I made a 220 mile round trip yesterday and my Malibu crossed the 1700 mile mark. There was perhaps 10 miles of city driving, 130 miles of non-stop highway driving and 80 miles of two lane, mostly non-stop driving. I reset the Avg MPG display at the start of the trip.
Using the crusie control, I maintained a maximum speed of 60 mph. I tried to keep the LTZ in as high a gear as possible. I was extremely pleased with the fuel mileage.
At the end of the trip as I pulled into my driveway the DIC reported 30.8 mpg. The highest I noticed during the trip was 30.9 mpg. I truly believe I would have broke into the 31 mpg range if the trip was longer, as the DIC was climbing while still on the highways.
Anyone else care to report their V6, 6 speed MPG performance?
