2006 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5

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

Saturn S-Series Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2002 4dr Sedan 100-horsepower 1.9L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 With the SOHC engine and MT,heavy AC,I get 35-38 MPG cruising at about 70MPH 10% ethanol gas.Gas without ethanol gives about 10% better fuel economy but is not available in most places near me.It makes no sense to add 10% ETOH if mpg drops 10% see full Saturn S-Series review
2002 4dr Sedan 100-horsepower 1.9L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 The car gets good mileage, close to 35 mpg on the highway. I need to replace the intake manifold gasket - that will probably increase the mileage by a few. see full Saturn S-Series review
