Replying to: temj12 (Mar 16, 2009 9:05 am) I do have a 3.6 DI engine. Performance? When I first took the car back, the dealer set me up with CTS 09 263HP RWD as loaner and I noticed that it seemed more responsive (peppier). Besides the MPG, this is also an issue for me. I'm basically following the dealers initial advice and adding more miles to see if any thing changes. I manually calculate my MPG after every tank of gas. It's pretty much a tank a week for me. It's great to hear what others are experiencing and thoughts on causes. This will all be helpful when I discuss my issues with the service dude in the future. Thanks all! |

Replying to: richw5 (Mar 17, 2009 7:57 am) ".... you didn't buy it solely for the mileage did you?" No, actually the CTS seemed to get good reviews and I honestly thought it was a sharp car and wanted to go American. The sticker MPG seemed reasonable, so I did even think about it. My last two were German, and never thought about MPG, because they seemed to get what was noted right out of the gate. Oh, well I don't want to beat a dead horse, I'd be happy with MPG close to what's noted on the sticker. Thanks for your thoughts.

Replying to: richw5 (Mar 17, 2009 7:57 am) I did notice this past week that my MPG increased by 0.3 MPG - perhaps due to change gasoline (no more winter blend?).

Replying to: waffleman (Mar 23, 2009 8:52 am) An engine needs a break-in period for the rings and valves to set themselves. During that period, most drivers will notice an increase in the average MPG, optimizing at 8 to 10 K miles. |
