Has anyone done anything successful to improve their gas miliage like the green filter or anything promising, I have an AWD and the mileage sucks.

Something is not right if you're only getting 12 mpg. I average 15 mpg city driving and can get 18 mpg highway if I keep it under 80 m/h.

I'm new to the CX-9 game, 2nd post.
My Traverse I had a few days ago got around 15-18 MPG City and on highway trips I could get 25+ at times.
My CX-9 is getting 13.7 MPG according to readout, it's horrible. I'm still on the tank I got free after buying the truck.
K&N air filter may get me a few more but what else you guys doing? Using high test, taking all the extra weight out of the car?

don't depend on the readout; I find it doesn't refresh often enough.
do the math yourself. fill up tank (regular 87 octane is fine, no benefit to higher octane in these cars), set odometer to zero. drive to almost empty, fill up again and see how many gallons it takes. divide mileage by gallons.
the biggest single contributor to MPG is DRIVING STYLE. the CX-9 will get 24-25 highway, 15-17 around town. if you're getting less, it's how you're driving.
there are NO TRICKS to better mpg. as long as you keep it maintained (plugs, filter) the rest is all on you.
