| 2009 | 4dr SUV 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The XE 4 cylinder appears to get good gas mileage, we are hoping to attain the published mpg. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
With only 1000 miles I am averaging over 24 MPG with a mix of 60% HWY/40% Suburban driving. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 257-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
So far fuel economy is not as good as I expected, the car is still pretty new (<5 000 miles). |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid 4-speed automatic FWD |
The book says 26/33 for mileage. Wife gets significantly less in town. I can get 24 to 25. On 1000 mile trip, I got 33, when car was less than 1 year old. Wife gets 20 in town, with short stop and go drive to work. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid 4-speed automatic FWD |
I get the same milage as I got in my small coupe, but all the room of an SUV. |

twice as good as my last suv (a lexus) |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 248-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
I drive 33 miles one way to work 5 days a week. I can make to work and back 4 times before I have to fill up again and that includes running around town. I only had to put fuel in it once on my trip to North Carolina in August of 08. |

248 willing horsepower and 20/28 rated mpg that is delivered. |

Excelletn mileage for the size and power of the vehicle and powertrain. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
After 100,000 miles I still get 25 - 26 mpg on the highway and 17-18 in town. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 143-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
30mpg is amazing for an SUV and it has great cargo room. |

Better MPG than the old 1998 Chevy Suburban! |

I get 26 to 28 mpg on the highway and 19 to 20 mpg in town |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
At the time we bought the Saturn Vue, we were looking for either a mid-size quad-cab pickup or a small to mid-size SUV that would seat 5. I also wanted the power of a V6. Of those in our price range, the Vue had the best fuel milage of them all. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 143-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Best for an older SUV-type car |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 143-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Have always gotten around 27 MPG whether highway or city driving. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 143-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
For a small SUV, it was a great compromise between size and economy. |

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 257-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I wish the fuel economy was better but I knew what the fuel consumption rating was prior to purchasing the vehicle. It is a large engine (3.6 L) and for its size, a rather heavy vehicle. That weight, however, does add to the safety of the vehicle. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Could be better, but being a former Ion owner I recognize that the break in process is a bit long and economy may improve over time. Would be nice if it got better fuel economy from the beginning and improved from that point. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 257-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
15 / 22 city and highway best I can do |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Excellent Performance. Poor fuel economy even though it has the Honda powertrain |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Not as good miles per gallon as we expected. Around 21 mpg highway. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
On a good day, I get 19-20 in the city. It does better on the highway, upwards of 24-33. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
average 18 mpg over 38,000 |
