The Buick - '13 Buick LaCrosse eAssist
90 day: 33.05 mpg (US)

I bought a '13 LaCrosse eAssist a week ago, and had my first fillup this morning. 30.88 overall, slightly above the EPA combined rating of 29. I'm noticing that this car is a real gem on the highway - I could probably beat the 36 EPA highway rating on a long trip. However, the weight makes acceleration a FE killer. With me and some gas, it's over 4100 pounds. When accelerating from a stop or at low speeds, the onboard instant FE readout can easily slip to the single digits unless I'm mindful of what I'm doing.
