I got an unholy 14.4mpg out of my last tank of gas. I don't drive meekly, the A/C's been on all the time, and it's been real humid out. I guess those three factors colluded to give me this figure.

we wouldn't complain if gasoline was cut in half... because then we'd be where we were just over a year ago.

That was normal for my 8. I was happy if I saw 15 or 16mpg.

14.5mpg? I get that most of the time unless there's a lot of freeway cruising involved.

same boat, i usually get about 50 miles out of a quarter tank and its my daily, oh well its worth it

I currently get 10 in my jeep....i can't wait to improve my mileage!!!

~16mpg if i drive like a grandma (was just a test to see average per tank all highway). Typically get between 14-15mpg. love every mile of it.

I think 13.5 was my record low. Not the worst vehicle I've owned though; my 89 Cherokee pulled 10 in the city.

get the accessport. Some of you with low mileage will also get low mileage even on highway. The cruise maps are designed to dump fuel after going into open loop. There can be fairly significant gains by tweaking it.

My last fillup was 18.3 mpg and I didn't baby it, and it was almost all city driving. An improvement of 3-4 mpg over what I usually got.

I get about 16 City, but it jumps up to 21 or so on the highway

JRichter

I get 14 all the time. And everytime I fill up, I tell myself I'm going to drive more efficiently but I just can't make myself do it. So I'm happy with 14.

Your wrong, we were complaining 4 yrs ago when the price was half what it is now. At that time my mileage was 12-13 mpg during my daily commute. Today, my mileage is 15-16 mpg. Of course, that is after 2 engine changes.

My worse tank was 160 miles.

That is 12mpg.

Don't cry.

My experience has been the same. I drive it fairly aggressively and try to redline at least once every trip, so I don't know if I'm just lucky . . .

Of course the way the roads around here are clogged with Betty Crockers in enormous SUV's and angry emasculated men in mini vans, the you can only be so aggressive.

The best I have ever done is 22.6 on a highway road trip. The worst I have ever done is 11 mpg in very spirited back country driving. That was all N/A.

Now my 8 is turbo'ed and running a very-rich-in-boost base map until I get it tuned. The vacuum portion of the tune is pretty lean, but needs work. That bit I'll likely do myself as it's more light-throttle driveability rather than might blow your engine X psi. On a trip over the weekend? 18.8 mpg mostly highway. I could definitely see my car still doing 20 mpg pure highway.

I wonder, though, how much people's mpg is the way they drive and how much is their car. I'd like to see the results of people car-swapping to see what MPG they get in other people's cars. A car that uses 25% more gas than another is not running well.

Another MPG thread?!?!?!

Hahaha. Sorry... couldnt resist.

I usually get 15.5-16 MPG in all city driving, and there is no way I baby it D:

New Yorker

Just got 19.6 mpg. Little higher than my normal 17-18.

alphamale

Yup. Me too. I drive conservatively for a little while and conclude that it's just not worth it to me.

alphamale

Damn.

I've been getting about 12mpg, but then, my foot's been welded to the floor. That happens when you haven't driven it in 4 months.

im2smart4u

I usually get 16-17 in town, and 20ish highway... and I have a fairly heavy foot. I always accelerate fast and brake fast. This isn't great, but a lot better than my last car.. 89 firebird, 8-10 in town, and 12-15 highway.
