What gas mileage do these get?

[mejh63]

I have owned ford focus with the mazda duratec engine that ran 250K+
bought the mazda 3 because the newer focus's had tranny issues.
Have not owned a GM product since my 1991 saturn SL.
Did not research much because of the opportunity.
I could be dead wrong!

Ok, you are forgiven. Don't worry. It is a good engine.

I get 33-34mpg on my 2nd Gen Equinox, even after 13 year, 215k miles. Key is high quality preventative maintenance, premium oil/filters, change every 5k, and use Top Tier premium, non ethanol fuel. It will pay for itself in the long term.

2020 1.5L:
29.3 for my last tank.
28.1 is my average since I bought it in March 2024 (8821 miles since).
33 on looong highway trips (I'm sure I do well on short highway trips too, but the local milage brings it down).

I took my 2018 on an 88 mile drive that was 99.5 % highway 55 to 65 mph and almost always with the Cruise Control and A/C on. Topped off at the beginning and at the destination. I took 2 gallons of fuel and there were 2 people in the car. A few months later I took the same trip but in with 4 people in the car. This was during the winter so no A/C. Surprised again, it used 2 gallons and I couldn't squeeze another drop into the tank .

I am on my first take of the one I just bought, and it's claiming 33.6mpg. I will caluclate after a fill, but that seems pretty high! wow!

Purchased my 1.5 turbo last year used and averaging 28.7 mpg and the car info system is claiming 28.9 mpg, city rush hour driving

My 2017, 3.6 gets about 14 in town, 22-23 hwy. Been that way since day 1. Bought new. I do use the remote start to cool down / heat up so I'm sure that hurts some.

I just bought a 2022 Equinox RS AWD in January and I get 29-30 mpg in town and 35 mpg on the highway.

Hello. I own a 2018 1.6L turbo diesel Premier Equinox bought new in 2018that has over 40,000 miles on it. I get 33 to 38 in city driving and 48 to 57 highway. We love the power and economy with this engine. I know quite a bit about mine and one thing is that it is significantly heavier than you 1.5L gasoline version. It only makes sense that would give you better than typical gas mileage. Especially if you do not drive with heavy loads of people or other items in your vehicle. I have been pleasantly surprised at the fuel economy that I have gotten with the highest being 57.9 mpg on a trip.

thanks for all the feedback!
wow, this is amazing, my second tank is on it's way to 35mpg. Ok, summer driving.. Local roads are 60-65mph There is stop and go in here, but probably above average highway.

I am happy to hear that. I used to be a GM guy with an '85 Olds Calais, and a 1992 Saturn SC. The "Iron Duke" in the Calais was good for it's time.
