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. On 1000 mile trip, I got 33, when car was less than 1 year old. Wife gets 20 in town, with short stop and go drive to work. see full Saturn VUE review
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 170-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid 4-speed automatic FWD	Excellent fuel economy for an SUV. see full Saturn VUE review
2007	4dr SUV 248-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	248 willing horsepower and 20/28 rated mpg that is delivered. 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. I can make to work and back 4 times before I have to fill up again and that includes running around town. I only had to put fuel in it once on my trip to North Carolina in August of 08. see full Saturn VUE review

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	Excellent Performance. Poor fuel economy even though it has the Honda powertrain see full Saturn VUE review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Not as good miles per gallon as we expected. Around 21 mpg highway. 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

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Dodge Durango

Dodge Durango Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2006	Like the Durango SRT's key strength, it doesn't require the skills of Sherlock Holmes to detect the Dodge's primary weakness: its fuel economy. In the EPA's tests, the Durango SRT managed only 13 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. The trip computer typically reported 12 mpg in my suburban driving. Driving the brute like a Prius bumped the number all the way to 15 mpg. On the highway I observed as high as 20 mpg, again in line with the EPA rating. The Durango R/T manages a bit better, 14/22, putting it not far off the Explorer Sport's 16/22. But a Mercedes-AMG GLS63, with turbochargers to pack more fuel-air mixture into its cylinders, can guzzle even more than the Durango SRT: 13/17. If you want an ultra-quick three-row vehicle with outstanding fuel economy, you're currently limited to the Tesla. Though perhaps the plug-in hybrid Volvo XC90 T8's 26/30 is good enough? see full Dodge Durango review

2007	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD	Mileage is actually pretty good for an 8 person hauler, but compared to our old 5 passenger SUV we are giving up 2-3 MPG. Will know more after a couple more fill-ups for sure. see full Dodge Durango review
