Toyota Solara Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	2dr Convertible 210-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I was continually impressed that, given reasonably conservative driving, this torquey 3.3L V6 returned fuel economy in the high 20s and even touched the 30s on a long drive from Phoenix to San Diego. see full Toyota Solara review
2006	2dr Coupe 157-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I keep getting above EPA estimates. City/Highway/Combined at 26/35/32 see full Toyota Solara review
2006	2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I get great fuel ecomony: 25-29 mpg combination of highway and city driving. see full Toyota Solara review
2004	2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Increased distance between gas stops. see full Toyota Solara review

Nissan Quest Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	I was hoping for slightly better fuel economy, but for a 4500 lbs vehicle, I really shouldn't be complaining. In predominantly hilly suburban driving, I'm averaging a couple miles below the estimated city fuel economy number. On 100% hilly highway miles, I'm right about at or maybe 1 mpg above the estimated fuel economy. It would be nice to acheive better highway mpg, but I suppose that's the trade-off for having a torquey engine. You would think the CVT would improve things, and maybe in fact it is helping the poor fuel economy of the aging VQ engine design, but I also think the CVT transmission is a cost-cutting measure by Nissan. It would be nicer to have one of the 7 speed transmissions found in the Infiniti lineup. see full Nissan Quest review

2014	4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	Could be better, but then the van would have less power. Pick your poison. see full Nissan Quest review

2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	All vans have pitiful fuel economy. The Quest is about average for the class. see full Nissan Quest review
