Re: 2008 Malibu

Pretty much consistent the whole time. The only real break-in period was the first 500 miles, when I drove by the manual's recommendations, varying speeds, limiting max speed, no cruise, off the highway using rural roads to and from work as much as possible (including more stop and go than I see otherwise). Even then it was over 25 mpg. I'd love to speak about 'city' fuel economy, but I'm afraid my driving hasn't really hit what some consider city conditions over a whole tank, so when others are getting ~20 or less, I can't feel their pain.
