MPG
Anyone else getting below avg MPG? The most I have gotten is 25.7 MPG on the indicator and that was on road trip from Moorpak to Solvang to Hearst Castle and then back to Moorpark (about 380-400 miles). The car is auto and stock with only after market air intake installed.

I's suggest you check your mileage the old fashioned way ...... fill to click off, note mileage, drive, fill to click off, note mileage, note fuel used ...... divide the little number into the big number. Making that trip with an auto, you should be getting from 31.4 to 39.7 MPG. humfrz |

OP, EPA fuel economy is ~27mpg mixed driving for an automatic, if you can set the cruise control for 65mph and leave it there for 95% of a tank of gas you will absolutely see >32mpg. If you take your car to the track and drive it hard you will see <13mpg. I do not believe anything is wrong with your car. |

LOL. I wouldn't mind the low MPG if there wasn't some slow drivers in the canyons and not allowing me to have fun. Need to make that trip again on a weekdays..

I'm beginning to think I have the magic mileage edition though since I seem to be outside the norm.

My old commute AVERAGED 25 mph, I never saw north of 45. No guessing either, my 25 mile commute took me 1 hour during peak traffic (thank god for flexible workplaces, <30 minutes if I left home before 6am). It would have been great to brag about an average of even 30 mph, and sounds like you average closer to 40+. You're right, there's not much trouble involved in getting over 32mpg, other than changing your life around to reduce traffic. And based on OP's 2nd post in this thread, sounds like he's got a pretty heavy foot to boot. And before you cry 'But Atlanta has the worst traffic in the nation!' statistically Atlantans spend ~25% less time in traffic than LA/SF citizens per the first google result that shows up. |

Nope not going to claim that because I don't drive in Atlanta traffic. I go the opposite direction, driving 80 miles round trip away from Atlanta. True I rarely sit still which is the real "drinker" of gas on a commute.

i've been averaging 23 for a year or so now .. the first three years I averaged 27.
Not sure what happened but im hoping my 60k spark plug & coil pack replacement maintenance helps it out.
