My '97 has 130,000 miles and I regularly get 28-30 mpg on the highway, 24 overall. Getting 18-20 means something is very wrong: ARCO gas? (run a bottle of Techron through it - then Chevron regular), air filter, tire pressure, cheap oil? It's a nice car -- comfortable, good mileage and reliable and not expensive to buy or own (if I want to go fast I'll fire up the Ducati and suck the paint off just about anything on 4 wheels) - it's just a good basic car - no complaints |

We have a 2008 Sable with about 600 miles on it.. So far, I have gotten 22 and 24 mpg on two tanks. This is pretty disappointing to me even though the car's not broken in yet. The sticker said 28 hwy and I have a feeling that's never going to happen. By comparison, I rented a 2008 Milan two weeks ago and drove it pretty hard for three days. The Milan only had 20 miles on it when I picked it up.. When I checked the milage on that car it beat the sticker giving me 27 mpg. On a brighter note; I love the car. I handles well, rides well and I love the "Sync." Don't count on 28 mpg hwy as it probably isn't going to happen unless you happen to like driving  45 mph..

Replying to: 777guy (Jan 14, 2008 3:50 pm) What was your mix of city & highway? Do you cruise at 80 mph on highway? Are you an aggressive drier? Are you in a state where gas has higher concentration of ethanol? Nothing like buried the car on mpg issue before 1000 miles logged onto it.
