2006	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Good for a speedy V6 and a huge car. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review
2005	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Thus far, I have averaged 23 and 26 mpg, both times have had roughly a 70 mile highway trip out of 200 miles. Overall, I find this to be acceptable. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review
2002	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	HORRIBLE. 12-16mpg combined with both city and driving. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review
2002	4dr Sedan supercharged 240hp 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	BEFORE the switch to ethanol-mixed fuel, my supercharged V6 averaged 22mpg, getting 19 city and a staggering 34 highway. If you do long highway miles and want more comfort than any econo-box can offer, this is the car for you! see full Pontiac Grand Prix review

Pontiac Grand Prix Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great V8 exhaust note and instant acceleration comes at the cost of about 19 mpg in combined driving, versus 25 with my new car. That is a 30% increase. (the new car is 600 pounds lighter though...) see full Pontiac Grand Prix review
2005	4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	17-19 mpg in the city. 25 If I drive on the intersate. 30 is possible at 60mph. Most of my driving is in the city. The beautiful v8 makes it impossible to stay out of the gas, but it can run on REG fuel. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review

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

Nissan Maxima Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	16-17 in the city. 25-26 on the freeway. Not bad than other comparable cars. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	It is between 25-29.2 on the highway depending on headwinds. It seems sensitive to wind, mileage-wise. In town is excellent. In 4k miles the worst tank has been 23.2 when it was brand new and very cold out. City mileage is understated in my opinion. see full Nissan Maxima review
2003	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	I get between 26-27mpg. see full Nissan Maxima review
2003	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy is great for a 250+ horsepower automatic see full Nissan Maxima review
2003	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	it averages about 20 mpg consistently see full Nissan Maxima review
2002	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	For a large car with a relatively large engine, this engine is mirror smooth which helps it get great highway mileage. see full Nissan Maxima review
2002	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	I consistently get 25 in the city, and 33-34 all highway. Excellent fuel economy for any car, let alone one with a 3.5L V6. see full Nissan Maxima review

Nissan Maxima Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Not as good as advertised see full Nissan Maxima review
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Depends on a lot on your right foot. Driven like a Prius, 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway. Driven normally with occasionally throttle bursts, 27 MPG highway, 21 MPG combined. The CVT ratio spread maxes out at 2200 RPM at 75; a little high for MPG. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	City driving is brutal on mpg. If you get 12 mpg you are doing well. Highway miles are great - over 30, so great on trips, stinks for commuting. see full Nissan Maxima review
2008	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Not as good in town as expected. Get around 20-22 mpg in town, 25-28 on hi-way see full Nissan Maxima review
2006	4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	24MPG on the HWY. Come on...Crown Victoria is almost 30 has a V8 and gets 29 MPG on the HWY. see full Nissan Maxima review
2002	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	This car loves to suck gas especially when pushed. And not just any gas, the high compression VQ35DE engine requires premium. In my experiences anything less than 91 octane will yield poor performance and odd engine noises. I average 17-18 mpg at best. see full Nissan Maxima review
