#41 of 164 Re: OUR MPG IS HORRIBLE [mkc99phd] by mjb56 Aug 19, 2007 (4:31 pm)
Replying to: mkc99phd (Aug 13, 2007 12:05 pm) Just got back from a week long trip to northern WI. 24.7 mpg with 5 passengers and a full load in the back, running A/C. Avg speed was about 60-65. That 6 speed tranny does wonders.
#42 of 164 Great Mileage ! by jimmyz4 Aug 28, 2007 (4:56 pm)
My VC has 2100 miles on it.   Took a long trip and got 23.5 MPG, and I get 19 around town. I cruise at 75 in a 70 and 70 in a 65 mile zone. AC running and outside temps in the 90s. I predict 24 and 25 in milder climates.   Of course, I am not a leadfoot. I keep tires at exactly 30 PSI and I use the cruise control, stay in middle lane and let all the speed demons go around me. I crank that great stereo, and the miles just roll along.   I agree, that six speed transmission is superb and probably contributes to the great mileage. You have to concentrate to feel the shift points. It is one of the best transmissions I have ever experienced. It will set the trend for others.

15 MPG   almost entirely city driving, AC going full force (it's close to 100 here), and a LOT of stop and go, and also the car was idle for about 15 minutes w/ engine running   Oh and this was the first tank

I have a 2008 Limited with FWD. The 2008 EPA sticker says to expect 16 city and 23 highway. I have 700 miles on the vehicle so far and I get ~17-18 in the city and ~23 on the highway. I am very pleased with this mileage for a car that is so roomy, luxurous and peppy. The Veracruz is WONDERFUL - especially the Limited model with all its technology and QUALITY features!!

Replying to: ilit (Jun 01, 2007 12:01 pm) I checked several tank fulls manually versus the trip computer. The trip computer was typically a 1% lower mileage reading than the manual calculation. I wonder which is correct? Anyway, the trip computer is VERY accurate.

#48 of 164 First Mileage Check by jmaulsby Sep 24, 2007 (6:01 am)
My first tank yielded 17.6 MPG. A/C running 98% of the time, very careful on startups and braking, watched my speed. The trip computer calculated 17.3 MPG, a respectable estimate.

Just bought our '08 VC SE FWD 3 days ago. The Michelin tires that came with it have a Maximum inflation pressure of 44 psi; the owner's manual says to inflate to 30 psi and the car came with 32-34 psi in the wheels. As far as gas mileage goes - inflate to maximum psi and put up witha harsher ride. The best compomise is split the difference at 37 psi, which I did. Will let you know how the first tank does. PS - The car was deleved from an out of state location to get the Model, color and features I wanter. It had 365 miles on it and the trip computer read 20.1 mpg.
