Driven with some restraint (60-65), I can average 30+ mpg on my weekly commute. With a microvan that can seat six. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2009	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Better than our previous mini-van, mostly because of size. We drive it harder, so some of that advantage is lost :) see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2008	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Avg under 10L/100km one of buying criteria. good on hwy and not as bad as full sized van in city. Good for long summer road trips. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2014	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If only. If only Skyactiv came out during the 5's redesign. While gas usage is better than the competition, it's far worse than it could be. Just popping in Mazda's latest engine and tranmission combo would surely give several more mpg. Just a 10% improvement would make me happier. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It uses twice as much fuel as a Prius. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	vehicle is heavy for its size so the fuel economy is not that great. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	My 4 speed automatic yields about 10.5 L/100 km on 50/50 highway and city driving with a conscious effort to stick to the speed limit and driving as if I had an egg under my right foot. Eh, I thought it would AT LEAST be under 10. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
