Replying to: trraffic (Mar 14, 2007 11:26 am) I guess I should have done more research on the vues gas milage.This is my 4th saturn but first vue I just bought my 07 5spd 4cyl vue first tank 14.8 mpg second tank took a hiwghay trip got 16.9. Ive read the post about better gas milage after it breaks in but these numbers just scare me i know the epa is never right but this model is rated 23/29 14/17 is ridiculous . Thinking about using there 30 day 1500 mile gaurantee and getting a different vue if I still get that bad of gas milage it will be back to the ions or auras for me Replies to this message: speedingticket (Jun 13, 2007 9:21 am)

Replying to: jclnick (Mar 20, 2006 7:47 pm) I get less than 12 mpg around town and about 23 on long freeway trips. BAAAADDDDD !!!! I agree that it was misrepresented when I purchased. I wouldn't have purchased at 11! Anything under 15-17 around town is rediculous.

Replying to: silvernickel07 (May 26, 2007 3:59 pm) I am averaging 21-23 mpg city with my '06 FWD V6 Vue. The trick with the Vue is to keep the revs under 2000 rpm, drive like there is an egg under your foot. If you push it it will suck gas back to the 17-19 mpg range in the city. Overall I am happy with it, I hear the '08 V6 is about 500 lbs heavier is alot thirstier on gas and has about 20% less cargo room. This will be my last Saturn.
#58 of 107 Is there a big difference between mpg between 4 + 6 cyl by deucedown Sep 22, 2007 (8:43 pm)
Hi, new to this site. I was looking at either a 06 or 07 vue. What is the real mpg diff. between the 4 and 6 cyl. Is the 6 cyl. only the honda engine. Anyone have this for a while and could mention on reliablility?   Just lookin for a reasonably priced, fuel officient, good sized suv...is that possible?

#59 of 107 Gas Mileage 2007 Saturn Vue V-6 by johnnyreb2 Oct 11, 2007 (3:41 pm)
I went for a ride on Route 95 in Florida today. I filled the fuel tank up before leaving and here are my results. Total trip was 159 miles. Vue is V-6, FWD, automatic transmission. Drove 47 miles in stop and go traffic. Drove 112 miles open highway. (95) Average speed on open Highway was approx. 63-64 MPH RPM was around 1750. Filled fuel tank up on return which took 6.27 gallon of regular fuel. MPG was 25.4.   I don't think that is too bad for my first trip. The Vue has only 1,450 miles on it. Purchased new the end of August 2007. Not a bad vehicle. You just have to learn not to put the pedal to the metal because it will suck up fuel in no time. Very spunky for a V-6 engine. Around town I get 17 to 19 MPG average.   I can't wait to take it on a longer trip to see what kind of MPG I can get.
#60 of 107 1200 mile road trip in our '08 VUE XR AWD by michaell Oct 12, 2007 (9:01 am)
Wife and I took a road trip last weekend - Denver to Provo, UT and back. 1200 miles round trip. The 4 tanks of gas I measured were as follows:   tank 1 - Denver to Grand Junction, CO. I-70 all the way; speed was between 60-80 MPH, depending upon conditions. Two trips above 10,000 feet. MPG = 22.3   tank 2 - Grand Junction to Provo, UT. I-70, US 6 and some local driving. MPG - 19.2   tank 3 - local driving (to Park City, UT), then to Price, UT on the return trip. MPG = 19.4   tank 4 - Price, UT to Grand Junction, CO. US 6 and I-70 again. MPG = 22.9   EPA numbers are 16 and 22, so I feel we did pretty well. The VUE started the trip with just over 2000 miles on it.

Replying to: deucedown (Sep 22, 2007 8:43 pm) Got 06 VUE FWD, V6 which we have about 20k miles now. Consistently getting 20-22 mpg to/from work which is mixed drving. I found my mileage improved with each tank until I got 5000 or more on it. I've gotten 28-29 mpg on several tanks. Relaibility has been good, no issues to fix in almost 2 years. It does develop more buzzes than I'm used to hearing. Overall I'm extremely satisfied. Replies to this message: deucedown (Oct 23, 2007 7:30 am)

Replying to: ocmike3 (Oct 22, 2007 9:11 pm) How did you get 28 - 29 mpg? Highway probably. I have the same exact saturn as you, I just bought it 2 weeks ago. I have 15500 miles on it. I love the suv, I bought it off a private owner for 16,500. It was a steal, it has all the upgrades, chrome package, tv's in headrest and leather. My first tank of gas I drove half highway (on a windy day) and half city and I got 22.3 miles. I'm on my second tank which is all pretty much city so I will update. Thanks for any info!!
