Replying to: chicagodrive1 (Jul 24, 2008 8:10 pm) I also would like to know if there is a "stingy" mode. My 4-cyl 08 only gets about 16-18 mpg in town. I've tried driving as gently as possible (getting honks from other drivers).

Replying to: hillary4prez (Nov 15, 2008 8:53 am) I have the 2008 4cyl XE, 5K miles. Today finished a 2-way trip of 300 miles each way, 1 person aboard, light luggage, 95% on flat interstates at 70mph on cruise control, air temperature at 50-73 degrees. All tires at 30psi per the sticker. Going - 27mpg with premium gas. Returning - 26mpg with mid-grade gas. Calculated mpg - not the trip computer. I am very disappointed.

Replying to: cwr64 (Nov 20, 2008 2:54 pm) CWR 64 - How many miles on your 4 banger? If your under 5000, you'll just have to be ticked off for a while. After 5000 it starts to get better and will reach it's potential after 8000 to 1000 miles. Oh yea, You'll need to pump up those tires to at least 35front 34rear to get best mileage. 30 is like running on a flat as far as I am concerned. I run 37 front 35 rear when loaded and on a trip. I get 30+ average on the highway at 80 MPH with my 3.6L XR

#64 of 65 Aura 4 cyl XE Fuel Mileage by tbran1 Jun 10, 2009 (9:27 am)
US EPA rates 4 cyl Aura as 22 City and 33 hwy. US EPA rating is done in a lab on a dyno so is pretty optimistic and that's why few if any get the posted rates. 6 cyl is 17 City/26 hwy. In Real World everyday driving, and with slipstreamfs.com low drag coating on ours, a 4 cyl Aura gets better mileage than the posted EPA rating for a Smart car! Our Aura gets 30 City/45 Hwy 60 mph with no load) verified by OBDII reader Scan Guage II. US EPA ratings can be found at :http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm
