I missed that V6 he was driving....... That V6 is currently very rare right now.. the majority shipped are V8 I believe. Guess Pontiac felt that can attracted more people to the big engine at this time.

But honestly, despite it be a V6, he should be getting better MPG than that of 15 miles..... imagine the V8 getting lower than that. We couldn't be pointing to Durango mileage now are we?

What Specs say compared to actuality is a big factor wouldn't you say?

 

True enough, I suppose.
but I'll still stand by this statement - it would explain the situation in full to me.

 

By the way, one of guy on that forum mentioned there was an aftermarket Procharger for this G8 already. I found that surprising for the first of these vehicles are out on the street just this week.

The best thing about this vehicle is that it looks better than a Beamer for that price range.

You know what, owning a used old vehicle is having a peace of mind where you park compared to owning a new one. Everyone wanting a $30,000 new Camaro will freak out where they parked and the dings they get from road rock chips.
