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

Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	mid 30s in town about 40 so far on trips expect better as the engine breaks in and we take more freeway trips see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2012	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Excellent with the TDI - not sure the gas version. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	No need to sacrifice mpg to get that power. Have gotten 50 mpg on highway trips of 40 miles. Averaging 39 mpg at fill-ups. Getting 300 miles to half a tank of gas. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I was hoping for a bit better than the 8+ litres/100 km we are getting with this Sportwagen. I was hoping it would be closer to the 6 l/100 km advertised on the window sticker. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Our Sportwagen, automatic, has 17,000 mostly country/suburban miles. We routinely get 43 mpg and the mileage seems to have improved a bit, maybe 2-3 mpg since new. Top mileage is about 47 mph on the interstate, low is about 37 in combined in-town/suburban winter driving. For a car that is fun to drive and responsive at the stop light, this seems very good to me. Right now, diesel is at a premium compared to gas, but we still are saving money on fuel. Mileage on other brands of small wagons was much lower for the same utility. A friend with a new, 2013 Subaru wagon got 30 mpg on a long trip and was happy, but nothing like the TDI delivers. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Porsche performance with Prius economy see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	With 32k Miles on the odo, the mileage keeps improving. I think the engine will be fully broken in at about 50k see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	The TDI is a great contender in the fuel economy range. I do alot of driving and it would have presented great savings to me if I was able to located one when I needed to purchase a car. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD	I was getting around 50 mpg on steady state freeway driving. But the performance was far from economy car- Way better! Can imagine what is possible when the car gets broke in. Excellent all around. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review

2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Sportwagen's fuel economy is exactly what you'd expect from a fairly substantial compact wagon and a 2.5 litre gas engine, not the magically impossible gas mileage posted on the window sticker at the dealership! see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
