07 sonata I had rented last week to run to van island was showing 6.0-7.0 most of the time, going from edmonton to kamloops, and that was going pretty good, 120-130 a lot of the time.. Then I filled at chevron and it went to 8+... :(

51 MPG US

1998 Dodge Neon DOHC 5 speed.

Drove from Calgary to Rocky Mountain House and back and drove the rest of the work week on the same tank. I ended up driving 650 km on 30 L. I still have the receipt from when I filled back up and logged my kilometers. With the original engine I used to average 35 MPG in the city and 40-45 on the highway. With the new engine I average 28 MPG in the city and 35 on the highway.

I have no idea how that got posted by cfish since my laptop sits at home all the time and nobody else uses it and I don't have any room mates or anything like that or any friends that were over today (cfish's join date). I am also on a WPA/encrypted lan.

Last tank on the Fit got me 35.4 MPG

512.5 kms on 34L of gas.

All city driving and most of the time going from my house to the LRT station 8kms away, she barely has time to warm up so longer driving would yield much better economy.

wth...you guys get good mileage..

The G35 gets about 11.5 - 12.5 L / 100km driving mostly to and from downtown during rush hour from McKenzie.

The FX35 gets about 10 - 11 L / 100km average.

The best I've seen is on 01 Intrepid R/T - 7.5 L/ 100 km... 620 kms from Calgary to edmonton and back.

Vent the tank and you can go even further!!!!!!!! I bet 1400 km is attainable if you drive very conservatively.

I usually get around 5.5L/100km running around the city.

I'll have to ask my brother, he drives it 99% of the time. I remember vaguely that it gets the same distance as the GTI for hard driving vs pussy driving, but the tank is a lot smaller. So you can probably do the math and figure it out :).

I have to say I am impressed a supercharged G35 gets better mileage than a stock one. lol


As for my 2006 325i, I have had a few tanks over 700km when it is mostly highway driving. Around 7L/100km is the best it does. My average is usually around 9.5-10L/100km though.

And the best my 2006 Expedition ever gets is around 12-13L/100km when on the highway around 120-130km/h. Average around the city though is 17L/100km and while pulling my trailer (which is what it is mainly for) I get between 24L/100km and 32L/100km depending on how fast I am going (that range is the difference between cruise at 90km/h and cruise at 125km/h).

11.35L/100km -> 20.72 MPG

Mixture of driving it like it was stolen, and casual driving.

Current tank is sitting at 324 km with about 5 liters left, so maybe I will beat that. That is with a cruise in which it was accelerating aggressively, hard stops, hard corners etc. Another cruise from Edmonton to stratotech following a lancer who did the speed limit, and back home was more booooost.

Car doesn't really vary gas mileage easy driving versus hard driving

nope i definatley havent taken it to race city yet... maybe this week. my one wheel has a small flat spot tho (goddamn calgary roads :banghead: ) so im not sure if i'll even run it

edit: did the g35 have silver mirror tint? if so he's running greddy twin turbo's with 544whp... must have had 0 traction!

Saturn Aura XE 3.5, city plus Deerfoot, gets me 9.8/100 over 550 kms. I've done a lot of highway with the Aura and it gets 7.3/100.

With the Saturn Astra, it gets 6.4/100 over 450 kms. Never done pure highway with this yet.

My driving style is pretty conservative.

With my Astra I get 7.1L/100 km at best in the city and that is with a lot of coasting and engine braking and really slow acceleration. Basically hypermiling without drafting big trucks and shutting off the engine. I can only get better than that if I only drive it to work and back, then I get 6.3/100. If I do any other driving, it is up around 7.

Pulled this badboy of a tank today:

1001.1 km with 100% city driving. Costed $66 to fill up after this (1.41/L of diesel). I probably could have reached 1030 or something if I kept going.

Forkdork you're killing me......... yeah in my F150 I get like 16 mpg US in the city, 22 mpg highway, but I just bought a new tuner, air intake, new plugs, and some trans fix oil so hopefully I can improve a bit.

My rental Impala that I have for a week:

Cruising at 165 km/h - 8.5 L / 100 km

At 120 km/h - 7 L / 100 km

My 95 Volvo turbo:
7.4L/100 (32MPG) @ 110km/h
6.5L/100 (36MPG) @ 140km/h
15.3L/100 (15.4MPG) Average per tank

I was shocked that my car was doing better milage at 140! Unless my Gauge is messed up.:dunno:


87 Jag XJ6:

11.2L/100 (21MPG) @110

Jag is a thirsty bitch!

No. You want litres per 100km, so litres over kilometres. In this case it is 60L / 550km (x100km) = 10.91L/100km.

Okay, now that I've just filled up, I have some numbers for my car.

Car: 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i hatch
Fuel Economy Seen: 8.2L/100km or 28.68MPG (imperial)
Over what Distance: 667.5KM
Driving Note: All city mileage, Driving Miss Daisy style (ie: no speeding, no heavy acceleration, shifting at 3000RPM except in gears 4 and 5, coasting on neutral whenever possible).

I wonder what else I have to do to get 8.0L flat! Hahaha :rofl:

I've rarely taken the V on any decent trips, only drive it in the nice weather and mostly spirited city driving. Lowest I've seen (instantaneous reading) is 8L/100km cruise set to 95km/h on Hwy 3 in BC. Highest I've seen is WOT, its.... gulp..... 49L/100KM :) But more relevent, 300km up the highway keeping up to a BMW and MB flying past everyone 20L/100km, then the return trip cruise set to 120km/h got me double that, 10L/100KM. Since getting the car my average is 18L/100km

Its definetly a thirsty car, and drinks 94 when I can find it. Wich is why I drive my Beretta's as daily drivers they get 26 and 31mpg on the highway, V6 auto and 4Cyl manual.

7.8L/100km from Cranbrook to Nelson in my 2007 Impreza 2.5i, going 110 to 125 with a few high rev passes...could probably get it down closer to 7.1L/100km (ie 40mpg) if the speed limit and no passing was involved.

I do mostly highway driving since I use my bike for basic groceries and short commutes.

On my C5, I'll get 7.3L/100km (~32MPG) and I'll get 30MPG on my Legacy GT. Both use 91 octane.

I got my personal best this weekend! Made it all the way to Vernon before I had to fill up. Went ~128km/h until the park, and then ~105km/h after that.

9.9L/100km!
