Comparing old 4 bangers with newer V-8s isn't really proper.....when you should be comparing today's 4 bangers with todays V-8s.... The information complied below is from this year's Consumer Reports Annual Automobile Magazine using EPA numbers. For example, I do not know of any V-8 that gets 40 mph highway as the Toyota Corolla, or 38 mph as the Honda Civic (non hybrid).... the two best selling 4 banger compacts in the automobile industry.....even the Ford Focus, Dodge Neon, and Chevrolet Cavalier get at least 33 mph highway.... While the best mileage V-8s can get 25 mph highway, they do not get nearly as much gas mileage in the city as the V-6s and 4 bangers..... For example: Honda V-6 Accord 21/30 Honda V-6 Pilot SUV 14/22 Honda 4 Civic 32/38 Toyota V-8 Land Cruiser SUV 13/16 Toyota V-6 Highlander SUV 18/24 Toyota V-6 Camry 20/28 Toyota 4 Corolla 29/40 Toyota 4 Echo 34/41 Chevrolet V-8 Suburban SUV 13/17 Chevrolet V-8 Tahoe SUV 14/17 Chevrolet V-6 Trailblazer SUV 15/21 Chevrolet V-6 Impala 19/29 Chevrolet 4 Cavalier 25/33 Ford V-8 Expedition SUV 13/17 Ford V-6 Explorer SUV 15/20 Ford V-8 Crown Victoria 17/25 Ford V-6 Taurus 20/27 Ford 4 Focus 26/32 Chrysler V-8 Pacifica SUV 17/22 Dodge Ram 1500 V-8 Pickup 13/17 Dodge V-6 Intrepid 19/27 Dodge 4 Neon 25/33 The best mileage a V-8 can get on the highway listed from Consumer Reports is 25 mph.... The best a V-6 can get on the highway is 30 mph. A four banger gets as mucy in city mileage as a V-8 does highway.... And the Europeans are getting 45 mph highway with a Golf 4 banger diesel, and 60 mph with a Lupo 3 banger diesel...... I find it hard to believe Americans are proud of getting 25 mph with a Crown Vic on the highway..... I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE LIE ABOUT THEIR V-8 GAS MILEAGE? Obvioulsy, Consumer Reports don't....
