Mileage, or the lack thereof.

Java Junky · 09-30-2006, 06:59 AM

Okay, all jokin' aside, what's everybody REALLY gettin' for mileage. I mean, I know we didn't buy it for puttin' aroun' mindin' the gas gauge, but I'm gettin' the impression that everybody's doin' better at the pumps than I am.
I've been avoidin' really bein' precise about it, as when I rough-out the numbers while I'm at the pumps it always points to around 20 or maybe occasionally 21 to the gallon.
It is whut it is . . but am I that far off the mark?
Thanx in advance for the input.
Be well.

I get about the same, and if I really watch how I drive I can get up to 25 mpg

Halo · 10-02-2006, 09:59 AM

After the SC, I get around 16 mpg if pure city, 22 if pure hwy.

approx 10L/100Km....about 23mpg mainly city driving.

I'm averaging around 23mpg. If I use up a tank specifically on the highway, I get upwards of 26-27 if I leave it on cruise control.

Well, I'm still on the tank of gas the dealer put in it, and it's not looking good for the MPG. Then again, I'm driving it like my ex-wife's lawyer is chasing me. On my next tank I'll see if I can maintain the discipline to shift at owners-manual speeds and see what I get. More later....

Many thanks folks. I guess I'm not that far off the mark. But I deserve it. That's what I get for payin' any attention to the gauges.
Umm-m-m . . Tim . . but what if it actually IS your ex-wife's lawyer?
Be well folks.

I must be averaging @ 20+ MPG or less, cruising at 90s plus doesn't help much, but I do like to floor the accelerator pedal all the time. The noises from the exhausts are intoxicating everytime! Petro is cheaper then ozaka, what the hell
