2016 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I'd love to have better mileage; but, I also want cargo capacity and comfort. That's the tradeoff. The newer Traverse has a 9-speed transmission that no doubt helps it get a few more miles per gallon but it also has auto stop/start (which I'm not fond of). Mileage on the trip to and from New Jersey was right at 24 MPG--when I remember my last Chevy (IROC-Z28 with L-98 engine) I realize that was the same mileage I got from a car that had little utility. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Fuel economy literally sucks!! I guess it's the price you pay for driving a big vehicle with all-wheel drive. I also own a new GMC 4x4 quad cab truck with a 6 liter engine. My truck gets better fuel economy than my 3.6 liter Traverse. Maybe I just got stuck with a lemon. I'm told that fuel economy is supposed to get better once the engine gets more km's on it. I doubt it will improve very much at all to notice any savings at the pump. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

2009 4dr Sedan 164-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I opted to get the 4 cylinder 6 speed automatic because of the higher EPA rating and I have a fairly long commute to and from work. see full Pontiac G6 review

4-speed automatic FWD		 Getting 25 city miles see full Pontiac G6 review
2007 2dr Coupe 224-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Amazingly it gets 30+ on the highway. I usually drive in stop-and-go traffic but still get 20 mpg easily. see full Pontiac G6 review
2006 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Even with a 6 cylinder, and my overzealous driving, I regularly got 28-29 MPG. This is a mix of highway and city driving in a very hilly area. see full Pontiac G6 review

4-speed automatic FWD		 The V6 I drove had MPG ratings slightly worse than the 4-cyl models I was looking at. see full Pontiac G6 review
