Default Re: What Gas Mileage Are You Getting With Your Vue?

Howdy folks:

My wife got a 2007 Vue Hybrid and we have taken it back to the dealers 4 times complaining of the terrible gas mileage it gets. The best we ever did was 24MPG and that is doing 85 on the highway. Typical city mileage has been around 17 to 18, and we don't do much hwy driving so I really can't give you any numbers for that. Dealer had the car test driving it and it did about the same. Mind you we log every thank, and even when I drive the car the mileage is still the pits. I've even pumped up the tires to make them harder and it still does not make any difference.

I'm not new to hybrids as I have a 05 civic hybrid that gets me around 44mpg. To add insult to injury, the dealer in the last test drive crashed the vehicle with airbag deployment (not their fault, some moron ran a stop sign).

My wife is fighting with Saturn now since we wanted to lemon law the car anyway given the terrible performance in terms of gas mileage.

I'm happy to see that many of you get numbers that I was estimating from the EPA sticker on the vehicle. I guess we just got bad luck with a bad one.
