I have a 1994 MPV with 173,000 miles; I recently drove it to Key West and back
to Stuart FL (about 500 miles roundtrip) I got 22.88 MPG with regular gas and that
was with the A/C on!

Escalade with 5.3 Liter V-8 2WD by plasticsman1

Our 2002 Cadillac Escalade with the small V-8 consistently gets 19 MPG
on the Interstate when driving from West Palm Beach to Charleston SC.
on Regular Gas. We will not go to a small car to get 30 MPG. It's just not
enough of a savings for the safety and comfort that we would give up.

27.5 mpg in a 2006 Sienna with cruise set at 75 and a/c on.
 
Why drive an Escalade if you want safety. Wouldn't something with a better rollover history be more appropriate?

Averaged 43.5 MPG by lavrishevo

So on our trip to Serbia and Montenegro we rented for the month a 2004 Ford Galaxy with a 1.9L VW diesel engine paired to a 6 speed manual tranny. Amazing gas mileage!!! Not much power but it did the job in the mountains with 6 people and we averaged 43.5 MPG. Forget hybrid give me a diesel engine in a nice van....

Loaded up, very heavy... by ateixeira

My mileage dropped recently when my brother and his family visited. We had the van full with 8 people and luggage/bags the entire time, and got anywhere from 22 mpg in mostly city driving to around 25mpg on trips.
 
I'm sure the extra weight and the fact that we cranked the dual A/C to keep a car full of kids happy didn't help.
 
With just the 4 of us we get at least 27 on trips, at times 30.

That's not bad with 8 in the heat. Hey but did you see my post on the Ford Galaxy we had for a month. Over 43 MPG averaged! Incredible! Of course gas was almost $5.00 a gallon but can you imagine having this sort of efficiency in the U. S. Just a shame how limited we are in our engine selections. A 2.5 L diesel engine could power a Sienna or Sedona great with excellent gas mileage. Just a shame...

That's cool, in Europe, right?
 
Brazil gets most of its models from Europe, though I haven't seen the Galaxy there. They have a Ford EcoSport that is a whole lot smaller than the Escape, though.

I feel the exact same way!!! I'll take a diesel over a gas burner any day. My hubby's diesel F-350 4x4 crew cab one ton 6.0L diesel got 16-20 mpg over a 2000 mile vacation last week.
 
My windstar, I'm lucky to get 16 mpg.
 
Give me a diesel any day!!
