hows your MPG doing?

want some real life #s here.

list make model of V6 SUV plz. perhaps a truck too

6/19/2008 4:17:34 PM

Does my Inline 6 count?

Are you looking for Truckish SUVs or Crossoverish SUVs ?

6/19/2008 4:23:55 PM

more crossoverish.

i figured id get trucks too.

i made a thread in chit chat for more answers (hopefully)

perhaps lock this one mr. underPNS

6/19/2008 4:25:38 PM

Did you know that Cherokees and grand Cherokees have inline 6's?

6/19/2008 4:28:10 PM

I mean my cherokee gets 13-15 city and 18-21 highway but its got a 4" lift and 31" tires on it
And its and inline 6

some of the crossovers get 20ish city to high 20s highway
but any of the truckish ones, pathfinders, 4 runners etc. won't be much better than mine.

They are all roughly the same, I was looking at the Jeep Patriot for a while but a cuv is basically a car that gets worse gas mileage so whats the point?

my bro's girlfriend's Highlander has a V6. My brother said that thing struggles to get 17mpg around town. To hell with that.

6/19/2008 4:54:22 PM

see, i was told the highlanders get 22 or so. but of course it depends on driving style.

17 sucks.

6/19/2008 4:56:24 PM

4000lbs and full time AWD, do the math

6/19/2008 4:58:47 PM

And Highlanders are ugly as hell.

6/19/2008 4:59:32 PM

i thought those were smart 4/AWD

unless there is an option for all time 4/AWD

6/19/2008 5:00:46 PM

6/19/2008 5:30:12 PM

Not what you asked for but the 1997 4 banger CR-V automatic gets 22-26.

All time high was 26.4mpg all highway.

obviously mpg's vary depending on driving style but 17 does suck. my wife's '03 highlander gets consistent 23-24 in the city and that's figured by hand calculation. hers is also 4wd. she definitely keeps her foot out of it, though, and it's very well maintained since i take care of the damn thing. maintenance and synthetics have a big variable on mpg's.

6/19/2008 6:02:57 PM

is her 4wd all time?

i know they have the 4wd model, i thought they were all time until i was told its like every other awd/4wd car now, its "intelligent 4wd'

6/19/2008 6:07:16 PM

it's really awd since there is no low range but the emblem on the back said 4wd.

6/19/2008 6:19:09 PM

04 4runner

19-20 mixed driving

have gotten up to 24 on solely highway trips

6/19/2008 6:40:47 PM

wouldnt it be nice if someone invented a standard test so you could compare one car to another. i bet the results could even be put in a nice table on a web page!

shee needs a rover

6/19/2008 9:09:11 PM

6/19/2008 9:09:45 PM
