You should achieve the combined rating, the FWD V6 combined was 20 (I'm averaging 21.7 on the DIC, so with "error" that is about average)2010Nox said:I by no means would expect to achieve what the sticker predicts because I know that's under ideal conditions. I can of course achieve and even surpass their rating on the hwy. we travel most if I stick to the posted speed limit of 80 kph (50 mph). However I'm not easy on the throttle and drive in the city as well and on hwys with higher speed limits.
I'm happy with the consistent average 8.4L/100km (34mpg (imp.)) we get with our 2.4L FWD.
^you should put your vehicle specs in your signature. Although I assume with those mileage numbers you have the four.RNOX said:I haven't done a pure highway trip but I have gotten 23.5 and 24.5 for mostly local driving with the AC on. This is from dividing miles by the number of gallons at the next fill-up.
Not much for speed, but love acceleration.Another week or so later and 3.6k on the odometer I'm still around 24mpg. My wife did manage to squeeze 25.7 mpg on her 200 miles round trip. I must admit, that I was expecting more by now. Most of those miles (80%) or so were put on with just one person in the car. The MPG meter and the fillup are fairly close. They are within .3 of each other. I reset after each fill. I use Shell or Chevron gasolineDeMAN said:Combined city and highway looks to be around 24mpg. 90%/10%(highway/city) on mostly level road. the is a gradual upgrade on my way home. 110 miles around trip per day :'(. I avg. work 14 days per month, so I guess its not so bad.
My V6 gets better than thatDeMAN said:Another week or so later and 3.6k on the odometer I'm still around 24mpg. My wife did manage to squeeze 25.7 mpg on her 200 miles round trip.
