Simon Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 It's not uncommon for brand new cars to have horrible gas mileage as the engine breaks in. I wouldn't worry about it, at least not until you've gotten to the 2nd oil change. My brother-in-laws Titan was getting BRUTAL gas mileage for the first 10,000Kms.....but it's settled in much better since. Remember as well, it's not a race car.....go easy on the throttle, and you'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Very true. They didn't tell you that at the dealership? It'll improve slightly as the engine fully breaks in and gets all nice and smoothed out. I wouldn't expect to break 20, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb77 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 4000 mi & 14-15 city (what I mostly drive) and 17-19 hwy, on a good day. Drive into a 25-30mph wind on the expressway going 80-85, expect 12. I'm an aggressive drive so hopefully your results will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decherd_pathfinder Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I've been getting about 19 running around town. If I treat it real easy, I get 22 between home and work. I don't treat it well very often. Just can't help but goose the ZV7. It just wants to GO !!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
