18.5 mpg?
What is everyone else getting for mileage?
Im getting average 18.5 in town and 20 highway. Seems a little too far off from the 30/34 we were all told when we bought the car. I have 2k miles on my car everything is stock other than a perrin crank pulley I use only chevron 92 octane w/ 10%Ethonol fuel I guess I was just wondering what other people were getting for mileage?

I am getting about 22mpg in mixed driving. 18.5mpg means you are having too much fun!

I've got 575 miles on the clock and on my 2nd fill up. I'm getting 25.5 mpg average from the meter. I do 80 city and 20 hwy. Well really 80 stop and go and sometimes hwy.
BTW, what is the range for a full tank of gas on our cars?

your mg seems pretty off. I'm getting about 34mpg but that's with mostly highway driving and keeping it light on the throttle. Obviously if you peel off at every stop sign and red light or doing 85mph you're not gonna be getting good mpg

Well. The last tank of fuel I have been trying quite hard not to drive crazy. and havent seen any improvement.

I live in the country and most of my driving is 2 lane 55mph type roads with some in town cruising. (I'd say about an 80/20 split) I'm pretty impressed with mine at an average of 33mpg. It sounds like you have a really heavy foot, or something is wrong.
Oh, my car is an MT, bone stock, and using either 94 octane with 10% ethanol or 91 with no ethanol. Fuels with ethanol can reduce mileage a bit, but wouldn't explain 18.5mpg. |

I'm averaging around 27mpg, and that's about 75 percent city driving. If you're averaging in the 18 range without constantly gunning the engine at every stoplight, I'd be a little concerned. Then again, if you're constantly launching hard and holding high revs, then I could see it happening.
Did you reset the Average MPG when you re-filled the tank? Just checking. |

Your measuring your MPG wrong.
