Replying to: nrzjago (Jul 21, 2007 1:37 pm) Use what the manual recommends - engines perform best when they use the gas (octane) they were designed for. Premium may even mess up your emissions system in a car designed for regular. See What about fuel types & gas mileage? for more.   As Shifty says around here, premium gas is not a doggy treat for your car.
#32 of 164 Did we break it in yet? by nrzjago Jul 24, 2007 (7:06 pm)
We just took our first road trip in our VC (about 500 miles). Some travel was thru some small towns...hi-way speeds averaged 65-70. Our overall mileage was 19.9 mpg. Tonight it hit 1000 mark....does anybody think this will be the average mpg? or will it possibly improve? This was using a/c the entire time....   Also, the a/c has a couple of features I would like some opinions on...first, there is the circle with an "A" (read up and it is to help keep air pollutants out)..then just the circle/arrows (recycled air)..and then just a/c with outside air flowing. Is one better than the other to improve gas mileage?   thanx! nrzjago
#33 of 164 OUR MPG IS HORRIBLE by nrzjago Aug 03, 2007 (6:14 pm)
What kind of MPG is everybody getting in the city? We have about 1200 miles and only get 12-13 in town. A/C is going because it is 90 plus degrees here.   I know the sticker says 18/25 for VC FWD....and I anticipate closer to 15 or 16 and 23-24.....but NOT 12 or 13. Could this be a mechanic problem causing the poor gas mileage....or does it need to BREAK IN?   PLEASE HELP!

#35 of 164 MPG Not bad by ehtpiney Aug 04, 2007 (3:12 am)
Our MPG averages 18-19 in what I consider our city driving. Our city driving experience is more suburb than urban where traffic lights are more or less a mile apart. Not a lot of stop and go like you would have in say New York City. Your MPG will be greatly affected by how much stop and go, how fast you accelerate and how much time your car sits idle and running. Sit in your driveway with your engine running and see how fast your mpg meter runs down.

Replying to: tidester (Aug 03, 2007 9:18 pm) My most recent reading has been 19.9 in mostly city driving with an AWD GLS. That's with the A/C running. A lot of it may relate to driving style. A light foot rewards you with better mileage. My wife drives with jackrabbit starts and tends to get worse mileage than I do.

Replying to: mjb56 (Aug 04, 2007 4:48 am) This is very disappointing. Does anyone else have any MPG numbers? Replies to this message: mjb56 (Aug 04, 2007 3:12 pm) scott613 (Aug 04, 2007 5:43 pm)

Replying to: seloo (Aug 04, 2007 2:52 pm) Actually, I'm pretty happy with the 19.9 in town. That's about what my old minivan got. If I get the same with AWD, I can't complain. I've measured this with the trip computer and manual calculation. The trip comp actually turns out slightly worse.

Replying to: seloo (Aug 04, 2007 2:52 pm) My avg thru 5200 miles is 20.6. Best on one tank is 25.6 on the hwy at about 80 mph, worst is 15.8 on my 4 mile trek to work, with a lot of stop & go. Based on what I read in other forums, this is as good as, if not better than, all the other new CUVs/SUVs on the market.   You can also go to   https://www.fueleconomy.gov/mpg/MPG.do?action=browseList   and you can search mpg my make and model as reported by actual drivers.

Replying to: nrzjago (Aug 03, 2007 6:14 pm) Entirely city driving, AC on almost all of the time and about 2000 miles on the vehicle. I'm consistently getting between 17-18 mpg. Better than my minivan was getting (16-17 mpg with no AC). Will be going on a trip this weekend that will involve mostly highway driving so we'll see if that MPG number improves.   Cheers,   MC Replies to this message: mjb56 (Aug 19, 2007 4:31 pm)
