Car Mileage Comparison

Gas mileage comparison is difficult because some vehicles do their best on highways while some are too good on city roads. A car that can be more fuel efficient in a country should not be the same artist well in the world. Performance of the car also depends on fuel and maintenance. Mileage given by vehicles differ at same amount of gas.

There are examples of vehicles with engines by providing mileage even if we can not have them compare the fuel consumption. The two-wheel drive versions of Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Lexus RX 400h have 3.3-liter engine with six cylinders, which provide 28 City and 25 miles per gallon highway. Both versions have 3.3 liter engines and six cylinder and even the mileage delivered by both versions is the same. Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD and Mercury Mariner Hybrid 4WD use 2.3 liter four-cylinder offers 28 City and 27 miles per gallon highway. Even so, the two sport utility vehicles use 2.3-liter four-cylinder and deliver the same mileage of 28 and 27 miles from the town road per gallon.

Some examples are vehicles with engines and different mileages same. In this case, comparing the consumption of gasoline can be done. Logically engines of same power should deliver same mileages. But two SUVs like Ford Escape Hybrid FWD and Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD use same power engine ie 2.3 liter four-cylinder engine.

The mileage delivered by Ford Escape Hybrid FWD is 31 and 29 miles from the town road per gallon while Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD is 28 and 27 miles from the town road per gallon. Saturn Vue Hybrid and Jeep Compass 4WD use 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine, but deliver mileages of 23 and 29 miles of road per gallon city, 22 and 27 miles from the town road per gallon respectively. Chevrolet HHR FWD and Honda Element 2WD use 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine, but deliver mileages of 21 and 28 miles from the city and 20 highway miles per gallon city and 25 highway per gallon respectively. Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI 4MATIC and Mercury Mariner 4WD use 3-liter six-cylinder, but deliver mileages of 18 and 23 miles of road per gallon city and 17 and 21 miles from the town road per gallon respectively.

Fuel consumption comparison is possible, even in the case of different engines powered but same mileages delivered. Logically engine with more power should deliver more mileage than the engine with less power. But there are vehicles with the same engine, but they provide different mileages.

Infiniti FX45 AWD and Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4WD Use 4.5 liter eight-cylinder engine and 6 liter eight cylinders engine respectively but the mileage delivered is the same 13 City and 17 miles per gallon highway. Dodge Durango 2WD and Nissan Armada 2WD use 4.7 liter eight-cylinder and 5.6 liter eight cylinders respectively but the mileage delivered is the same as 9 city and 13 highway miles per gallon. Toyota RAV4 4WD and Mercedes-Benz R320 CDI 4MATIC use 3.5-liter six-cylinder 3 liter six cylinders respectively but the mileage delivered is 19 and 26 miles of road per gallon city.
