Default Gr8t MPG

Hey gang!

I work at a Pontiac dealership and I get to drive these badboys everyday. And, as you can imagine, a frequent challenge is the the mpgs. "15 mpg in the city" I say, "is only an avg!!" And to prove the point, I took a G8 on a test drive around my dealership and covered about 9 miles in surface street traffic. As I was pulling into the dealership, the Avg. Mpg was at 17.2 and climbing.

I drove like an adult, most of the time, and I used cruise on short stretches. But it was definitely city driving!!

I want to take one out for a longer test drive, but the bosses don't quite see the necessity. I'll get back to you with an update.
