Gas Mileage, what do you get?

[sr20s14zenki]

Ok, so im just curious what some people are getting for gas mileage, mostly for hondas, but hey, throw it out there. I calculated 46 mpg and thats mostly hiway with some city, ie get off on peigan and take it to 72nd. here is my math


filled car full before the test, reset trip meter to 0
drove back and forth from crossfield to work, about 55k one way

today i filled the tank back up after 3 days, with a bit of driving around, it was at 300km, i fill it up all the time cuz my gas guage is fucked.

anyways, it took 16.30$, with gas at 96 centts/litre, lets say 16 litres

there is 3.7 litres in a us gallon, no? so lets round up to 4 litres in a us gallon, so 4 into 16 is 4, so i would say i used 4 gallons

300km divided by 1.609 is 186.45 miles.

186.45 miles divided by 4 gallons is 46.6 MPG...am i wrong? anybody comparable. This is in a 89 crx si with a d15z7 engine, good running order

I heard a rumour that Saab 93's are the most fuel efficient cars in the universe. Maybe "someone" here can attest?

haha You bastards!!!

I was hoping to be the first one to reference the 47mpg Saab in city driving!! :poosie:

I get 24mpg in City for my WRX!

[5fivespeed]

I got 445k on my Corolla with high spirited driving last week :)

[Supa Dexta]

15mpg avg I'd say.. Which ain't bad for the boat I drive. :dunno: I think thats right around the cross over 15mpg = 15l/100 or so..

[Gibson]

I've gotten down to 6L/100KM once, which is about 39 US MPG.

Or in the case of the Imperial Gallon, 47MPG.

Lol at bad math.

Anyways:

1990 300ZX Twin Turbo. About 14 mpg or 17L/100km. All city mileage, mostly driven conservatively with the odd "spirited" pull from a light.

Been running a tad rich.

[bashir26]

650KM on a 40L tank. So whats my MPG?

[RY213]

11L/100km or around 400km/tank in 08 WRX...

[sr20s14zenki]

around 40+ mpg

i rounded 3.7 litres/gallon up to 4/l per gallon to simplify.

[Kavy]

The woman gets a disgusting 40mpg in town (give or take i might be off a few mpg's)

I get around 25mpg in the subby and about 20 in the 135 :(

[sr20s14zenki]

My wife's maxima averages about 30 mpg. Its a 50 litre tank give or take, and she does 600+ km on a tank. pretty good for a 3.0L v6 and a 3100lb car

[HP2133]

mine does 13 L / 100 KM in the city
8.5 outside

[colinxx235]

mckenzie to u of c everyday and i'm running around 8.4-8.6L/100km

44L

[gpomp]

average: 7.8 L/100km
best: 6.2 L/100km

[topmade]

17-18mpg in my 07 Sienna.

[buh_buh]

Damn I was just thinking today about how I was getting a pretty decent average of 21/22mpg. Now after seeing you guys with 40+ it makes me miss driving a Honda.

But I guess for those of you who are getting twice as much mpg as me, at least I have twice the power :poosie: ...except that damn Saab.

[gpomp]

those of you reporting in MPG, is that US or imperial?

[nobb]

Used to get ~40MPG with my stock Potenza RE92 tires @32psi. Probably one of the lowest rolling resistance tires, but they suck in every other way. Then I upgraded to a set of Kumho Ecsta ASX @36psi and I am down to 30-35MPG. Probably going to get worse when I switch to my Blizzaks for the winter.

[ragu]

Average about 33mpg
Best ever 42mpg Calgary to Edmonton 110 km/h all the way!

[Supa Dexta]

10mpg from tires? I don't think so.. Are they flat?

[nobb]

Originally posted by Supa Dexta

Nope, I am running my new tires 4 psi higher too. Right after I switched the tires my MPG just dropped suddenly, same route to UofC everyday, same driving habits. Apparently the RE92s are a very low resistance tire....that's why the Insight Hybrid uses it.

[Isaiah]

Does low resistance = low traction?

[arian_ma]

I've gotten 400km on 42L of fuel consistently for the past 2 years in my S2K.

[Aleks]

10.5L/100kms 100% city driving mostly to and from DT so lots of stop and go.
Definatelly not easy on the go pedal.

Interesting that same driving style I got roughly the same if not a little worse on the 07 VW Rabbit. with 100 less hp.

:nut:

[HiTempguy1]

On the highway I can get over 700kms on 40-ish litres of fuel.

