Anybody getting better than 25 MPG? I talked with the dealer and they said I'm exceeding what they are hearing. They say most people are getting 22 MPG's? I've got 10K on the car now. I thought it might improve as I broke it in? I drive about 84 miles each day. 54 is pure highway with some hills and the other 30 is a mix of city/rural. I set the cruise on 79 on the highway but I consistently get about 24.5 to 25.5 MPG. I have tracked every tank since I bought the car and it has been in this range each time. I'm really disappointed in the MPG's. I like the car but probably would not have bought the car had I known what I'm getting. Thanks, Gary Acworth, GA

Replying to: imscf (Aug 07, 2008 4:59 pm) There's your big problem. Not trying to sound evil. I'm going to guess that you are stuck in stop and go pretty much all day. Meaning that there isn't a whole lot of time of limited stop driving in the city. I know there are the semiphores which must be obeyed, but between the lights must be terrible. Just for curiosity's sake, what sort of mileage were you getting in your old car, and what was your old car.

| You guys have the only real means of comparing the effectiveness of VCM - mitigated by the final drive ratio of the 6 speed vs. the AT. But can some '08 V6 coupe owners chime in with their city and pure highway mileage? Would be interesting to us sedan owners and the whole discussion on the effectiveness of VCM. Thanks! | |

Replying to: imscf (Aug 09, 2008 1:15 pm) I'd say your mileage is mostly being robbed by virtue of the fact your new model is significantly heavier than the previous and has a very wide brick-wallish, if you'll pardon the bad analogy, front end. It seems like a very bulky hunk of car. I know that when I'm in the market for a new car the gen IX will be out and they may look better, to me at least, and may have better aerodynamics. It's all a case of two steps forward one step back when it come to auto redesign.
