| Ford Five Hundred Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Fuel mpg: daily - 24-27; short trips (100-200 mi.) - 26-28; winter daily - 21-26 (lot of idling); and, long trips - 5000 mi in Mar. 08 was 27-32 depending on the leg. On the open country interstates the mpg eould start to drop if I exceeded 69 mph |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD |
Trip to Florida from WV 29.4 mpg. On the way back, 28.7mpg. I avg. about 24.5mpg back and forth to work, some in town driving (15%) mostly rural (85%). For an AWD and the size, this is fantastic. |
