Now that we've got a lot of Gen 2 owners with lots of experience, I'm wondering if GM underpromised and overdelivered on range for the Gen 2.
I may trade up and am debating whether the range difference between a '15 Gen 1 and a '17 Gen 2 is worth the substantial cost difference. GM (although really the EPA I guess) "underpromised" with Gen 1 on range, but I'm wondering it's more "on target" with Gen 2.
My Gen 1 regularly exceeds it's "38" EPA rating--even with majority highway driving (granted, I am now a right-lane hugger *hurumph*
). About 10% better on average, although closer to 20% when I had the OEM Goodyears. Granted, when temps plunge I start dropping, but still manage 33-34 with heavy Bridgestones now. On the OEMs, the Winter was the only time I would actually get the actual EPA estimated.
So Gen 2 owners, are you regularly getting over 53? What about in the winter?
