Well, perhaps I have less reason to be concerned. I have a 2009 CTS DI RWD. I'm nearing the 1000 mile mark and I've been averaging 15.5MPG. My main commute is 21 miles each way with a fair amount of congested highway each way. The thing that concerns me is that, driving pretty much the same way as the 96 Accord I replaced, I'm getting much worse mileage than I expected. WIth the Accord, I'd average around 25MPG. The CTS averages 10MPG worse, but only runs about 4MPG worse on the ratings. I love the car, but filling up about every 270 miles is pretty painful.

Replying to: edklein (Nov 10, 2008 8:25 pm) 21 miles in congested traffic..highway or otherwise will dramatically impact MPG,,you will not see high 20's in the CTS until an extended highway road trip....in northern va....im averaging 22-23 around town with stop and go....and 28-30 on the highway....over 100 miles steady highway driving at 70 plus..09 with 4k on it none DI engine

| was that CTS stands for Compact Touring Sedan (compact only by Cadillac standards), but I'm curious too if there's a real answer out there. | |
"C" class Touring Sedan. The CTS was developed to be Cadillac's compeditor for the Mercedes "C" class.

Replying to: richw5 (Nov 13, 2008 8:40 am) They had the huge DTS, the Middle Sized CTS, and the BTS(which never was sold in the U.S.) The current CTS was meant to compete with the base 5 series at a *much* lower price.

Replying to: plekto (Nov 14, 2008 9:18 pm) So, given that and GM's current "situation," there is surely an FTS somewhere in the mix in the not-too-distant future. |

Now that it is freezing in NY , I noticed that my cold tire pressure was 30-31 , so I added air till 35 . However , during driving , when the tires get warm , the pressure goes up to 37-39 . Should I keep it under inflated , so that it is normal when hot , or keep it inflated at 35 , and ignore the fact that the pressure rises to 37-39 when hot .
