[QUOTE="TopHat, post: 31706, member: 5783"] I have a 2019 1.5 L AWD LT turbo and mileage is never under 20 mpg with all driving urban. Usually 24-27 mpg and whole lot of idling for 3 grandkids A/C or heating comfort. Mileage depends a lot on oil. Mine urges 0W-20 and I've used it for 6 years. Still running same plugs. Holy guacamole, you had a serious problem with that gas mileage. I suspect you had a gas leak because if all that petrol going through the engine, you would have had horrible performance. Do use top tier gas because of the cleaning agents; it's why recommended in your manual. Also, you probably have direct fuel injection so even that fuel won't was your valves like port injection would. Keep a check on them. Of course you are running an EV now so not applicable. The Equinox is my daughter's, I drive a 2022 Escalade ESV. I looked at the EscaladeIQ EV and was impressed but too many things wouldn't work for me. Loved the turning radius though. Good luck.
