well thought I'd update how the 07 SS Impala's MPG's been doing on the HWY. NOt any better, actual gotten worse! I'm getting about 19.8 MPG's on the HWY. THe cars starting to have idle issues, when stopped at a stop light w/the AC running. It's sounded like it's wanted to stall & I could even feel it acting like it was going to stall.
 
I've called the dealership again complaining. They dealerships looked the car over once & could not find anything wrong w/it. I've asked them to work something out on a New 08 Impala LT V6/3.5L. I a little sad though because I'm going to miss the dual exhaust sound, & I liked the fancy rims the SS has. I thought about the LTZ, because they have sharp rims, but I'm wondering if I'll loose more on the HWY MPG?

Hello All ,
      New ss 07 took on trip to atlanta and back starting at 600 miles on car and the highway mpg on the leg back with 2000 miles on the clock was 27.o and that was at high speeds 80 mph air on hill and dale . I have the k+n air filter and changed the oil to mobile 1 before the trip . Also new york has the oxy gas like california and the car gets 2 mpg worse on it then the good old gas that you can buy in georga and south carolina . Did cover slightly over 400 miles on a tank with the southern gas .

Was not able to work anything out w/dealership, wanted us to trade straight across into a cheaper model LT, but we'd be even farther upside down if we did that so we turned them down. I asked them to buy the car but, they declined stating they had too much inventory & didn't want to purchase any more cars at the time.
 
Now have to take car back in to shop , due to some idle problems when stopped at stop lights while AC is running, Car acts as if it's close to stalling at times. ALso car has had a strange shifting yesterday after slowing down quickly due to traffice & then upon acceraltion acted as if the car didn't want to go. I thought I was going to get rear ended.
