Default Re: Milage When Driving Fast

I have a coworker with an '07 SE V-6 who drives from Austin Texas to Columbus Texas daily and he "claims" he gets about 32 MPG. He is not a slow driver and I am sure he is driving between 75 and 85 most of the time.

I, on the other hand, drive from Houston Texas to Columbus Texas and try to stay between 65 and 70 miles per hour most of the way. I get around 35 to 40 MPG depending on the wind.

I just drove from Houston to Dallas and averaged 43 MPG going to Dallas with a tail wind and 38 MPG going from Dallas to Houston with a head wind. Both trips were driving about 65-70 miles per hour. I did get 46 MPG for about 75 miles on the trip to Dallas after refueling 75 miles out from Dallas.

I am sure the V-6 gets great mileage on the highway, and would be an excelent choice for a "fast" driver. Remember the '07 V-6 cars have a new transmission that is supposed to be very smart and adapts to your driving style.
