2003 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 I am getting 22mpg around town when it is not winter and about 20mpg in winter, on the highway 26-27mpg @70mph, loaded for trips. see full Saturn L-Series review
2002 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 I get at least 20 MPG, no matter what. see full Saturn L-Series review
2000 4dr Sedan 137-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Respectable: 22-24 MPG around town; 25-28 MPG mixed; 30-33 MPG hwy and long distance. see full Saturn L-Series review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Average 25 miles per gallon seems quite low for this size car, even if it has a six cylinder engine. see full Saturn L-Series review
2000 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 It...sucks. For a 190hp v6 I expected 23 or more. I get as low as 17 in the winter, and I max out at 25 at any time in the year all highway. With new plugs I am getting 21-22 around the suburbs, compared to 18/19 earlier. see full Saturn L-Series review
2000 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 It is way too much fun to drive this car fast, and it will use a lot of fuel if you have a lead foot. Save the high revs for special occasions, and highway mileage can be close to 30 mpg. see full Saturn L-Series review

2009 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 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
2008 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The sticker said 24. I get an honest 24 and 25 on hyw ( I drive at speed limits) MILAGE AROUND TOWN IS 17 PLUS see full Saturn Outlook review
2008 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I get between 22 and 24 on the highway and 18 to 19 around town. see full Saturn Outlook review
2008 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 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
2007 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the size of vehicle fuel economy is more than expected. see full Saturn Outlook review
2007 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 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

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Still too new to tell, so far only 13+ mpg in town.(only 2600+ mi so far) I live in hilly country so 19+ hwy is still acceptable. I have seen 21+ Hwy see full Saturn Outlook review

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 well, i guess its just that with the prices of gas the economy would have been ok, 2 years ago, but not today.. i actually dont do as much after work these days cause of it see full Saturn Outlook review
2007 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 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
2007 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 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
2007 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 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
