| Mercury Sable Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
for a big car fuel economy is around 22 average and about 28 hwy |
| 2001 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
For a V6 engine with 200 horse power this vehicle is a bit of a camel. I was pleasently surprise that a used vehicle with over 70K could still run so efficently. |
