6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I got the 4 cyl/FWD Equinox. It gets at or better than the city EPA estimate of 22mpg, typically getting 23-24mpg without AC, 22 with AC on. On the freeway, get 31-32mpg without AC, 29-30 with AC.

6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Not as advertised - trying to do all the right things (timing lights, light foot, no idling, tire pressure, etc.) but lower than what i thought i would get when compared to 17.6 for an envoy (15 city/ 21 hwy) with 200,000 miles and bad driving habits.

5-speed automatic FWD		 Okay, there was one thing i liked about the Equinox - it got decent mileage - i averaged around 23.5 overall. Mostly highway driving at 60-70 mph.

5-speed automatic AWD		 Fuel economy is terrible if you accelerate at any decent pace.

5-speed automatic AWD		 20 mile to the gallon may be 21 on a good day but thats it. not great for a 185 hp v6 gm could do a lot better
