Wrong forum, I think.

Go back to your Prius forum. Your Prius is not a BRZ.

I dont understand how you guys get such good mpg. I watch my mpgs while driving and drive easy. The average still stays around 26, i feel like its broke lol

Don't draft trucks - the risk isn't worth the extra efficiency.

FR-S, but still applicable. You can see the tank-by-tank blow in my Owner's Journal OP here, but the bottom line is:

Lifetime: 27,950 Miles Driven at 32.54 MPG

I get about 26mpg. Im curious any of you got bolt ons like intake downpipe and overpipe/ exhaust and get noticeable increase?

wizzardofboz · 11-06-2013, 03:52 PM

29.9mpg 12,000 mile average, DC Beltway commuting (cruising AM and worlds largest parking lot PM) stock.

In the city, I tend to get 22-24, and on the highway I get 34-36. My last tank, I averaged 18.1, but that was with AutoX, a lot of backroad driving, and occasional sliding.

s0sl0w · 11-06-2013, 04:30 PM

You people must drive like my mom.

I get 19-24. Usually more towards the lower end of that range.

sklimo · 11-06-2013, 04:52 PM

25 here

Yeah I average around 24...these kids are throttle shy.

Rock chips are one risk, yes (as well as cracked windshields), but also the increased risk of an accident. If you're close enough to improve your gas mileage significantly, you're also close enough to significantly decrease your time to react to any changes in the truck's path, and you're also close enough that the truck driver probably can't see you.

Keep in mind fuel quality varies from state-to-state, terrain makes a huge difference, and sloppy WOT driving kills economy while not garnering much added performance. You're going to have garbage MPG if you're hauling ass through canyons in SoCal vs straight flat highway across Ohio. 30 MPG is easy with this engine if you're not WOT all day long.

If you're running boost on an inefficient map, goodbye fuel economy. My stock STI rarely gets better than 20 MPG.
