5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 getting 25 around town and 32 hwy see full Volvo V50 review
2006 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual AWD		 25-30 mpg is DOUBLE what my previous Jeep was getting. see full Volvo V50 review
2006 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 30 plus mpg h/w at 65-70 mph for hours on end. see full Volvo V50 review
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual FWD		 30+ on the highway makes this a real touring car. City mileage plummets but typically get 27+ combined. The Turbo gives it lots of acceleration when needed and frugal when you leave the turbo alone. see full Volvo V50 review
Volvo V50 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Really not that great but part of that is I LOVE to kick in the turbo when getting on the interstate or pulling out from a stop sign. see full Volvo V50 review
2006 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Keeping those five cyclinders fed burns fuel. On the highway, that's not a problem, but in stop and go traffic, MPG numbers go down and down. see full Volvo V50 review

2010 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 I am currently averaging 20 MPG overall with heavy highway use. For the size of vehicle I think that is rather reasonable. see full Ford Flex review
2010 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 1000 miles of ownership so far, 21-22 mpg in light suburb and highway driving, 24-25 mpg on 500 mile trip (fuel economy measured by calculating miles driven divided by gallons of fuel purchased). see full Ford Flex review
2009 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 Only driven around town, mileage 16.6, have never had it on the open road. see full Ford Flex review
2009 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed automatic FWD		 Very good for a 4500 lb vehicle. see full Ford Flex review
