You may do well to search for prior posts, as this has been discussed at length.
To summarize, the mpg on a V-6 is directly proportional to how hard you push it at takeoff (as on most cars, but definitely true here). Weather, road conditions, etc make a difference as well. If I take it easy, I am around 20 - 21 in the city. On the highway is where this vehicle does pretty well. I can average 28 - 29 doing around 75 mph.
I have been against AWD, only because I think it is unnecessary. Most of us won't require the extra traction (with snow tires, I go through about anything), and you can expect 2 mpg worse for the AWD version.
Having said that, you need to weigh your needs vs wants and purchase accordingly.
