Saturn says the 2004 Vue can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 7 seconds, which is pretty quick (and about 1.5 seconds quicker than the 2003 model). Yet EPA fuel economy ratings remain unchanged (19/25 mpg for the AWD V6). Variable-valve timing enhances high-end power, low-end torque and fuel economy.
On average standard economy size cars with 4 cylinder engines offer 25MPG, while larger 4 door 6 cylinder sedans are offering 20 MPG. This seems like decent gas mileage but is it really? And don't even consider a SUV will offer good gas mileage unless it's a hybrid.
