Saturn VUE Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	The XE 4 cylinder appears to get good gas mileage, we are hoping to attain the published mpg. see full Saturn VUE review
2008	4dr SUV 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	With only 1000 miles I am averaging over 24 MPG with a mix of 60% HWY/40% Suburban driving. see full Saturn VUE review
2008	4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid 4-speed automatic FWD	The book says 26/33 for mileage. Wife gets significantly less in town. I can get 24 to 25.

2008	4dr SUV 257-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed automatic AWD	So far fuel economy is not as good as I expected, the car is still pretty new (<5 000 miles). see full Saturn VUE review

2007	4dr SUV 248-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I drive 33 miles one way to work 5 days a week.

Saturn VUE Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Could be better, but being a former Ion owner I recognize that the break in process is a bit long and economy may improve over time. Would be nice if it got better fuel economy from the beginning and improved from that point. see full Saturn VUE review
2008	4dr SUV 257-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I wish the fuel economy was better but I knew what the fuel consumption rating was prior to purchasing the vehicle. It is a large engine (3.6 L) and for its size, a rather heavy vehicle. That weight, however, does add to the safety of the vehicle. see full Saturn VUE review
2008	4dr SUV 257-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	15 / 22 city and highway best I can do see full Saturn VUE review

2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	On a good day, I get 19-20 in the city. It does better on the highway, upwards of 24-33. see full Saturn VUE review
2005	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	average 18 mpg over 38,000 see full Saturn VUE review

2006	2dr Convertible turbocharged 230hp 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	One would expect to get much better mileage from a car this size, however 17 city/23 highway is what I actually get. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
2006	4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	This thing had a 4 cylinder but sucked fuel like a big V-6 or larger. Is this the result of cinder-block like aerodynamics? see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
2005	4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Manual transmission with standard 4 cylender engine averages 25 mpg. Power is just adequate. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
