#12 of 15 4WD on 4 and 6 cyl? MPG comparable, really? by maxwebster Sep 09, 2007 (3:07 pm)
Is 4WD available on 4 and 6 cyl. models?   On the MPG there seems to be some difference of opinion. The 6 has 100 more hp than the 4. Usually the MPG between a 4 and a 6 is close on a heavy vehicle when the 6 has 50 more hp, not 100 more. One poster says his wife averages 29 MPG with the 6. If that is true I'll buy one tomorrow. I'd like to get some numbers from different drivers of the 6.           Many Thanks Replies to this message: dtown (Sep 11, 2007 2:10 am)

If you check with the website www.fueleconomy.gov, you will see the results from all of the partisipants that register their fuel purchases their.

Replying to: elizabeth15 (Jul 11, 2008 4:25 am) There is very little mpg difference between them. For example, 08 AWD 4cyl is rated 20 city, 25 highway. 08 AWD 6cyl is rated 19 city, 26 highway.   I have had my 08 AWD V6 for 5K miles so far, and I am getting 22-24 mpg around town (suburban driving) and 27-28 mpg highway. The 4 cyl can't do much better than that.   So really it comes down to purchase price, and perhaps if the extra towing capability is important to you (not to mention the "fun" factor of all that extra power).
