Commander w/3.7L V6 gas mileage
I looked over the real world mpg thread, but was mainly interested in the 3.7L V6 Commander. What kind of real world city/highway do you get? How does it perform on the highway (does the 3.7L V6 work well, or is it a bit underpowered?).
I was interested in the Chevy Traverse, but I've noticed that vehicle probably gets something like 20-22mpg highway and the prices I'm seeing around here are way too high imo. I've noticed a few Commanders in my area on craigslist (listed by dealers) for $20k and less for 2008's and 2009's.
I like the seating in both the Traverse and Commander in that you can get three passengers in the middle. 2 in the back is OK for me w/the Commander. I'm currently driving an 8 passenger 2002 Chevy Venture minivan w/3.4L V6, which gets at least 25mpg highway and I've gotten as high as 30mpg if I keep it under 70mph. It's city mpg isn't that great as I'll get something like 18mpg (which may not be bad to some) or sometimes a little less in the winter.
