Allright, we're getting some age and miles on the Regals. Whats your avg mpg?
I bring this up because, long story short...
I spend a lot of time in gas sucking v8's. A 1999 Chevy Express 2500 Cargo Van - doing good to avg 12 mpgs. And a 2007 Duramax Silverado - 25 on the eway, but modded for long hauls on the Eway.
So I bought a little rice burning gas sipper thats about half the size of my Silverado and got to thinking, hmmm this 2011 Scion xB has a 2.4L the same size as the Regal. I wonder who can get better MPG's, The Agent (aka WIFE) or me. The Regal or the xb.
I have 34,000 km (20,400 miles) on my 2011 CXL and am averaging 8.3L/100km or about 27.3 miles/US gal. Of note, I was getting better mileage BEFORE the required solenoid update was done. Not sure why, but it made my Regal a little thirstier.
My G8 GT (Traded for the Regal)
Average 14 MPG (Same exact drive as above)
This is quite a nice affect on my wallet
Hwy only test @75 mph 120 miles 32 MPG on the way back 28 MPG. Probably heat related difference. 32 MPG after dark, 28 during the heat of the day. Maybe wind? The speed was about the same both ways.
My turbo with 5k miles using corn gas gets about 18 MPG. A combo of highway and city. I think using the AC auto most of the time cuts down on the mileage. Went on a 500 mile trip and averaged about 24 MPG highway using regular gas.
