What it is

The 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante is a car from the Aston Martin DB9 family. It uses rear-wheel drive and gasoline power.

The numbers

The defining figure is 13 MPG combined. City driving is rated at 11 MPG, while highway driving is 17 MPG.

Those figures show how fuel use changes with driving: stop-and-go trips return less, and steady highway travel returns more.

What it costs to run

EPA annual fuel cost is $6,300. Tailpipe emissions are 683.62 grams of CO2 per mile.

That fuel-cost figure gives a direct yearly budget marker for running this gasoline DB9 Volante.

How it compares

A 13 MPG combined rating sets a clear fuel-use reference for this car. A meaningful side-by-side with another model requires that model's own combined, city, highway, and annual-cost figures.

Who it suits

This car suits a driver who accepts high gasoline use in exchange for a rear-wheel-drive car with a 12-cylinder engine.

Its 11 MPG city rating matters most if daily driving is mostly urban.

Trade-offs

The 5.9 L 12-cyl engine and rear-wheel drive define the powertrain, but the fuel figures are costly: 13 MPG combined and $6,300 in annual fuel cost.

Highway mileage improves to 17 MPG, yet that remains the more favorable end of this car's EPA range rather than a low-fuel-use rating.

Verdict

Choose the 2006 DB9 Volante if its rear-wheel-drive layout, 12-cylinder gasoline engine, and automatic transmission fit your priorities. Plan around substantial fuel spending, especially for city use, where the EPA rating is 11 MPG. The 17 MPG highway figure is more favorable for longer steady trips, but the combined result remains 13 MPG. Its $6,300 annual fuel estimate and 683.62 grams of CO2 per mile make running cost a central part of the decision.
