What is the gas mileage of a limo?

There's no single answer to the gas mileage of a limo. It varies dramatically depending on several factors:

* Size and weight: Larger limousines, especially those built on larger chassis (like a bus chassis), get significantly worse gas mileage than smaller ones.

* Engine size and type: A V8 engine will consume more fuel than a smaller V6 or even a hybrid powertrain (though hybrids are rare in limousines).

* Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and high speeds drastically reduce fuel economy.

* Maintenance: Proper maintenance ensures optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.

* Type of limousine: A stretched sedan will have different fuel economy than a large SUV-based limousine.

You could expect anywhere from 8-15 MPG (miles per gallon), with larger, less fuel-efficient limousines likely falling toward the lower end of that range, and smaller, more modern ones potentially approaching the higher end. It's very unlikely you'd find a limo that gets better gas mileage than that.
