Just got our new 2006 LT (FWD) on July 4th and we haven't quite finished off the first tank of gas so still waiting on the first look at MPG. One thing is for sure, it probably won't be pretty...we sat in traffic for 1 hour Saturday trying to go to the local air show...it literally took 1 hour to move about 3 miles. I will say this...from reading other Real World MPG boards and having driven some of those cars as well, the climate, roads and hills in Western PA create some of the worst MPG conditions over the course of the 4 seasons. We had a 2004 Malibu Maxx that was pretty good on gas (rated at 22/32) and in our daily start/stop short distance travel we averaged about 20 MPG. On a trip to Hilton Head last year we averaged 30...which I thought was excellent considering we rarely drove below 70 mph. We are going back to HH this year and I figure we'd be lucky to get 23mpg with the Equinox...which has me thinking we might try and cram ourselves and our stuff into my ION. I get 26-27 with my daily commute (about 1/2 city and highway type driving) so I figure it should get 30 mpg (loaded up) on the highway. I will post my first tank numbers for the Nox in the next week.

Replying to: icedog97 (Jul 11, 2006 6:56 am) gas purchased: 9.7 gallons distance traveled since first full tank: 150 miles MPG = 15.46 BUT...if you consider my long delay (1 hour in almost standstill traffic to go approx 3 miles) it gets a little better. After reading some "gas comsumed at idle" articles, I am gonna guess that I used at least 1 gallon of gas to go that 3 miles... So, I will factor that out... 8.7 gallons to go 147 miles = 16.897 MPG I am thinking that's fairly realistic...we do about 90% start and stop driving (up and down hills) and about 10% highway, so I expect the numbers to be closer to the city mileage. This would also be in line with what we averaged with our Maxx. The Maxx was rated 22 city and we averaged 20. The Nox is 19 city and we are looking at around 17. I'm curious to see what the next tank gives us. |

I'm just going to keep a mileage log... 2006 Equinox LT/FWD - lifetime MPG = 16.163 miles = 150 gallons = 9.7 MPG = 15.46 (1 hour in traffic to go 3 miles) -- 7/11/2006 miles = 107 gallons = 6.2 MPG = 17.26 -- 7/17/2006
