How many MPG can Pontiac Aztek make in local and on highway?
chen l asked:
I just got a 2003 Pontiac Aztek. I found it really cost too much oil. I was wondering how many MPG is normal for this kind of car? This is the first time I have SUV.
Car manufactures get their MPG for new cars going down hill with the wind. So, up hill toward the wind use more. Everyone gets different according to their driving habits. To know what you really would average. Fill up your tank and write down the Mileage. Drive until you almost empty and refill. Write down the Gallons it take to refill and the mileage. Subtract the first mileage from the second and divide that number by the number of gallons. This give you your MPG according to your driving habits.
Example;
Fill-up @ 10,000 miles.
Re-fill @ 10,500 miles
10,500 / 10,000 = 500 miles driven
20 gallons to re-fill
500 / 20 = 25 MPG
I hope my math is correct?
I own a 03 Aztek and just love it. The link below is accurate. Hope that helps!
