What do you guys get in the city and on the highway? Is the difference in gas mileage between the v6 and v8 a huge loss? Also if you hhave v6 what is your gas mileage?

14 in town (not really city), 27 highway (50-60MPH), 25 on the interstate (70MPH), combined 17-19 because sometimes I drive like a child

apeko · 07-28-2011, 09:20 PM

10 mpg.... i have lots of fun!

bajamoon · 07-28-2011, 09:21 PM

Same as the first 2, I don't have enough fun to get 10mpg lol

KSFastah · 07-28-2011, 09:22 PM

Highest around town so far? 17.4
Lowest around town so far? 14.4

Entirely dependent upon how much foot I put in it.

About 25 on the Interstate.

V6er's, he's not asking you lol. Avg usually around 20-21...depending how much fun I have! Hwy speed is 65 btw

mikel441 · 07-28-2011, 10:30 PM

Low as 14. High as 25. Don't do much city driving. Most of my car's life so far has been on the highway. Or in the garage.

I have a v6 and so far the best I have gotten was 22 and most of my commute is highway. I've had it for a month and the first tank I was getting on it way too much but still got around 20. I expected much better mileage when I drove it a little easier but I now have 3000 miles and I stay right around 22. Some say there is a break in period but I don't know how long that would be and if it will get better soon. I don't drive like a little old lady but I don't drive like a teen either so I really expected better mileage and I hope it improves.

aron77 · 07-28-2011, 10:49 PM

Oh yeah. This is really scewed with a really small sample size but maybe it says alot about me launching too fast but when I reset the gage while driving on the highway it was giving me crazy readings. I don't remember how much but it was way beyond what I could ever expect. And like I said before when I reset it upon refilling if I get on it at all the mileage drops to at best the high teens and then climbs up to my normal average when I make some normal drives on the highway.

Blake_GM · 07-28-2011, 10:55 PM

I average 19 MPG.

21-23 MPG on short highway trips (less than 15 minutes @ ~70 MPH) 25 MPG on long highway trips (over 45 minutes @ ~70 MPH).

Lowest I've seen so far (according to DIC, obviously lower due to averages) has been 18 MPG.

Do I drive like an old lady?
