on other forums, specifically thetruthaboutcars.com. Not sure what the disconnect is. The 2.3t or T in a 9-5 is simply not capable of achieving 39-45mpg even in ideal circumstances. He's either using imperial gallons or is just not good at "the maths". Either way, this has been pointed out to him before, but he keeps trotting this out there.
I've owned 3 9-5s. A healthy, well-tuned 2.3T with good, properly inflated tires, at a steady 65mph-ish, windows up and no A/C use has given me an average mpg figure of 32, max.
Remember also that the revised EPA estimated mpg values for the 9-5 2.3T are 17city/25hwy/20comb. 39-45 mpg is fantasy.
