Please report on your Enclave's mileage. Please include any details that will help others compare their mpg to yours - how much city/highway driving you do, your model (2WD/4WD?), whether you live in the hills or on the flats, etc. Thanks!

#5 of 14 Real World MPG for Enclave by lwolf99 Jul 16, 2007 (2:18 am)
I have had my 08 Buick Enclave CXL AWD for 2 weeks now. I am averaging 14.7 MPG in mixed city and highway driving in Pittsburgh PA (lots of hills). This was calculated by miles driven divided by two full tank fulls of gas. But the computer does also report almost the exact same figure.

We've had our CXL FWD for 2 weeks now. Most of the driving has been commuting back & forth to work with a few highway trips (330 miles on the odometer) Living in Florida hills are not something we have to deal with, yet we're only getting 12.6 mpg This is the biggest dissapointment with the Enclave. Any ideas on how to improve this? We traded in an '02 Seville with the Northstar V8 & it got much higher MPGs.

Replying to: billdoug (Sep 24, 2007 11:42 am) What's your driving style like? I'm here in Florida too and I have an SUV (not this one....yet) and how you take off from stops and how you punch it to pass/accelerate make all the difference in something that heavy.   I hit the gas pretty hard merging onto the freeway here in central Florida with the speed at which traffic travels here, so of course, I worsen my mileage. Just a thought. Replies to this message: billdoug (Sep 24, 2007 2:06 pm) jbjtkbw00 (Sep 25, 2007 6:47 am)

Replying to: jbjtkbw00 (Sep 24, 2007 1:08 pm) You're right,driving style can make a huge difference. We don't put the pedal to the medal when taking off/merging (majority of driving is surface streets) Have found that when your cruising along at say 60 & want to pass someone you HAVE to punch it to get it to get up & go.   Replies to this message: jbjtkbw00 (Sep 25, 2007 6:47 am)

Replying to: billdoug (Sep 24, 2007 2:06 pm) Hence why I'm waiting on the Super version. I know the gas mileage still won't be fantastic, but you won't need as much pedal to get going on our highways.
#10 of 14 Enclave Mileage by myenclave Oct 02, 2007 (12:33 pm)
2008 Enclave AWD   First tank average in city driving was 15.5 mpg   Second tank average in city driving is currently at 17 mpg   Ran a 3 hour trip on interstate with speeds from 70 to 79 mph run average was 23.5 mpg   If this holds up or gets slightly better I will be very pleased.
