Mazda5 5AT (from Mazda.ca) - 9.9L/100KM city, 7.2L/100KM highway.
Ford Escape XLT FWD 2.3L (from Ford.ca) - 10.3L/100KM city, 7.7L/100KM highway.
Jeez... for a truck with truck clearance and mobility, plus standard traction control and roll stability control - I'd take the Escape!
If you want fuel economy, get back into a 2008 Focus - 8.5 city, 5.7L/100KM highway.
Sheesh, my 08 Limited is rated 12.5L/100KM city, but in reality it's pretty much 11L/100KM if you don't wail on it all the time. I'm getting in the habit of maximizing the time in each gear and it's paying off! Highway is rated @ 9.1L/100KM and that's pretty much bang-on with what I get.
