GM admits they dipped their hands into the fuel economy jar and pulled out a couple more MPGs than they should have for the 2016 Enclave. Well, I guess dinner is spoiled now.

GM determined the SUVs were sold with an overstated fuel economy of 1 to 2 miles per gallon, so compensation will be offered based on the difference between advertised and actual miles per gallon. Estimates are 135,000 customers purchased or leased the SUVs and 40,000 more vehicles are currently used for corporate fleet vehicles.

GM promises to work with the EPA to correct their labels and will reportedly compensate 135,000 owners, including those that own a 2016 Enclave.
