When I drive the car I get around 24.5 and when my fiance' drives she gets about 26 haha!
lol i wish i had a G8!:D buuut my gxp in the pic is definitely good enough for me. I do all city driving also so that probably doesnt help my amazing milage...:cool:
Oops!! I guess the GXP has the longer grill like the G8. I didn't know that!! Is it still a V6 engine???

I have a 46 mile drive to work, 5 days a week. Drive is a mix of city/highway. Lots of stops and curves. I average around 25-26 MPG.

Let's just say she drives like a grandma!! lol
1 week later!!

I just noticed that I can reset my average gas mileage counter!!

After a week of my driving I'll say what my (100% me) average MPGs are. Stay tuned in!!! XD
After one week of my driving, I went 106 miles and my (100% me) Avrage MPG is: 14.0!!!

I still rather have the power than the better gas mileage!! I love my G6 GT!!!!!
Another week has gone by and my MPG Avrage is steady at 13.6!!! Still loving my G6 GT!!!
I get a whopping 20MPG, I do 90% city so it's not horrible, but for a 2010 car I would expect more.

My nissan sentra with a 1.6L gets almost 30 in the city.
Hwy I get 30-33 if I stay steady. City I get about 18-20

Pulled 33.6 average over 180 miles almost all highway. Did go through some slow construction zones.

I'm curious how you guys are getting 30 mph. My 2008 Pontiac G6 V6 barely even gets 24.5 and that's babying my car. My car is stock.

What are you guys doing that is making your mileage go up so much higher?

Nothing. I'm going by the computer not actual mpg calculations. Reset the meter before you leave and check it when you arrive. When you're pulling an avg speed of 70-80 30 mpg is easy.
how do I reset my mpg meter?

It says like 24.6 .... and I'm normally doing like 70 on I-84. I drive about 55 miles a day each way to work. Its a easy 45 minute drive.
Hold the enter button down on the mpg screen and it resets.
24-25 mpg is good in a city/highway mix
normally run 18 mpg through town. making my trips back and forth from my ol' lady's house to mine is all highway and i normally pull 28-34. it varies a lot definitely with traffic, and if wind is really bad to
I'm also wondering if a performance exhaust and a CAI also is another determining factor as to why some of you guys get such good gas mileage. The restrictive stock airbox and restrictive stock exhaust must not help for mileage.
So I reset the mpg meter. and I'm now averaging about 33.9 on the highway doing 70 with cruise. It is a brand-new engine, not even 1000 miles on it yet. so maybe that helps.

Would a CAI and a GM Performance exhaust, the cat-back one, help even more with mileage?
