#28 of 140 First two tanks of Fuel - Mileage by kmo Nov 19, 2007 (5:38 am)
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. Replies to this message: 99zoomr (Nov 19, 2007 10:35 am)

Replying to: kmo (Nov 19, 2007 5:38 am) This reminded me that one of the things I found out about the CX-9 that I wasn't aware of before I bought it was how well it handles at speeds over 70. Very stable and quiet, in my opinion...
#30 of 140 Terrible Gas Mileage by thbarrett Dec 06, 2007 (8:17 am)
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 Replies to this message: nxs138 (Dec 06, 2007 10:21 am) onepeople (Dec 06, 2007 7:21 pm) niners99 (Dec 07, 2007 6:28 pm)

Replying to: thbarrett (Dec 06, 2007 8:17 am) That's about right, if it's a lot of stop and go. Heck, even the venerable Acadia that supposedly gets good mileage is only rated 16 mpg in the city (for both AWD and FWD).   Sounds like you need the new Highlander hybrid: I think it gets about 26 or 27 mpg in the city? Starts at $34k, though, for the base model.

Replying to: thbarrett (Dec 06, 2007 8:17 am) Yeah, the gas mileage is ridiculous. I knew it wouldn't be great, but it's worse than advertised. I get 20 highway if I'm lucky. Replies to this message: niners99 (Dec 07, 2007 6:28 pm)

Replying to: onepeople (Dec 06, 2007 7:21 pm) I have about 2.2k miles on my 2008 AWD GT. In San Francisco, I get anywhere from 11-13 mpg city driving. On the freeway I have been getting anywhere from 15 to 17 driving about 65-70 mph. Great car; fun to drive but gas milage is really bad! A friend of mine drives a Yukon V8 gets similar gas milage! The dealer who sold me the car thinks this is odd too. The car will be closely examined when I bring it in for my 3k mile service which will be very soon. I'll post the results when I get them.
#34 of 140 damn by scottinky Dec 11, 2007 (9:15 am)
reading this forum, i am glad I didn't opt for a CUV, my Armada gets as good of mileage in the city. Takes a lot of V6 pedal to move a big CUV, less foot with the big V8!
#35 of 140 Not complaining by pulleydog Dec 14, 2007 (4:53 pm)
On my trip today from the Springfield MA area to Allentown, PA and back, I averaged 22.5 MPG. Of course, that is almost all highway, but it also included numerous traffic jams on the way down and back - some due to the normal stuff and some due to yesterday's storm. When it was clear in front of me, I was going about 70 ~ 75 MPH. 22.5...That's what I was averaging in my Subaru - a car that weighs at least 1/3 less, was 4-cyl (albeit a Turbo) and took Premium gas. I can now go well over 400 miles on a tank of Regular gas with highway driving. And since I typically see my worst gas mileage in the winter months, I expect the mileage to improve after the first couple of oil changes (I may switch to full synthetic) and when the warmer weather arrives. No complaints about the gas mileage here. Replies to this message: imamg (Dec 18, 2007 4:12 pm) pulleydog (Dec 19, 2007 9:53 pm) nxs138 (Dec 20, 2007 1:41 pm) and 2 more...

#37 of 140 Better Than I Thought by jb03 Dec 18, 2007 (5:58 pm)
New CX-9 GT FWD owner. First fill up was about 16.5 gallons with about 360 miles according to the wife. This works out to about 21.8 mpg right of the lot. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised after reading some of the low mileage here. This first tank was based on about 70/30 Hwy/City driving. The next tank will be more City driving so I'll post the results soon.   Regards, JB
