Lots of variations on fuel economy as you can read. Driving style will make a big difference, using a lot of engine power uses gas, no way around that. Try to cruise between 1800-2300rpm, it gives good results. Cars have improved a lot in the last years, no way a 7 year old design can match a 2015 model. But It comes close! see full Saab 9-3 review

I have been a tad disappointed in my newest car's fuel economy. My tuned to 340 hp 1995 Saab 900 SE was getting 29 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. Currently I am driving 75% city and suburban surface streets and the rest highway. This must explain my rather pedestrian 23 mpg current average. I did get 33 mpg on a fast long road haul to the east coast. see full Saab 9-3 review

Too Early to judge (625 miles on her). Initially, 1st tank 15.6 mpg. I am attributing the low mpg due to the honeymoon of a new vehicle and sitting idling for extended times while figuring out how everything works (and showing features to others). see full Saturn Outlook review

For highway driving -- which our primary [90%?] use of this vehicle -- I get 22-24 mpg. For an AWD with the capacity of this vehicle, that is a very competitive mph. see full Saturn Outlook review

Good balance between towing capacity and fuel economy. For a rather large vehicle I think 21-22 on hwy is pretty good, and 12-14 towing the boat. Most of my driving is highway commute, but it seems as though shorts trips around town the mpg is lower. see full Saturn Outlook review

I was used to the Saturn Vue which got between 22 - 25 miles per gallon. Now my Outlook is getting less than 15 in the city. It will take a little getting used to, but we decided to sacrifice fuel economy for a roomier vehicle. see full Saturn Outlook review

mpg is ok for a crossover SUV but with gas prices of today vehicles need to get much better gas mileage. see full Saturn Outlook review

Fuel economy was not as high as that of the Sienna, and in addition, many of the estimates seemed too high and were not supported by actual user feedback/comments found on Internet site reviews see full Saturn Outlook review
