We are going tomorrow to start our search for a new vehicle to get out of the 2012 GMC truck because of poor gas mileage
Having been on the 15 state trip , the gas bill was worse than the hotel bills...SO
My favorite is the GMC Terrain 4 cyl, or the Buick Encore 4 cyl w turbo, or the Chev. Equinox 4 w turbo or a 6cyl ?????
If you have one of these please let me know if you get at least 30 MPG and are you happy with your vehicle..We plan to travel the Eastern US this summer or fall ..We are on the go all the time and gas is eating our breaksfast , lunch and dinner,,,
THE THING I noticed today is the Encore is smaller inside, has no arm rest on passenger but does get at least 33mpg...the Terrain gmc has an armrest, has bigger inside back behind seats that fold down for dog crate..
Any opinions if you have one of these,,vehicle would be appreciated

Stay away from the Equinox. My husband's oldest has one and has had nothing but problems, all expensive.

Hi YR
I would personally stay away from a turbo.
The chevy terrain is to heavy for a 4 cyl. and with a turbo its no better on gas then the v6
Actually the3.6 V6 in the terrain is not the best for fuel economy,
but does have good power and room.

Wondering about the relationship between the words "turbo", and "[fuel] economy" as well as gouda.
