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

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

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

2006 4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6

Superior to anything in its class for freeway MPG. Only turns over 1900 RPM @ 70 mph, 27+ MPG depending on conditions. Mixed fuel economy is not bad either, my wife drives 50/50 city/highway and we average just over 21 mpg. Very satisfied with MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review

For a car its size, 24+ mpg is pretty amazing. This can be contributed to the CVT transmission. see full Ford Freestyle review

with a 3.0 V6, 2WD gas mileage could be much better than 19, to 23 MPG, it was in the 2000 Olds Sil, which was longer and had alarger motor in it. see full Ford Freestyle review
