#1 of 5 Actual Fuel Economy vs Ratings by frena Jan 22, 2009 (9:00 am)
I'm in the process of deciding on the 6 or 8 cylinder and am curious how current owners are finding the mileage on both compared to the official MPG ratings on these engines. I haven't seen many comments on this so hope to get your feedback soon. Replies to this message: norse56 (Jan 25, 2009 7:46 pm) rk2469 (Mar 18, 2009 6:23 am) carolinabob (Apr 26, 2009 7:37 am)

I am still running premium fuel. It has amazing performance with excellent mileage for a 2-ton, 375hp car! Replies to this message: rk2469 (Mar 18, 2009 6:23 am) carolinabob (Apr 26, 2009 7:37 am)

Replying to: norse56 (Jan 25, 2009 7:46 pm) Your mpg will get better. My Azera 3.8L now can go from Houston to Dallas with the 31.8 mpg figure based on the meter. Now, it could be off little but the very fact that it can is remarkable.   The 31.8 mpg value is measured from downtown Houston to Lewisville (Dallas surburb).   The "reset" button was pressed so the count was 0 mpg. The car is set to cruise control at 65mph.   Average mpg is now at 23 mpg. I have remarkably short drive to/from my work place. 23 mpg figure is good based on the fact that I go through many traffic light in the commute of 4 miles.

Since my MPG has decreased with ethanol, seems to me this will affect all tests. Had an oil company rep. tell me they know it decreases MPG, but Congress has mandated use of ethanol to satisfy farm lobby.

I hadn't paid much attention to the MPG until now and when I checked I got 21.4 mpg.I live in Arizona and its the middle of summer so its way hot, I'm very happy with my results.I have the 6cyl Genesis with premium package and 18 in wheels,these results are in town driving (stop & go) with A.C. cranked up.I got the ride in January and only have 4600 miles on it,to say I'm happy with this car is an understatement.I bought my first new car 40 years ago for $1,995.00 and my payments were $55.00 a month, the Genesis was a bit more than that.....LOL.Like many ppl I have had a vast assortment of cars over the years,my last ride was a 2005 CTS cady,I also have owned BMW,Lincolns,and everything in between with a few sports cars and muscle cars in the mix.The Genesis I now own is one of the best cars I have had as far as price,quality,and value are concerned and 2me its a really nice looking car.I'm not sayin the car is perfect but I'm very Happy overall and am glad I got the 6cyl,don't get me wrong the V8 is sweet but having it would probably just get me overloaded with speeding tickets, and the six has plenty of power for any situation.Now I just gotta get a road trip planned and put this car on the highway and enjoy the comfort and luxury.   MIKLO
