2010 Chevrolet Equinox MPG?

[ratko v]

Has anyone managed to get 32MPG with this car?
Whomever I asked they were experiencing 24-26 mpg hwy drive.
How can automaker claim false car economy? Is anyone (like EPA) checking real mileage? This looks like big fraud to me - do you agree?

Its an American car, you will never get good MPG. When they do those tests they are in perfect conditions going at a constant speed. That just doesn't happen in everyday life.

I just recieved my 10 2LT model with the 4 cylinder engine. It was built during the week of October 19th.

For my first week of work, which I drive 60 miles per day on roads with 55 mph limits but with red lights and some minor construction, I obtained 32.2 mpg on average (This was using the trip computer, I plan on checking with actual gas over a few tanks to verify the computer).

On the highway, if I reset the trip computer and then drive 10 - 20 miles, I can keep the mileage in the 33-34 mpg range at 60-65 mph. I have done all of my driving with the ECO button on.

The EPA tests have a variety of stops and starts. Even the highway test is not a constant speed. The standards are the same for any car. No need to single out the Americans here.

I had a Chevy Colorado which I could not get to meet the EPA mileage claims. My current 2010 Equinox can beat the milage claim and it is no where near broken in yet. My 1998 Olds Van still beats the quoted highway mileage claim after 12 years.
