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

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

Kia Sorento Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	0	I average about 22-25 miles/gallon, but only if I use a fuel addative every 5,000 miles. If not I get at best about 21miles/gallon. see full Kia Sorento review
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Average fuel economy at 22.5 MPG is lower than expected but still not bad. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	For a rather large crossover the fuel economy is absolutely amazing, check it out, it speaks for itself, and in the frist month we are getting exactly the rated efficiency, very pleased. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	30% better than my previous vehicle see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Always want more MPG but it is at least 25% better than my 2006 Ford Explorer. After 15K miles of highway, city and occasionally pulling a 5'x10' trailer, I'm averaging exactly 20.9 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I average 22 mpg in mosty city driving. Not bad for its size and weight. see full Kia Sorento review
2007	4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	For a bulky and powerful SUV, it achieves a greater gas mileage than expected. see full Kia Sorento review

Kia Sorento Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Horrible fuel especially in stop and go traffic. I drive approximately 30 miles per day and within a week the take is nearly empty. see full Kia Sorento review
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I expected the fuel economy to be somewhat better than 22.5 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	my commute is very short and I am averaging 16mpg despite the 'eco'light being on, which sucks see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	About 20 to 25% less than EPA estimates see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The window sticker said it would get 29 mpg on the highway. I did a 500 mile trip and averaged 25 mpg. On my last 5 vehicles I averaged 2 to 3 mpg more than the window sticker when on the highway. Something is wrong with this picture. see full Kia Sorento review
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not been brave enough to calculate fuel economy yet, but my Audi A6 1.9tdi used to return 33mpg whilst towing. I doubt the Sorento will get near that even solo! see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Getting 14-15 MPG out of a V6. Wish it were closer to 20 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Put simply "It sucks" see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not great but we knew that going in. I try to drive as economically as possible and can usually squeeze 18-19 mpg in mixed driving (70%/30% split between highway and local). see full Kia Sorento review
2003	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic AWD w/low range	15MPG - not good see full Kia Sorento review
