Trips where mostly interstate (90%). Speed typically cruise @ 74-75mph.[ATTACH=full]979[/ATTACH]I no longer have this as a work setup, but it did pretty good considering. The issue with the Nox's is simple physics, they will never get the EPA ratings going 70+. We have alot of drag, not a steller coefficent, and large frontal area....Its a great setup around town for a SUV, most people are doing this and reporting in the 24-26 range, which is great imo...but on the highway our mileage does not increase similar to what most people are used to with a car.Here is my latest work car2012 Impala w/ 3.6 VVT SIDI (301 HP with 6T70e Tranny...it moves even with the final of 2.48 :shocked<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[ATTACH=full]980[/ATTACH]EPA rates the Nox @ 32 while the Impala is rated 30....but with my driving style (75 on interstate), the car has an easier time obtaining those numbers, while the Nox could not. The car as well has 300hp, and is a 3.6L. My V6 Nox has engine envy when compared to the Impala....The low end power is great, and not once does this engine (with same tranny other hten final of 2.48 vs 2.77) gear search. GM got this one right...I have different opinions on the others tbh</blockquote>
