22 Gas And 5 Thirstier Vehicles!

The line up at Hyundai Hartford maintains its fuel efficiency reputation, as the second part in our list of top ten gas guzzlers is free from any Hyundai models.  As mentioned before, we again don’t see any cute little cars from a Volkswagen Dealer on this list either!  While the Silverado owners who visit Cincinnati Chevrolet Service can’t brag about their awesome fuel economy by any means, Chevrolet should be proud that none of their line up made the cut for the final five of the top gas guzzlers on the market for 2010!

5) The four wheel drive Nissan Titan has a base price of $26,320 and boasts a 5.6 liter V8 engine.  This full size truck gets rave reviews for its towing capabilities but not so much for its fuel efficiency.  The Titan only gets 12 mpg city and 17 mpg highway.

4) Starting out at $59,150, the Infiniti QX56 manages to get 12 mpg around town and 17 mpg on the highway.  Weighing in at 6,011 pounds, this Infiniti has a 5.6 liter V8 engine and has a towing capacity of 8,900 pounds.

3) With an estimated 12 mpg around town and a slightly better 17 mpg on the highway, the Land Rover LR4 is an awfully gas thirty vehicle!  With a base price of $48,100, this 5.0 liter V8 engine offers luxury and produces 375 horsepower combined with 375 foot pounds of torque!

2) The Land Rover series continues to advance, but in the worst way for fuel economy!  Again, getting 12 mpg city and 17 mpg highway, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport has a smaller engine but offers more power.  Keep in mind it is highly suggested that you fill up with premium grade fuel.  The 4.2 liter V8 engine pushes a whopping 510 horsepower and 461 foot pounds of torque.  The base price for this sporty SUV is $74,195.

1) Shockingly enough, even though you would expect the vehicle with the worst fuel economy to be a giant powerhouse truck, it is actually the Porsche Cayenne GTS sports car.  With a base price of $71,600 the Cayenne GTS offers drivers 405 horsepower and 369 foot pounds of torque.  Pretty impressive for a smaller 4.8 liter V8 engine.  What is not impressive is the 11 mpg in the city and 17 mpg highway drivers get from the Porsche Cayenne GTS.
