I guess no one want's to guess. I was somewhat disappointed via the guage. Last summer(July or August) on a one way trip just a 1/2 mile past the office the impala indication 35.2 mpg with 4 people, one including my wife so AC was running the whole time. Today round trip indicated was 32.0.

I really thought it would beat the stratus, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm needing a replacment car and was leaning toward a Cobalt/Aveo, but a local dealer has 2011 impala's for 12k, the Traction Control, ABS, quietness etc make it tempting and only costing 6ish mpg make me question my plans. I've found hail damaged aveos or cobalts with 1/2 the mileage for only 1k over 1/2 the cost.

I'll refill 10 miles from home tomorrow night and find how close the gauge & pump agree.
