The 2004 Saturn L300 makes sense for someone who wants a midsize car with front-wheel drive and a six-cylinder gasoline engine rather than a smaller powertrain. Its 21 combined MPG is the key budgeting number, backed by an annual fuel-cost estimate of $3,200. Expect the lower 18 MPG figure in city use and the higher 26 MPG figure on highways. The 423.19-gram-per-mile tailpipe figure adds an emissions consideration to the same decision.
