#8 of 164 Veracruz MPG does improve a bit as it breaks in by egripp Jun 23, 2007 (3:07 pm)
Here is the numbers of my "3 fillup rolling average" MPG of the Veracruz. I will be waiting to see where it stops. 19.710 20.303 20.571 20.730 21.068 21.914 I am 60% hwy and 40% city, driving 73 mph on hwy. Remember, it is your driving habits and tire air pressure. I will try the synthetic oil angle after the breakin of the engine. I am very happy with the Veracruz MPG.
#10 of 164 Given where we are with the oil situation. by charlatains Jun 27, 2007 (7:00 pm)
The MPG on the Veracruz is a joke. Moreover, it's pretty insulting, in my mostly worthless opinion, to deliver such vehicles to the public given what we are up against with impending fuel shortages. But the buying public just proceeds on......... with their blinders apparently fully intact. No offense intended, but the manuf's and the public need to wake up. Times, they are a-changin.......

Replying to: charlatains (Jun 27, 2007 7:00 pm) If you are in a situation where you need to seat 7 on a regular basis, then this or a van is the way to go (vans don't really deliver any better mileage). It's not economical to drive two vehicles given your impact on the environment would be even higher doing that. If you don't need the extra seating then then you can chalk it up to personal indulgence. Either way, your opinion is worthless because I don't think you've changed anyone's mind.

Replying to: arumage (Jun 28, 2007 3:58 am) Veracruz seems like a great vehicle for a family with 3 to 6 children of varying sizes. Good for a car pooler or scout leader or team coach who helps in transporting groups too, even over uneven, muddy, wet or snowy roads, especially with the all wheel drive option and some good tires. Really good mileage for all that too, and with over 260 horsepower. A Sienna or Odyssey or Entourage/Sedona would be fine if it was always on pretty smooth roads.
#13 of 164 First Fillup by carbuyer11 Jul 04, 2007 (11:33 am)
Only 520 miles on my AWD Limited. Achieved 16.2 MPG (true calculation- not trip computer) on the first fillup. A little disappointing although most of the miles were city vs. highway so I guess it's not shocking since the city rating is only 17. I'll be happy if the highway rating of 24 is realistic.
#14 of 164 900 miles on my GLS FWD by ultcar Jul 04, 2007 (1:18 pm)
(Purely based on the trip computer, resetting it after each refuel...) My fwd GLS was around 14-15mpg, in city only at first. After passing around 400 miles, mileage started getting better. Right now, city is about 18-19 mpg. Just took a 7-hr trip on the highway over the weekend, and highway mileage was 23-24mpg (75mph, w/air conditioning on & a bunch of cargo).
#15 of 164 Advertising by outbackj Jul 05, 2007 (6:13 am)
Wondering if anyone has an idea as to why the new Veracruz is NOT advertised in any of the papers or on tv? I would of never know about it if I hadnt gone to the NY Auto Show. Thanks Replies to this message: joe97 (Jul 05, 2007 6:37 am) nxs138 (Jul 07, 2007 5:37 pm) mkc99phd (Jul 10, 2007 7:49 am)

Replying to: outbackj (Jul 05, 2007 6:13 am) There is a Veracruz commercial coming to a TV set near you, if it hadn't already.
