Hi guys.

I'm averaging 380 kms for 55 litres on my '05 manual with 9000 kilometers. I think that works out to 16mpg. Yeah, thats bad but rotaries have never been misers.

Just wondering if I'm worse or better than my fellow hosers...mileage wise.

 

I average about 300km on a tank but often less than that, mostly city driving this works out to 16km per liter. The car has 10k on it. I am pissed that they couldn't make the tank 70 or 80 liters. Economy is not much better on the highway as I always cruise at 139km per hour so the rpm are fairly high (4.5 or so if i remember correcty) . This car would need to have a seven gear SMG for good highway fuel economy.I can't imagine how pissed a person driving 180/200km/h on a autobahn would feel.

 

correction 16 liters per 100 km.

 

Usually about 325/ tank average.....mostly city stop/go traffic.

 

Your math is a little wacky.

380 km = 231 miles
55L = 12 Canuk gallons
231/12 = about 19 mpg.

I get the same number of Km, from 50 litres, I fill up when the light comes on = 21mpg.

My calculation is 100*55 litres/380km = l/100km = 14.47l/100km = 19.5 MPG (imperial)

OMG make it stop...another mileage thread!

 

Just can't get enough Mileage threads!

I collect 'em!

320 from 50 ltrs..city kms.

 

I win

12 500 km per HUGE GRIN and still counting. Thought Kilometrage threads were outlawed???

 

I average use of about 13.5L per 100KM. Getting around 400Km to 52L of gas in mixed highway and city driving. 20,000km on the car.

 

Best I got was 520km: then the fuel light came on. All Interstate driving.

 

I can do about 380km/50L but driving like a granny, ie. I'm in 6th above 60km. Otherwise I think 380km/55L is about right driving more like how the 8 should be driven. I do about 75/25 (city/hwy).

Personally I think getting 380km is good already, relatively speaking for this car anyways :p

 

524KM for me......once! All highway @ about average 140km/h 85mph.

Day to day 60-70% city 30-40% highway 315-330KMs per tank (50-53 litres)

 

Another pip in for the 380 KM per tank group. All urban cycle.

 

Thanks guy, and yes, my math sucks.

So 380 per 55 liters isn't so bad. My wifes SUV is a bit better, but it don't rev to 9000rpm's!

 

Ni0ce!
I got 480km once all highway. Was on the 400 up thru Barry to Sudbury

 

I've stopped tracking ! I enjoy the car much more without tracking. Now if I could only stop myself from reading these threads

 

Sadly, I have to track it because of business. Also, mileage tracking was the first thing that told me something was wrong with the MAF sensor on an older VW I once had.

 

420KM here on a full tank with Winter Tires mostly highway in -5 to 5 degree weather.

390km-410km average in winter driving with 17" tires. 20 highway/80 city...which is around 15L per 100km...

 

I avg 300KM like clock work (mostly stop & go, usually shift around 4000 RPM). All time record is 360 km with a few highway stints. I have 14000km on the car. Love the car, but the mileage/power ratio is disappointing no matter how you slice it.

 

I can get 400-425 km for 50 litres of gas.

But I do all my shifting at 4000 rpm.

I don't redline very often, I get too scared because the car starts going too fast. LOL

 

I'd be content getting 400Km per 50L but don't see it happening!!!!
