SUV with worst MPG?

I think the Insight has the best mileage, but do they even make it anymore? If not, I'd say the new Prius.

Doing a persuasive speech for speech class, need some factual data.

Before anyone bashes me, I DO UNDERSTAND the reasoning for buying them and why someone should/shouldn't buy them, please don't turn this thread into one discussing SUV vs. sedan or something, TIA
 
um........

they are all REALLy close in gas mileage in that range. but the excursion blows all of them out of the water.

Thanks nourdmrolNMT1! One question though, why isn't the gas mileage for the Excursion published anywhere? It's even says N/A on ford's site as well as edmunds

I found gas mileage from reviews of people who own it, but why doesn't ford publish the mileage values?
 
Base excursion is about $37k I think. I was thinking this one too, until the price.

Perhaps a Durango (that thing got a hemi?).

Funny thing about SUV's these days though. Excursion is made from >80% recyclable parts, and is certified LEV (which means a tiny 1980 honda accord will put out more emissions in 1 mile than an Excursion will with 600 miles).

I don't know about that. I have a 2001 Isuzu Trooper that I love to death. However, it consistently gets 12-13MPG, no matter what you do. Drive slow. Drive fast. AC on. AC off. It is impeccably maintained. Oil changes, factory service etc. It's got a big 6 instead of a small 8, which would be better, IMO. 🙁

Oh well. Other than the mileage, I love it.
 
My '95 Rodeo gets a rated 12/15mpg. It's only a V6 and I think it's pretty accurate.

In my opinion, I don't think the monstrosities like Excursions and Expeditions should be considered an "SUV"...

Anything that has a V10 option will be terrible. Ford's V10 makes good power but the mileage is just awful. The Diesel Excursions, however, get surprisingly good mileage and it is actually the high mileage figures posted by the Deisel version of the Excursion that kept Ford from giving it the axe. Seems that a lot of people are buying Diesel Excursions as tow vehicles because they get good mileage.

So: V10 Excursion = Gas hog. Diesel Excusion = Surprisingly good mileage.

Nope. Because the Excursion is over 6000lbs it's classified as a truck, and therefore is subjected to different ratings. LEV for a truck still isn't very env-friendly.

Why are you surprised the diesel gets good mileage?
