| So I leased a 2008 CX-9 Grand Touring AWD about a month ago. I now have a little over 1000 miles on the car and have gone through 6 tanks of gas! Given most of my miles are city driving, lots of stop and go, but my average MPG is 12 and my best ever, a tank with mostly highway miles was 14. The car drives great, I totally love it, but having the fuel light go on every 200 miles is annoying as heck. Do I bring it in to the dealer? | |

Replying to: sigepruss (Oct 29, 2007 7:43 am) The gas mileage is extremely disappointing. I have filled up three times so far and have been getting a little less than 11mpg in city driving and about 14 highway! Although I knew that my actual mpg would differ from the estimated 15/21 mpg I did not expect this huge gap especially with the highway. Gas milage was one reason (albeit not the main reason) why I stayed away from looking at SUV's with V-8 but I might as well be driving a V-8 with this poor milage. I hope that the poor mileage is a result of some defect that will hopefully be fixed with a recall.

| I picked up my car today from the dealer and drove home - 100 miles. The tank was filled by the dealership before I took delivery. I did approximately 85% highway driving against 20~40 MPH winds. I couldn't quite squeeze 5 gallons into it when I filled up at home. 20 mpg on a new car, fighting a head wind, isn't too shabby. Granted, it's only 1 instance, but I was starting to get nervous about the mileage I might expect in the 2008 after reading these other posts. I just wanted to let others know that those getting poor fuel economy might be the exception, rather than the rule. I was very relieved when the pump shut off at 4.7 gals. I drive about 700 miles per week (on average) so I will check back with more updates in a week or two. | |
I just picked up a new CX9 AWD Grand Touring. First two tanks of fuel, almost all highway driving at high speed (75-90 mph) provided 18 mpg for both tanks. I bet if I slowed down, the mileage would go up - duh. However, I'd waste more time getting where I'm headed.

I have a CX-9 GT with AWD. With just over 800 miles all city, I haven't seen better than 13.5 MPG and I am not heavy footed. Its a great car, but if I had known how bad the gas mileage was I would of though twice. Just my .2c Tom
