How Bad is your MPG now (Cheap Gas)
 

Now that gas prices are getting really cheap, heck down here in the south gas (Premium) can be found for $2 in some places!! So my gas mileage has really dropped as I'm flooring it everywhere, and I wanted to see what others are getting.

My Last couple fill ups have resulted in 17.7, 21.2, and 19.6 MPG. Before the installation of the Innovate/Sprintex supercharger, my best was 30.5 MPG, and I haven't gotten a chance to really see what difference the SC has made in daily driving, without acting like a hoon.

*All these numbers are calculated out after fully filling up the tank, and this is with a Manual BRZ, with just 5600 miles on the clock.

i avg anywhere from 17mpg (driving like a 16yo) to 27mpg (driving like a grandparent in a prius)
im here in california and atm gas is $2.75

Wow, ok I guess I can't complain about what I'm getting then even with the supercharger. Guess you are in a manual too?

manual indeed.

I've generally always been a lead foot ;)

You can browse through the fuelly profile (in my sig) if interested in seeing what we pay in the land down under and just how much our own prices have been likewise effected.

A full tank is costing me pretty close to $50 AUD for 98RON (equiv to US 93).

My car is A/T and stock.

I average around 30 mpg in summer months, down to 27/28 now with a 50 mile round-trip hwy commute.

When I was doing a short city only commute it was more like 25/26. Hate winter gas.


37,500 miles on the clock.

Manual here.

I've been getting 25-27 this winter, usually in the summer I got 28-30. A lot of highway miles.

30.22 ish... Only because I decided to floor it from a dead stop all the way up to 90 mph ^_^


Manual
52k on odo

Was getting 23/24 the first couple weeks I had the car, now about 4 weeks in I'm getting 28+. I was driving like a bat out of hell that first week, playing with my new toy. Now I've settled into daily driving. Gas prices have not factored in one way or the other. I'm not going to purposely burn more just because it's cheaper...

Manual, btw.

Mine didn't really change Im always between 24-30, highway city spirited and what not. i have been driving a lot more though :)

ive been paying below $2 for the last month or so and my mileage hasnt changed..

27 around town or about 30+ on highway trips. price of gas hasnt affected my foot so much

19MPG with snow tires and a heavy foot around town. 29MPG if I am on the highway and not tipping into boost a lot. Mine's got AVO turbo at 9PSI and while in theory it should not change MPG a lot, in practice I can't drive it like a baby all the time. It's remarkable how much variation I get depending on how I drive.

With gas so cheap, you guys are worried about gas mileage?

lol, I am using this opportunity to drive this car like I stole it.

22MPG in town, too many stop lights. Otherwise 30's easy.

this, ladies and gentlemen, is a true winner.

The price of gas has never had an impact on how I drive, positive or negative. I always drive like the same maniac regardless.

8.5mpg and it was all highway. To the track and home. I think its the middle bit that hurt the average.

I spent an hour outside in an empty parking lot. Went in with about 7.6L/100km after half a tank of driving. Left with about 8.6 (how apt).

Currently sitting @ 8k miles. Average at 29mpg completely stock. 32.9 with Ark Grip cat-back! Added K&N drop-in filter and now 28.9 :(.

Since the second half of this quote has been covered, I'll pick on the first...

What gives you the idea that anyone here is worrying about gas mileage? I think you missed the point of this thread entirely. In fact, I could argue that you are the only one that's indicated that you're worried about gas money.

:bonk:

Ummm, maybe because people are posting their MPG and the title reads "How Bad is your MPG now (Cheap Gas)"
By the context of the title (bad MPG, cheap gas) leads to the phrase "cheap gas" as in being of "poor quality" and not meaning "inexpensive".


Perhaps you should re-title your thread to "Are you all enjoying inexpensive gas"?
Its english. I know its difficult, but try to learn it sometime.

First sentences of OP post...

Yes.. English is difficult isn't it.. reading too.

What's even more brutal is comprehension skills.. like being able to read a combination of words and understand the combined meaning.. as opposed to picking out a few keywords out of an entire thread and making an assumption.

