1998 Buick Lesabre Best 6-Man Car On Gas, Period.

July 29, 2008 about Buick LeSabre

I've had a 1998 Buick LeSabre for 8 years now, second owner. It is fantastic on fuel; if you drive it like grandma you really will pull 30 MPG out of it on the highway, but that is unrealistic. Real world combined driving nets about 22-26 depending. The fuel light, though, is something else. It comes on with four gallons remaining; just under 1/4 tank. This is pretty nice as it gives you lots of time to fill up. Only nuisance is that it "almost" becomes a "cry wolf" situation but not quite. I do wish they had changed it so that the light turns red from orange when there is very little left; GM fuel gauges are notoriously innacurate an this is no exception; I've had the heart-stopping moment of putting 17.7 gallons into it. Also for those of you like me who "pack" the tank, you can usuall put in exactly 1 gallon of fuel after the pump stops for the first time. Any more an it will spill.

Totally agree. Best car ever. I've had mine for 5 years and love it. I usually get around 22mpg driving back roads and 27 highway. However, mine does not have a gas light! I've gotten it down to where I have to put in 17.5 gallons with no light at all.

An fascinating dialogue is value comment. I believe that it is best to write more on this matter, it might not be a taboo topic but generally individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers kedgeedeadee

I get away with putting a full 18 into it, even when the light comes on, plus I run premium and you totally feel the difference. You will absolutely get 20 city/at least 30 highway
