What's your MPG?
 

I just bought my car, and I slowly repairing the damage from the last owner. Right now I'm getting 20MPG, or maybe like 19.8. I haven't driven it that hard... Is this normal? I just need to get used to the car, and I think it will raise significantly. What MPG do you guys get?

40

i used to get 40 too :D :wall:

but now, anywhere from 19-28

Is that normal for a bike? I though they got better mileage than that.

Last weekend I got 23mpg all highway (Buffalo->Syracuse->Buffalo). Around town I typically get about 15-17mpg, and at the track I get like 8-10.

17-18 MPG

17-20 but I get 30 when I go on trips so I am not too worried.

Scooters and smaller CC bikes get up to 80 mpg
Cruisers will get 50 and up..
Sportbikes get from 40 - 60 mpg...

if you are doing 120 - 160 mph on a constant basis.. you get anywhere from 30 - 40 mpg

especially if you are bouncing off redline going down the street to the grocery store.

IT depense on how you drive.... If you drive like A Grand Ma You will Get 40 MPG...........


19 in city 32 in highway...

Re: Re: What's your MPG?
 

or if your y pipe is blown and you can hear hte car coming from half a mile.. you have no low end torque and little power in 1st whats so ever and if you start off on a hill you have to ride the clutch or the car will stall..

yes this will also give you 40 mph :)

Or if you push your car instead of putting in 1st gear or in Drive, and you push it for couple of miles yes indeed you get some nice MPG in your car.... :laugh:

95 SE 5-speed, 19-25 mpg

99 SE-L 5 Speed 25 - 34 mpg

99 GLE 24MPG City 32MPG Hi Way. I only drive hi-way around here, I dont like to make short trips unless im going to the Internet Cafe!?! Yeah

97 - 18-24 round town, 28-32 highway. Its weird tho, if u look at the graphs for fuel consumption from the tank the optimal speed would be low 40's for gas milage.

30hwy 22city

I get 27 highway and 17 city.
:king:

99 GXE 5spd: 20-24 city, 28-31 highway

99SE-L auto: 23-24, mostly city; up around 31-32, all highway.

update: just filled up; 368 miles on 14.9 gallons = 24.7mpg (mostly city too)
(even after 143,000 miles, baby :D)

i dunno bout mine.its about 330 miles per tank and i drive bout 50 city/50 highway.

I got 28mpg from my last tank fill. I'd say about 60% highway @ 70-85mph, 40% city.

23-24 mpg, 80% highway driving, 98 SE 5 speed :nervous:

97, Just measured 23mpg

Bout 60% highway.

So why would my milage be lower than nearly anyone else's here with only moderately demanding driving?

maybe you need a tune up? check tire pressure while you're at it as well.

i get about 16-17, depending on how i drive.

mod it any
 

Did you do any mods to your car to improve gas millege??

Avg. 23-25 mpg. It must be the spirited driving that keeps the numbers low....and air resistance too.

+HOT weather!!!!

Re: mod it any
 

Yes it's called pushing your car for 20 miles and drive it for 20 miles...:D :laugh: Just Joking

Actually, car mileage goes down a fair bit in the winter months. I guess it's an Air Fuel Ratio thing. The more oxygen there is, the more fuel needs to be squirted in to maintain that ratio. And since air is more dense in the winter than summer, that would stand to reason....I think. :)

But the AC nearly doubles the rpm's of the idle.

On my old engine i used to get no more than 18 mpg, and when it was about to die i only got 9 miles cause i was running super rich, with the new engine i'm getting 22mpg with a mix of city and highway. On the highway my average speed is 90 with jumps up to 130 and in city i floor it most of the time from every light <Grin>

i get 14mpg....it's in for a tune-up right now, getting the NGK Copper's thrown in as well

I got 14 MPG before when all of my tires were at different pressures, but now I get about 16 when I use the a/c a lot and about 18 when I use it a little. Hopefully it'll go up when I finish my tune-up, put in a new knock sensor, and new O2 sensors :D

95 SE with 211000 miles. I get 26-27mpg. I drive 60/40 freeway/street

I've tracked my mileage for over a year now.
I've got my list of mods in the sig below (or, check website!)

in about 14 months, I've averaged 18.2 MPG.

BUT, some caveats:

-- I've had MAJOR MAFS issues, which is why I started to track my mileage.
-- I've recently enjoyed 29 MPG on a road trip going about 80mph the whole way.
-- I started tracking mileage at 171000 KMs.
-- Right now, I have 195 000 KMs.

what I expect as "normal" for my car to be about 21.5 MPG.

take what you will...
FLO_BOY

you guys either have heavy feet or you cars get terrible mileage. I used to get 22-22mpg. believe it or not, after i installed the y pipe I started getting 26-27. But then again my job moved so had to take the freeway more than before. I don't think i could live with 17 mpg.

22-22? You could just say plain old 22, you don't have to repeat yourself :p A new exhaust system would help, but I'm broke and parents don't want to pay for it :(

:D
