Choose this Tracker for its open-body format and driven wheels rather than for low fuel expense. The 21 MPG combined rating gives it a straightforward running-cost picture, with highway use only slightly more efficient than city use. Its gasoline engine and older three-speed automatic define the mechanical setup. If those trade-offs match your needs, the EPA figures provide a clear baseline for budgeting fuel.
