Fuel Economy / MPG »

GREEN | 6 out of 10
The Taurus SHO that we drove very enthusiastically over more than a hundred miles averaged 16.5mpg for that distance (it's rated 17 mpg city, 25 highway), while the Taurus Limited AWD we piloted later had been averaging nearly 20 mpg over an entire day and more than 250 miles of driving.
Unfortunately, the greenest model in the lineup--SE, SEL, and Limited models with the 2.0T engine, won't arrive until later in the model year; but Ford has promised at least 31 mpg highway.
Conclusion
A more economical turbo four-cylinder is on the way for the Taurus later in the model year; other models are about par for a large sedan.