Last time I actually calculated it in my 1994 Civic CX, it was definitly above 40USmpg for highway driving. Drops down to about 30USmpg city driving since I drive 5 kms each way (short drives from dead cold).

Edit-
I should clarify the 30-ish USMPG is with STRICTLY city driving. Which is really impressive if you ask me in Edmonton.

US, 3.7854 L/Gal.

[inline6turbo]

Stock Rx-7 if I baby it I can push 400kms per 65L tank, normal driving 350kms


Rx-7 in sig if I baby it I can push 350kms per 65L tank, normal driving 320kms


Supra normal driving 450kms per 65L tank.


:cry:

Yay for prices coming dowwnn!

[bspot]

18L/100km

13mpg

I stop for gas A LOT lol.

[VWbloke]

Between 16MPG and 19MPG in the city depending on how heavy my foot is.

Cruising on the highway at a steady 140 km/h I get about 28 MPG as per the trip computer.

[DannyO]

I get around 21.3MPG or 11L per 100KM.

I was actually kinda shocked to get 500km out of about 55L in the city, I wasn't driving conservatively.

The worst I've got was around 15MPG, that was money well spent.:D

[sneek]

I think i am somewhere in the high 8 to 9 L/100KM range in the 2003 I4 Accord, with occasional spirited driving. The 2008 V6 Accord is a bit more thirsty.

[Proboscis]

2L per 130KM from the SW to the NE everyday.

[brownboi]

my 06 toyota highlander gives me about 450 - 500 kms a tank, depending on how heavy my foot is lol

If this is how I'm reading it you have the most efficient car I have ever heard of.

What the?!

[whiskas]

Average 30-35MPG in the city, 5mpg on the track.

As gpomp said, everyone posting their MPG numbers needs to clarify if they're talking about imperial or metric gallons.:whipped:

Using Ekliptix converter I get

I get 12 MPG or 18L/100km in the lex

[Akagi Redsuns]

My 1.8L econobox gets me around 7.3L/100kms in the city and I got it as low as 5L/100kms on the highway. Boring to drive when compared to the summer fun car though which gets all of 16L/100kms.

[TorqueDog]

My car gives me MPG specs in US-MPG. So it's 16.8 MPG or 14.1 L/100KM for my mixed city/fwy/hwy driving.

Sure sounds better when I say it gets 20 MPG (UK MPG) though. :p

50+ MPG in my 84 crx - its intense

the lower number is US MPG and the higher number is imperial MPG.

i agree

[Masked Bandit]

2005 Avalanche (5.3 L V8) - 14.3 L / 100 KM in town
2006 Frontier (4.0 L V6) - 12.3 L / 100 KM in town
2002 Suzuki Bandit 1200 - ~ 10 L / 100 KM in town (but this thing gets the shit beat out of it on EVERY ride)
2003 Honda CR-V - ~ 10 L / 100 KM in town. I'm not exact on this as it's the wife's car and she doesn't track it all that well.


I find the BIGGEST influence on fuel consumption is how I drive, not what I drive. A gentle foot can save at least 25%.

[C4S]

8.8L/100km in town for 1 car .. even I am not that gentle :D

The other one app. 11.5L/100 in town.

[CTSV]

29.16 miles per Imp gal averaging 73 mph over 300+ miles last week coming back from Vegas. 6 litre/400hp LS2 engine/4000lb car. Good thing they don't build them like they used to or mileage would have been 15 mpg like my 68 442.
City I get 13-14 litre/100km if I don't get hung up in traffic.
Road course lapping days 11 miles per US gallon.

[510-Trevor]

The Charger has averaged 12.5L/100km since I bought it, thats 22 mpg (imp) 99% city driving and includes Solo I events. On the highway at just under 120kph it gets 7.9L/100km or 35 mpg (imp).

[mekeni]

20 - 25 Mpg on the CRV

25 - 35 Mpg on the Accord

[jonnycat]

Average 15 L/100km. Best Highway 11.5l / 100km

06 Magnum. 5.7L V8

[suen_boi]

The average is around 30 mpg or 7.9L/100km if I mash the accelerator occasionally. It increases to 33.5 mpg if I don't.

[Supa Dexta]

I have to weigh my truck, but crew cab long box, 3/4 ton.. I dunno 6000 and some pounds?, and I only get 13 mpg if I'm going 120+... At 110 I see 16-18 generally. 10 towing likely.
