What it costs to fuel

Across its configurations, the 2018 Pacifica costs about $2,050 to $2,950 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $2,650. Over five years that is about $13,250 in fuel alone before maintenance, insurance and depreciation — which is why the running cost, not just the price, decides what a car really costs.

Relative to an average new vehicle, the most efficient Pacifica configuration saves about $5,000 in fuel over five years; less efficient versions spend more.

For context, the average combined economy of minivan - 2wd in this dataset is about 22 MPG. The Pacifica sits roughly 5 MPG above that mark at its midpoint, making it more efficient than average for its EPA class.