Let me break it down for you.. This thread is about how much your mpg has gone down because you AREN'T worried about gas prices. The exact opposite of the conclusion you reached. Just because someone posts their mpg does not automatically mean they are complaining about it.

Maybe don't act like such a smartass if you can't be bothered to read more than the title before commenting.

That's not what he wanted to know... so OP should change the very purpose of his thread just so he doesn't confuse people that can't bother to read his comment? Ok...

You are so much fail. Get back on topic, but before that.
Point one finger and you have 3 pointing back at you.

You asked "What gives you the idea that anyone is worried about gas mileage?".

I gave you 2 examples where I would get that idea from.
And the two examples are perfect for supporting the idea, that people are worried about gas mileage.

I fully comprehend what the OP wrote.
Flooring it around everywhere, and he wants to know what everyone's MPG is. If thats not a thread about worrying about MPG, you'll have to show me one that is.

So, now that you fully established that you have no basic understanding of what "reading comprehension" is.

Edit: oh yeah. the part about "enjoying in-expensive gas". MPG has decreased because you aren't worried about gas prices. The MPG decrease is due to more enthusiastic driving behaviors, thus "Enjoying inexpensive gas".

Get back on topic.

Does somebody else want to give this a try? He's not getting it and I don't have the patience to walk him through it AGAIN.

The examples you cited did not support your argument, period.

Curiosity ≠ Concern

Posting your mpg because you were asked to ≠ Concern about your mpg

Edit: again. It just bugs me that you used the word "argument". I clearly said the "idea". I wasn't arguing. lol


:w00t:

I think the last tank I had was 100% highway @ 120KM/H with a few hard pulls up to...some speeds and I averaged 8L/100km with the blower on it.

Alright, agree to disagree.. or something. Not worth carrying on about anymore. No hard feelings.

I got around ~13 mpg after my weekend at the track! I guess that doesn't really count though since it's not every day driving....

The lowest I've gotten on public roads is around 18. Maybe I should start doing a burnout at every light? That should knock it down a bit.

Huh? Grammar english its the hot topic?
Well since the gas price drop significant my avg its like 24mpg.

I'm getting around 23-26 mpg, self calculated by dividing miles on the tank by the gallons to refill to full. I never seem to get above 26 even when I try not to accelerate too fast. I drive 2/3 hwy and 1/3 local. I just don't get how people are getting 30+ mpg

I have a 2013 Limited I bought new last April. I broke it in very carefully and do not rev it to 7000 every time I accelerate from a stop (though I do enough to keep it blown out.) Around town I get about 27, but on the highway, in 6th gear, I've regularly recorded 35. I'm very pleased.

Calculate your average MPH, and that may help determine. My 6AT gets almost about 75% better gas mileage than yours, but my average speed is probably around 50MPH over its life. I know I've manually calculated average speed on road trips at 70+MPH and I still get 30+ MPG. If I bepoop round town in slow traffic though it definitely takes a nose dive.

How you calculate your mpg? The mpg indicator in my brz keeps changing so idk what the real number is..:I just got the brz like two days ago so thats why im asking ...

Teach me how to get that mpg!! Haha

http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-You...fficiency-(MPG)

I don't think you need to do the subtraction part, since our cars can measure trips. That's only if you are going off of the total miles driven odometer reading, if I'm not mistaken.

Usually around 28 but with these gas prices its somewhere around 22-24 :burnrubber:

32mpg on a 100 mile daily freeway commute, rarely go under 70 mph. Oddly enough my mpg has gone up as I try to get the cheapest fill ups ever.

I'm surprised by all the grammar police replies earlier. This was just a celebratory thread on driving the car without any cares since gas prices have dropped in half.

Thanks everybody for replying with your experiences. I'm seeing a couple people post standard mpg above 30, that's pretty impressive. I've only gotten 30 one time, and it was 95% highway driving. I know that the A/T cars have a different final drive which helps with gas mileage, but it seems to make quite a difference between manual and automatic. I find it really interesting to see what other boosted cars are getting, and what the worst gas mileage has been for people. I haven’t been to the track (other than autocross) and it’s nice to see what to expect when I do go.
