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

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

24/33 for the manual transmission are pretty good fuel economy numbers. I beat the highway numbers on a long trip by a few points if I keep it at 65 mph (a/c on). see full Pontiac G5 review

The G5 blends the mileage and power that I was looking for in a car that would do primary duty for commuting to work and back. Was looking to get 30-33 mpg. see full Pontiac G5 review
