What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Quest

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

smart fortwo Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3 5-speed automated manual RWD	good mpg car for the price and simplicity of a lightweight car with only a gas engine. Even if you only get the EPA combined estimate of 36 it is good mpg and competes well in its class. But many smart drivers get much higher. My first 10k miles averaged 45 mpg, based on miles per gallon measured at each fill up, mix of city and freeway. Recently I had 48 mpg and 51 mpg tanks on my usual route. Check Fuelly.com for a realistic picture of mpg to expect. Low 40s mpg is most common. see full smart fortwo review

2009	2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3 5-speed automated manual RWD	fundamentally adequate, very predictable, no surprises larger fuel tank would still be nice see full smart fortwo review
2009	2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3 5-speed automated manual RWD	Depending on how I drive, it gets great mileage. High of 40.1, mixed city and interstate and an absolute low of 33.5 driving it like a kid in a go Kart. see full smart fortwo review
