Volvo V70 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Surprising fuel economy for the 2.5 turbo 208 hp engine. Several road trips with consistent 30 mpg at freeway speeds (70-75 mph). Around the city 22 - 25 mpg in mixed stop and go and freeway trips. The trip computer is usually 2 mpg less than actual. see full Volvo V70 review

2003	4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	A turbo sedan that got me 35mpg all-highway, and gets 28+ in mixed driving. see full Mazda Protege review

2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The car does get excellent fuel economy- IF you can keep your foot out of it. I rarely succeed in that endeavor- the car is just too much fun to drive, the embodiment of "driving a slow car, fast." see full Mazda Protege review

Mazda Protege Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Suburban fuel economy is acceptable, at nearly 30 mpg. But on the highway, with the engine spinning well over 3,000 rpm, fuel economy also struggles to crack 30. Many much larger, much more powerful cars achieve better highway fuel economy. Some owners have fitted the fifth gear from the related transmission in the Mazda6 to get more of an overdrive. see full Mazda Protege review
