journeyfamily Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 ok so i have our journey for a few weeks now, and we went on our first long highway trip, so i wanted to see what mpg i was getting, so i reset the computer, after the trip i took a look at the reading and it was 8.5/100 so being british i was not really sure what that was, so had a quick look on the web and went to a converter, i have attached the reading i got off the internet, if this is correct i think its pretty good for a 3.5 v6.

bramfrank Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Of course you could have simply hit the conversion button - switched the vehicle to US measure altogether - a few button presses is all it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey_SeXT Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 On your touch screen press Settings, then Display, then Units and you can switch between US and Metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey41 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Seeing as how you are in Canada you will have to add 4 mpg to the US mpg. (imp gl vs US gl) By the way that is great fuel economy for the V6. Very nice!! Must be FWD right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillywalk Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I've had 7.7L/100km on strict highway with cruise on, doing 115km/h. It's the city mileage that kills me Journey_SeXT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I have been able to get mine down to 6.9L / 100KM . Hypermiling , letting off before a hill and coasting . It will coast for a long time without the speed dropping too much . Smooth easy accelerating . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyfamily Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 dont do coasting i just drive carefull and steady i dont spead i do the speed limits and just drive normall, is coasting really safe to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I never take it out of drive , just foot off the gas pedal and let it coast until I get just under speed limit then back on the gas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey_SeXT Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Very Impressive Bigtsr! I hope to get numbers like that when I go to Florida....7.8 was the lowest I managed with a full load and a family of four on last years road trip.

jugghead Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm shocked as the best I can muster is 10.9.. I am averaging 12.3 combined city/hwy. I'm trying for the rated 8.9.. the numbers you all have obtained, are you running the 6cyl or the 4cyl? I'm curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey_SeXT Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) I'm running 6 cyl. with 17" tires with FWD. Edited May 5, 2014 by Journey_SeXT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying for the rated 8.9.. the numbers you all have obtained, are you running the 6cyl or the 4cyl? I'm curious... I'm have the 6 cyl, but I don't have AWD. I had much improvement in mileage at 7,000 - 8,000 kilometres. My best was 7.3/100km How many kilometres do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I have the v6 but I tend to be a hyper-miler mixed with moments of NHRA madness. My mixed milage numbers (90-95%) city driving over the winter have averaged 11.9 L/100km but the last 2 fillups have shown individual improvment so that should go down to 10.9/11.0 for the summer.
