#17 of 23 Re: MPG 2007 Torrent w/5000 miles, AWD [mrock] by geesh Nov 27, 2007 (5:52 pm)
Replying to: mrock (Jul 12, 2007 9:38 pm) My wife has the 07 Torrent AWD (about 7,500 miles).. and I would say that she averages about 20 mpg - and her commute is mostly highway. In fact, i tried to reset and drive myself.. and the best I could do was 21.5 mpg on the highway.   On another note, the car seems to make a soft, high pitched sound that seems to come from the back passenger side after driving. I would assume that this the AWD system - perhaps not working correctly (overworking) and therefore sucking down the mpg (not mention ruining the system)... anyone heard of this? My wife tried to bring it in.. but she couldn't duplicate the sound.. and they didnt believe her.

I am assuming that the way it is reading now is average for the total mileage on the vehicle. Other than the low mileage I am so enjoying this vehicle, it handles great on the back gravel roads and on icy conditions the traction control works like a charm.

I have a 2006 2WD and I get about 17 mpg. It's mostly stop and go driving and I don't have a lead foot.
