2008 Pontiac Vibe (Record Results)

A brief summary of the first half of the rental...

2008 Pontiac Vibe Automatic, FWD
230 miles (Kansas City, MO to Wichita, KS)
Average Speed - 62 MPH
Average Cruise - 70 MPH
FE = 36.3 MPG

This is with the Cruise set for 70 MPH and no hypermiling techniques (95% Highway).

Aside from the Prius, this is the best average segment in 2 years of rental testing (SG verified).

More to come -- with city driving and the return leg tomorrow...
