What mpg are you getting and do you consider it good?

[Anonymous]

There are so many posts on here about cars with good (or bad) mpg (like the current VW post) so I am wondering what everyone considers good for a family car. And what everyone is actually getting.

I get about 24 mpg in my Subaru Outback with mostly city driving. My Toyota Sienna got 19 so this is an improvement but I would not say it’s great.

fotrd cmax- low 40's around town, mid to upper 30's on hiways

my wife drives a forester, and she gets 24 around town, but weve taken on trips and gotten high 20's, creeping in on 30 occasionally.

We get about 18-20 mpg in our Honda Odyssey minivan - doing minivan things. On long trips it can reach 24-25. Our older Caravan got 3-4 mpg less, so I'm fine with what we have now.

Our other car is a 13 year old Prius that gets 40-50 mpg, depending on the drive, the load and the weather. It's still on the original battery as we close in on 200k miles so I'm happy with that.

The next car will be either a plug-in hybrid or electric.

All that said, gas prices are low and the long term outlook is for oil prices to stay relatively low for some number of years.

I get 10-12 city driving. No, that’s not good.

2013 ford escape. 22-24 city, 30-32 highway. I average around 25/26 on a tank of gas. I don't think it's good, but it's not horrible.

2018 Ford Fusion. I get 22 mpg, which sucks, but that's because I'm pretty much always in stop and go Beltway traffic.

In my 50s. A child of the gas crisis. So I do pay attention to that. My Subaru Legacy gets about 28 mpg in my typical weekly driving, which is a mix of highway/urban.

I can get almost 40mph on a straight shot to the beach on highways.

I'm happy with this. It's not as good as a hybrid, but it's not horrible, either. And it's pretty darn fantastic for a four wheel drive.

I agree with you, not good but not horrible.
I had a Chevy Captiva, 4 cylinder and FWD. I bought it thinking I’d get good mileage. Turned out it was no better than the larger Equinox with AWD.
Never cracked 30 mpg even on the highway.

Another Forester driver here and I get the same. 24 on my city commute, up to 32 for long highway trips. It was good at the time we bought the car in 2014, not sure what newer models do.

It's the same -- 2020 forester getting about 24mpg on city roads. Not bad for AWD which I believe typically use up more gas. Still, this is better than my previous subaru turbo charged car getting about 14 to 16mpg, and it took super unleaded = $$$$, though I miss the power of that car.
