Volvo S60 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Average mpg from trip computer is 30.1! Can't complain. Mostly driven as a commuter car on relatively flat 2 lane roads at 55 mph. see full Volvo S60 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For a sport-sedan, this car gets great mileage. 50/50 driving is an average 20.5 mpg for me. 90/10 driving is 24 mpg for me. I pick up speed quick and then light foot my way down the road. Average temperature is 32F which can impact my mpgs. see full Volvo S60 review

Ford Explorer Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	We initially went in looking for a commuter vehicle with High mpg... but the sport they had jumped out at us and we were on the hunt for one... in the wife's daily 45 mile drive to work she's averaging 20 mpg which is comparable to the Audi's 4 cylinder and my truck's 8 cylinder. see full Ford Explorer review
2011	4dr SUV 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Best in Class all that needs to be said. see full Ford Explorer review
2011	4dr SUV 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	For such a beast I'm pleased with the gas mileage. I average 19-21 in almost all city/suburban stoplight and rush hour driving. Highway mileage drops fast if you drive over 70. Keep it under 70 and I get about 24. see full Ford Explorer review
2003	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	For a mid-sized SUV, fuel economy is still as good or better than many 2008 cross-overs, and has all of the luxury features I like. see full Ford Explorer review

2002	4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	For a low output V6 (210hp) I would expect better gas mileage for this 4,400 suv. I average 14 to 18 mpg per tank depending on mix of city/highway. see full Ford Explorer review
