2024 Hyundai Palisade vs Mazda CX-90: Are You Wasting Your Gas Dollars? 

Great fuel analysis. Simple thing but often overlooked. Takes comparable vehicles with a big consumption delta and that isn't always going to be in play, but when it is, doing this analysis is very helpful. Think as well, typically ownership is 5 years ($700 * 5 = $3,500). For the consumer, that money can essentially be used to justify going up another trim level on the more fuel efficient vehicle

You have one of the few reviews that really focuses on the fuel savings. So many other reviews focus on the space ( or relative lack thereof… and I do mean RELATIVE because the Mazda has enough space for most families) but not on the huge fuel savings. Despite the performance and handling advantages of the CX-90 the fuel savings put the Mazda over the top for me. Also in the real world the Palisade ( and its corporate cousin the Kia Telluride) are almost always marked up $4,000.00 dollars or more over MSRP. I paid under MSRP for my CX-90 PHEV.

Thank you. This is helpful with my decision between the two.

Running 91 octane my wife averages 19-20 mpg in a CX-90 340hp model. We live in the city so mostly stop and go type driving.

Good review w good data
