as of now I have a deposit for a track 2.0 and wanted to know is there a big difference between the v6 and 4s gas milage...i have to drive 35 highway miles to work and 35 miles back 5 days a week so it plays a big factor on choosing wich engine
there are a few threads floating around in the different engine forums about mileage. sadly for us 2.0 folk the 3.8s seem to be getting the same and in some cases (i actually think most cases) better mileage on the highway.
I get 23-24 mpg mixed in my 2.0. I use cruise control when I can. I do mostly suburban driving. Cruise around 50 and stop every couple miles or so and repeat toss in a few miles of highway driving and about 30 mins of bumper to bumper stop and go traffic every morning (when i'm in stop and go the average BOMBS. it goes from 24 down to 20 in about 5 minutes tops. it climbs back up when i drive it home in the evening and the traffic isn't so bad) and that's how i get the 23-24. My 94 camry got the same mileage...and it had 215k miles on it. Maybe a new air filter (cp-e's looks SOOO nice!) and a PA tune will really improve it....just wish i had the money.
I get around 18-19 mpg (60% hwy, 40% city) with my 3.8 V6 but I just hope that I'd get better mpg as it adds more miles.... (only have 1015 miles on it)
Mine was like that in the beginning, it slowly gets better. I run 87 octane 90% of the time. I'm amazed that my car gets better gas mileage then my Mom's 2008 Honda CR-V 4cyl. :rofl:
The GC is a sporty 2door that the majority of owners probably use as their daily driver. I'm sure a lot of people worry about MPG these days. Let's face it, the fact that we're driving around in a 20-30k car probably means we're not multimillionaires. :dunno:
At least in my 2.0 it depends on how heavy my foot is. My foot is generally quite heavy. I get crappy mileage. I can get good mileage - it's just not fun. What kind of driver will you be?
TrueDelta conducts a real-world fuel economy survey that, unlike others, includes driving style and driving conditions. Results so far for the Genesis Coupe:
I have been getting about 24-25ish with 50/50 driving with my 2.0T A/T . But most of the time I've had the windows down or A/C on so it could go up a bit.
mileage was on my mind shopping for this car -- not top priority -- but I didn't want a guzzler either.
depends on how you accelerate and how to handles on the highway, how often do you press the brake vs avoiding to brake.
canadian estimation of the 2L is 6.6L/100Km, works out to be 34mpg, but I don't think anyone on this site reported such value, you would most likely need to cruise at 50miles/hour on the 6th gear. V6 will burn more fuel since you have 100kg extra to accelerate everytime you do so, bigger engine = more friction etc...
tooooo many factor that I won't bore you with, but you will get people reporting contradictory values for this thread since no one drive with the same manner.
You have to compare with a same standard, and I don't think the same person has both 3.8 and 2L at the same time to give you that feed back.
The Canadian factory ratings are also in Imperial gallons. When comparing with Americans, you have to use US gallons since most of the south-of-the-border people refuse to believe there are any other gallons :rofl:
The fact of the matter is that the 3.8 gets better real world mileage.
The numbers on the window don't matter nearly as much as the average MPG rating that most of the owners are getting.
ok, i'm done playing devil's advocate... mpg was also a consideration for me, in fact it was the biggest consideration to begin with which is why i was about to get an 09 Civic EX. but after the totally uninspired test drive (i knew what to expect, had a Civic before, but was still in denial about it lol) my heart settled on the Genesis cause it combined decent mileage with way better performance.
my first 3 tanks of gas weren't awe inspiring... about 20-21mpg combined, with 75% highway driving. now i am up to about 23-24mpg combined. it's impossible to drive this car like a boring econo-commuter, but i'll take 23mpg combined in trade for a killer ride.
The only way to truely figure out your mileage is to run 2 or 3 tanks of fuel in all driving conditions. I average 320 miles on a tank in my 3.8 auto. (roughly 600km)
The mileage is good for what the car is, however if it was worse I wouldnt be happy. Once I start making more power Ill accept lower economy, gotta make some sacrifices for the extra jam.
I am not sure why all the folks with 2.0 are getting bad mileage. I drive 50 miles each way to work and home and am getting 27-29 mpg. When on the interstate drive about 80 mph. The car has 4000 miles on it right now and use 87 oct gas.
I think most of them wish they'd bought the V6 and drive the 2.0 way too hard. With the V6, no matter how fast traffic is flowing, I never really have to push the car to keep up.... I do push it fairly often, but that's different
Hi everyone about the Genesis Coupe i get any where 16mpg to 36mpg. The best i got my best 36mpg with my 3.8 base by going 55mph with cruse control that on highway, but my best city was 26mpg. My worst mpg on highway was 24mpg and city worst mpg was 16mpg because i was flooring it lol just outside city limit that end there speed limit which go for 5 mile until i get into city limit again.
I drove from San Diego to Mississippi, and I averaged 24-25 miles per gallon, and my car was loaded down with all of my crap (in the middle of a transfer).
I get 22-23 average with a fairly heavy foot in suburban midwest. I got 25-26 average in my four-banger Cavalier that I did not drive nearly as aggressively.
My highway trip "home" the Cavi got 30 mpg with the A/C on and the 3.8 gets 31.2 with the Climate Control on, for the same 280 mile drive.
