stop/go traffic daily driver folks, what kinda mpg?
Just curious, because thats sadly probably gonna a lof of what i use this for lol (gonna have to give my old car to the brother.).
|
21.4 It's been stuck there for two months :/
I use freeways maybe once every three weeks. |
20.4, stop/go at every block in the city.
|
I get 25.3 and its stop and go. Although I granny drive for this mpg ;/
|
About 8 traffic lights a day and mostly highway 27mpg. Change gears at 3-3.5 rpm.
|
I'm a lot of stop-n-go and when I get into the clear I tend to treat other cars as if they were road cones. I get 24 mpg on average.
|
probably 75% highway on my commute, I'm averaging about 30-31 mpg.
|
Nearly same as HunterGreene: 31-32. 75% hwy and then stop and go down a road full of redlights and soccer moms/dads driving like morons which adds even more braking. (Manual tranny too btw way)
|
25mpg for a 15 mile drive that takes 45-50 minutes for a total of 30 miles and 1.5 hours on the road on a typical day.
Funny thing is that even with higher gas prices compared to my RSX(regular vs premium gas and mpg difference), I'm saving $14 a tank in the BRZ. |
17.5 mpg which is 13.4 litres per 100 km.
Drive style: about 18 km/h average speed, 7000rpm and >100km/h speed if see at least 300m of free road ahead of me :) And this is auto. |
Still breaking my motor in (keeping RPM under 4000) and much of my 80-mile daily commute is 45mph and above, but I'm seeing almost exactly 30mpg.
|
20 miles each way (about 40 minutes each way), pretty much stop and go rush hour traffic. Getting 26mpg in a BRZ Limited manual with around 2K miles on the odometer. I drive pretty spirited when traffic allows too. Super happy coming from a 2.0 Gencoupe that was lucky to hit 20mpg on the same commute.
|
I'm getting 26-27 mpg on shorter trips close to home. On a recent 5 day trip to West Virginia, I got 33.4 on the first tank and 32.8 mpg on the second. The only gas that's ever been in the tank is Exxon 93. These figures are calculated from fill up to fill up (from less than a quarter tank), not from the digital readout.
Any discussion about fuel usage is useless without specifics concerning how the numbers were obtained. One member here claimed something absurd (I forget, like 45mpg), and finally admitted that it was over a short distance (less than 40 miles as I recall) fill up to fill up. It's not hard to see how the pump error in such a small amount of fuel (less than a gallon if the figures are accepted) could produce silly results. Only complete fills are meaningful, and even then the calibration of the station pump is a possible issue. That being said, I don't drive like grandma to get these numbers- always at least 10 mph over the limit (if possible) and often to redline. I believe my mpg is pretty representative, and it's actually close to the numbers that were advertised. FYI, my car is manual, 5,700 miles, no mods. |
Average about 12 miles a day on my drive to & from work. Mostly over city streets thru traffic. I've been averaging between 20-22mph relatively consistently now. I Ike to rev my 6MT when the opportunity arises.
