Curated by Cadillac - Hand built CT5BW

[shbox]

Pretty sure Evergreen Metallic was an early years CT5 color not available on a V.

I would love that color with brown interior and bronze rims.

I will be going with evergreen.

I haven't seen the evergreen in person, but just saw an everlake lyriq in person at Holman Cadillac and oh my gawd that color looks amazing in person (much better than the rendering/video that you provided). I hope the evergreen looks just as badass for you!

I call BS!

I finally looked in detail at the renderings they sent and it always shows 390 miles to empty. On a CT5BW? Unless they're slipping you the new pansy hybrid model, that can't be true!

(seriously, those look awesome - congratulations and thank you for sharing the journey with us internet randos)

Got a milage range of 370 on a fillup, during a road trip from Houston to New Orleans. 5BW manual transmission.

Yes this can be done. I can get 26-28 mpg on flat highway under 80 mph. Hack: put it in snow/ice mode for best mileage while not using cruise control.

5 BW manual fill up after a Florida (flat) road trip, medium traffic, mostly cruise control at 70-75. It was a bit optimistic.... pulled out of the gas station and it dropped pretty quickly to 340 if I recall.

I just returned from a quick trip to California. I did see a range of 360 once. My best tank was heading out on I-8, cruise set a 80. That tank was 23.3 mpg....actual, not computer.

computers always lie. Its normally off by about 1 MPG

 

[shbox]

I track every fill-up and the computer is always more generous with the MPG than actual (averages 6.13% or 1.56 MPG higher). My previous ATS DIC reading was jus the opposite (actual better that the computer), but only by ~.7 MPG on average).

 

[Finally-a-V]

I know the computer (DIC) is off, that's way I use the old fashioned calculator. You know, gallons used divide by miles driven.

Yep, I use fuelio. I've been tracking my fusion since i bought it 12 years ago & will be tracking my ct5bw too. It'll be interesting going from 29 mpg average down to whatever I'll get in the caddy.

You need to change your thought process with the Blackwing. See how low you can go! That's the fun of this car.

Oh i already know it's gonna be way less. I'm more excited about the driving experience. I love my manual transmission fusion, so this is just going to be that on steroids.
