Saab 9-2X Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Took premium fuel but got the same mileage as a Mazda6. Mattered more in 2004 when gas was around $2.00/gallon. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Fuel economy is low for the size motor (2.0 liter) and car. Would expect around 30mpg but generally only get around 25-26. see full Saab 9-2X review

Mazda B-Series Truck Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2002	2dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 147-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	A quick comment about motor oil: Castrol GTX Extended Mileage improved my observed MPG by 2! I have always run Castrol GTX, the non-synthetic, cheapest bottle, "dino" oil. It has always performed well as far as I could tell, but I saw a $15 jug at Wal*Mart intended/designed for the 75,000+ engines out there. On a whim I tried it, and instead of my mileage averaging 19-21, I actually got a run of 22.9. The 22.9 MPG was on a strictly highway cruising trip of 4 hours total, but I was completed surprised. I switched back to the normal GTX at the next oil change, and my mileage dropped back to 19-21 MPG. I always change oil around 4-5,000 miles. I always use high quality filters like Mobil 1. see full Mazda B-Series Truck review
