Gas Mileage
 
Hello all,

I could not find an appropriate heading to put this under. It's not a significant issue/any issue at all. It's more of a question/needing feedback.

I am averaging about 23.0 MPG. I do city driving so I presume that is normal for our cars. Others are claiming higher mileage. Yet they may be doing more highway driving. Anyone have input for me?

Thanks in advanced.

EPA rates the manual at 22 mpg city driving. Should have been on the sticker of the car.

32 mpg. I'm mostly highway, though.

30 MPG avg. I mostly drive highway or streets that have 50+ speed limit.

I've managed to go as low as 15MPG while driving in city, but that involved a whole tank of hooning...

I average about 22 MPG on city... gotten as high as 31 driving highway. I have a heavy foot and drive 70+ most of the time...

27.8MPG over 16000 miles tracking.

High of 34.6MPG, low of around 10.

This engine is thirsty for fuel under WOT for a NA 2.0L engine.

P.S. need to add some context. Non-OEM tires could add up to a 10% hit on gas mileage, same with minor engine mods. Also, your driving style also dictates your consumption.

I'm at 25.2mpg over 3000 miles.

I'm about 50% HWY (60-70mph typically) & 50% TOWN (25-40mph typically)

If I recall, the sticker on my car estimated 25mpg average, which is right on the money.

I do. It's at exactly 23.0 MPG. I drive like a grandma for the most part. Plus my car only has 6k on it.

10 in the city. Boy, you must be keep the foot on the floor! :party0030:

I get heavy footed as well (when I am feeling giddy). How do you like your 10 series?

you know what's funny, i'm tracking at 29.8 mpg on my car but 27.8 at the pump, over 8000 miles. i keep an excel spreadsheet of each of my fill-ups, and track the total # of gallons going in, and total # of miles driven. can't explain the difference. isn't evaporation, pretty sure i'm not like watering my car with gas... only explanation i have is that maybe the pump i use is faulty? i always use the same pump at the same station.

It is a thirsty little bugger with spirited driving. Definitely have some granny driving during most of my commuting.

Does anyone use 3rd gear going into turns intersections? I feel like 2nd gear should feel that way. Going into second seems quite like overkill in some turning situations.
