If you maintain 65mph on the highway this car will do an honest 30mpg. Amazing. see full Chevrolet Malibu review

Amazing fuel economy for a mid-sized peppy V6 engine. Good compromise of more than adequate power and well-above average fuel economy. Reviewers have noted the tranny is tweaked to favour fuel economy over towing ability -- perfect for most drivers. see full Chevrolet Malibu review
