Replying to: sbarno (Jan 04, 2008 10:06 am) I realize that idle does help with mileage...   Did you mean "does not help?" If not, then how can idling help mileage when you're consuming (a small amount) of gasoline while not putting on any miles?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

#28 of 35 2006 Equinox mpg by commuter10 Feb 14, 2008 (8:29 am)
My Equinox is up to 20,000 miles. I continue to get 19 in mixed driving and 22-23 pure highway. No problems with the car. I use Mobil One 5-30 and have the dealership do all of the service work.
#29 of 35 Mid Grade Gas by rego500 Sep 08, 2008 (5:48 am)
I put about 10,000 hwy miles a month on my equinox for work and take very good care of it. I had a friend who is a Chevy Mechanic urge me to switch to mid grade gas from the cheaper stuff. It took close to 10 tanks for the computer to recognize the change, but now I get an average of 26 mpg hwy. The extra cost of the mid grade is more than worth it because you save money with the added mpg!   I also want to point out that the same friend urged me not to change my oil until the light came on. I was a "everey 5000 miles" man religiously, but I took his word for it. I now change my oil close to every 8,000 miles, I have never had a problem, and I get the same gas milage!

I got an 08 ls fwd. It currently has 3k miles. I consistenly get 19-20 mixed(when all city I get closer to 17-18). and on a short vacation trip I just took. two hour drive each way, I got 26 going and 27 comming back (elevation). During our wk there I drove city and many many very steep hills and I averaged about 16. I think i did pretty good. what do you all think? Replies to this message: laserblue (Aug 01, 2009 2:31 pm)

Replying to: wifes07aveo (Jul 31, 2009 8:00 pm) Mine is a 2005 FWD LT bought it new.  I've got 33,000 miles on it and every year on my summer vacation I go to Florida.   Total of 3,000 milles highway (round trip) and 600 miles in Florida (city and country roads). I always average between 24 and 26 mpg every time. I use my cruise control at 68 mph and 90% of the time the air "on".  This summer will be it's 5 th time down south.     I LOVE MY TRUCK!
#32 of 35 2010 Equinox mileage by gamehawker Sep 08, 2009 (8:29 am)
traveled over 450 miles this past labor day weekend (90% highway/10% city) and my 2010 Equinox LT2 FWD 4 cyl averaged 29 mpg. Considering my Equinox only had less than 400 miles before we began the trip and I was averaging 65 mph on the highway I am extremely pleased. I feel the mpg will only get better.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 23, 2006 8:00 am) Purchased a New 2010 Equinox 1LT, 4 cyl engine, Purchased on 9/12/09, now has 1786 miles, vehicle computer shows that average fuel economy is 27.8. I have not reset any of the trip computer since purchase. My driving is probably 65:35 hwy to city ratio. Using standard grade gasoline 87 octane, no ethanol, conditions have been cool, so no A/C has been needed.
