Good to know my Malibu fuel usage is "on par" with yours. Can't wait till summer to see the MPG increase. Like his niece, I'm loving the Malibu

That 1.5L DI turbo is a new game in a lighter car. I have a similar version of that engine in a 2018 Equinox and its capable of better MPG than models a couple of years ago.
2015 2.5L Malibu: 27 MPG average over many fill-ups on Fuelly.com
2017 1.5L Malibu: 30 MPG compared
Ah. Okay, gotcha. Thanks for the info.
