overall mpg = 25.70
best tank = 27.279
worst tank = 23.475


Driving a little faster, and not being a slave to the trip computer mpg as much, so I think this is why my overall mileage has went down, but i think it has leveled off in that range of 25-26 every tank. I changed the oil and rotated the tires this morning. No further comments than those listed above positve or negative. I have recommended the car to others in that type car.

 

Does the 07 LaCrosse sunroof have a deflector from the factory or is it an aftermarket item? I picked up a used '07 from a local Buick dealer and they told me that it doesn't come with a deflector from the factory. I saw a Malibu with a sunroof and factory installed deflector and noticed that minehas the mount but no deflector. Just wondering..........

 

im sure you can find one online. but dealer probably has one available. maybe they just meant that its not standard.

No problems.

Just got two new projects (Construction Proj Mgr) that are a good drive from the office, and each other, so my miles should go up as well as my mileage.</DIV>

 

Mine does not have a deflector, and it was a factory option. I usually roll the back windows down a crack, to reduce the buffering sound.

It will probably be a truck /SUV. This is a good site, some interseting reads, and good information.</DIV>

7 month update - final update as I am changing jobs adn the car stays with the company.


Miles= 23695
gallons = 927.91
mpg = 25.54


It has been a good car, rides very well, very quiet, 3.8 is smooth and can move. I would recommend this car to anyone in this size and price range.


With my car allowance I bought a 2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. Very nice leather seats, rides good, should do well for my job as a constrcution project manager.
