we just bought a 013 limited awd with 20s and i can say the gas miliage is the only bad part about the car. but its loaded so its heavy with big heavy wheels, the sticker is for a base se fwd with 18s as lite as they can get so honestly i would say 14-16 in town and 22-24 on a trip would be as good as it gets. having an 010 4 cyl escape 4wd that got 31 going to myrtle beach last summer from wv has spoiled me course if i drive my 03 fx4 supercrew which gets 12 in town and 16 -17 on a trip the edge isn't that bad lol all in the way you look at it

2012 3.5 Limited. 2 WD 18" wheels. 19-21 around town. 27-29 on highway at 65-70 MPH. Will usually average in the 27's on trips...that's wih some destination driving. I think the 3.5 does pretty good. I'm a careful driver, and never go over speed limit. I also drive for fuel economy.

 

If you're not doing this good....slow down and check your driving style.

Just got back from another trip. About a 1000 miles, probably 90% Interstate driving, 10% destination driving at night, with cruise set on 70 most of time. Keeping track of fuel purchased and miles driven. Overall MPG average 27.1. Almost exactly what the trip computer was showing. Would have been in the 28's, but destination driving killed my average. The other MPG indicator....the one with a bar, that shows what your foot is doing, was showing 1-2 MPG higher. it showed in the 28's for all tanks. I just reset my NAV for most ecological driving, not quickest time. Will see how that differs on my routes.
