Who it suits. Drivers wanting a large rear-wheel-drive V8 car Owners who do substantial highway driving
The 2011 Grand Marquis FFV is a straightforward large car for buyers who value a V8, rear-wheel drive, and an automatic gearbox. Its 19-MPG combined rating is the central ownership fact. Expect the highest fuel use in city traffic and a lower burden on highway runs. The EPA estimate of $3,550 per year, along with 467.74 grams of CO2 per mile, makes this a poor fit for someone focused mainly on fuel economy or emissions.
What it is
The Grand Marquis FFV is a 2011 Mercury large car. It uses rear-wheel drive, a 4.6-liter eight-cylinder gasoline engine, and a four-speed automatic transmission.
FFV identifies its alternative-fuel type. The defining EPA figure is 19 combined MPG.
The numbers
The EPA ratings split into 16 MPG in city driving and 24 MPG on the highway. That spread shows how stop-and-go use lowers its fuel economy compared with steady highway travel.
Its tailpipe output is 467.74 grams of CO2 per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA annual fuel cost is $3,550. That figure gives a straightforward yearly budget for fuel; city-heavy driving will follow the 16-MPG rating, while highway miles use the 24-MPG rating.
How it compares
Within its own ratings, the Grand Marquis uses 5 fewer MPG in city driving than on the highway. Its large-car body, rear-wheel-drive layout, V8 engine, and automatic gearbox define the package around that 19-MPG combined result.

Who it suits
This car suits a driver who wants a large rear-wheel-drive car with a V8 and automatic transmission, and who can plan for a $3,550 annual fuel cost.
Trade-offs
The 4.6-liter eight-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive come with 19 combined MPG. City use is the weaker case at 16 MPG, while highway travel reaches 24 MPG.
Its 467.74 grams of CO2 per mile and $3,550 yearly fuel cost are the ongoing costs tied to that powertrain.
Verdict
Choose the 2011 Grand Marquis FFV when a large-car format, rear-wheel drive, and V8 power matter more than minimizing fuel spending. The four-speed automatic keeps the setup simple, but the EPA figures point to a meaningful fuel budget. Highway trips make better use of its 24-MPG rating; frequent urban driving will stay closer to 16 MPG.
