NOTE: When you have your tires rotated, be sure the tire mechanic knows to relocate the valve stems. My mechanic didn't so when my tire got a nail the diag system said it was a front tire when it was the rear one. |

Replying to: badgasmileage (Sep 25, 2007 3:13 pm) Your XE should get better than my XR but I think you need to give it at least 10000 miles to brake in the engine. So before you throw in the towel, wait at least 10-12K miles then re-evaluate your XE Phaeton Driver |

Replying to: godeacs (Sep 26, 2007 7:14 pm) I recommend you rely on the EPA labels to get a relative (not absolute) sense of fuel economy. The EPA test cycle removes the variation in driver behavior and is a measure of the vehicle. Personally, I think the Aura is a fun car and I find myself driving it hard -- and there are consequences with respect to fuel economy. With Aura you can achieve good gas mileage by driving conservatively, but you can also have fun when so desired.

Replying to: saturn_comm (Sep 27, 2007 4:30 am) To try to get a handle on what I'm apt to achieve based on the new numbers, I took my current average MPG and then adjusted the ratio of city/highway driving of the new numbers to deliver that number, and then use that combination to compare cars under the new system. Basically before on the old numbers my mileage equated to something like 80% city/20% highway, but using the new numbers now it's basically 50/50. Even though most of my driving is around town, much of that is on the Interstate that bisects our city, so technically I probably do more highway driving than I think I do, so 50/50 is more realistic. |

Replying to: saturn_comm (Sep 27, 2007 4:30 am) I swapped a V-10 3/4 ton truck (10MPG) for a Saturn Aura because I didn't need the big truck and wanted a high performance 4 door sedan. My budget was $25000 with trade in so that eliminated a lot of German and Japanese Performance sedans. I got everything I wanted in the Aura XR and if I only average 25 MPG, the way I drive, I couldn't be happier. I hope you get a car that you enjoy and makes your heart pump and your face smile from ear to ear like my Saturn does for me. Good Luck Phaeton Driver |
