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

Nissan Versa Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	0	Trip computer indicated 36 MPG in mixed urban and highway driving. Appears to be accurate based on how much gas I put in it at the end of the rental period. The urban driving also had idling time so was not fuel economy friendly. see full Nissan Versa review
2013	4dr Sedan 109-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I did a lot of start and stop driving this summer at a camp, constantly reving up the engine to slowly drive over terrible speed bumps in the road. �When I left Georgia, my average MPG was 31.3. �When I arrived back in CA, after going 63 MPH (give or take 2) the whole way, my average MPG was up to 32.7. see full Nissan Versa review
2012	4dr Sedan 109-horsepower 1.6L I4 CVT FWD	Better than EPA estimates. Averaging 38 mpg combined - 42 mpg + on hwy. see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Sedan 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	34 mpg on long (3200 mile) road trip see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great mileage for this car. I am consistently getting 34+ mpg on 80% highway driving. see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Averaging 30-31 miles per gallon, mostly highway miles, lowest average was 29.12 mpg. At around 2.50 a gallon, it takes me less than $30 to fill up. Range gives for about 360 or so miles. see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I've never measured it, but the mileage seems to be very good. see full Nissan Versa review
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	just got 44 miles per gallon on a trip with cruise control set at 65mph. I could not believe it.. This was all on flat terrain. see full Nissan Versa review
2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Good gas mileage, especially for the good amount of room in the front and back seats. Also,lots of cars with good mileage have poor safety ratings due to their lack of mass. The Versa has the best safety rating of the small cars, and sits up higher. see full Nissan Versa review
2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	i loved that when i did my 1000KM Brisbane to Sydney trip i only had to fill up 1 and a half times see full Nissan Versa review

Nissan Versa Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	Not as good as sticker read, 33 HWY is very hard to come by unless you drive every where 50 mph. see full Nissan Versa review
2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Anecdotally I have heard that the Versa gets significantly worse mileage than it is supposed to get (which is worse than the Fit to start with), whereas I get better mileage with my Fit than it is rated for. see full Nissan Versa review
2007	4dr Sedan 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	less than Fit see full Nissan Versa review
2007	4dr Sedan 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	poor economy for sacrifice of space, did not get promised fuel economy by 25% see full Nissan Versa review
2007	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	In a recent all highway drive over 200 miles each way I was lucky to 33 MPG (using imperial gallons) at 120 kilometres/hour. see full Nissan Versa review
2007	4dr Sedan 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	The EPA revised the fuel economy downward soon after I purchased the car, my fuel economy is very unimpressive despite careful, moderate driving habits. see full Nissan Versa 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
