Does anyone know which Saturn car gets the best fuel economy?

Joyrider · 03-07-2008, 01:53 AM

Excluding the hybrid models, does anyone here know which Saturn model gets the best mileage with fuel?

The hybrids are a bit out of my price range unfortunately, so I am trying to find out what the best regular line is for mileage.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you all in advance

The SL1 gets 28 city and 40 hwy.
The Ion gets 24 city and 32 hwy.
These will be slightly higher with a manual transmission.
The reasons are simple, small car with a small engine.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Epsilon, and it certainly DOES help me a lot

While I will still have to do some additional research on my own, you gave me more to go on than I had before.

Of course if anyone else has some suggestions, they are more than welcome to share them as well.

Second Gen SC1 or SL models. they can get up to 42mpg. my first saturn was 96SL.. I missed that car.

WOW! That's even better Crosby!

Unless i'm mistaken though, wasn't the SC1 model discontinued in 2002?

I have absolutely nothing against buying cars used however, so this should still be fine if I can get a good enough price.

Thank you again, and I will keep you updated on my findings.
