Who makes the best mpg in a 4x4 pickup, car, or suv?
I need good stability on icy roads at higher speeds.
Thanks gj.

I've heard snowmobiles get pretty good gas mileage. lol just kidding, if you dont need a truck frame and your just on snow and ice, you really can't beat a subaru. And they get great MPG too.

If you don't need a truck frame and your on alot of snow and ice, as long as the snow isn't too deep. You really can't beat a VW Passat Wagon with the front wheel drive, 4 valve with the turbo. And they get great MPG too. It will beat the Subaru or any other 6 valve car or SUV out there any day and still get better gas MPG too.  Just go get your self some good studded snow tires.  Skid |

What do you want to spend?? Are you looking for a cheap, used, winter-only vehicle? An all-year, used vehicle? A new vehicle? Jeez, be more specific. If you just want a 4wd beater to get around in...find an old Subaru or Toyota truck.
Want something nicer or newer?....post more specific info about your needs.
Cheers,
Stod

04 Saab 9-3 or 9-5 these cars are great in the snow and get good gas milage. The 9-3 flys when you punch it.
