Actual experienced real world fuel mileage MPG?

[Laika]

I've decided to stop caring so much about fuel economy and just drive the way I want to/the way traffic permits. So in heavy traffic I drive the same way everyone else does, without traffic I rev it up a bit and have me some good ol' rear wheel drive fun!


With that said, my current tank is at 29.1mpg without highway

This.

Honestly, I've never driven or chosen a car just for fuel economy. I always track it because it tells you a lot about your car, to me it's sort of like monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol even if you don't have health issues.

So, I spend a lot of time driving the car the way I intended when I bought it. I enjoy every curvy road, every off/on ramp, every opportunity to downshift to pass, etc. With all that, I'm still averaging almost 32MPG as tracked here.

That ^

My dad always asks me about my mpg, and I'm like if I cared about that stuff I'd be driving a Prius Spec C lol

Exactly. Dadhawk you and I seem to have the same views on many FRZ topics :happy0180:

Plus...the look on someones face when you tell them your beautiful new sports car gets 30mpg is the most awesome thing ever

A gentleman in an SC430 asked me to have some redlight fun just now, brought my average down to 29.0 haha

[Sigh-on-Rice]

90% city.
1st tank = 29.5 mpg.
2nd tank = 29.6 mpg.
Trip computer is a little off. It says 32 mpg.

[BlaineWasHere]

29.3 with 65-70% Freeway. I'm at 1.8K miles. 6MT.

[RavenFR-S]

First tank I got 30.76 MPG with 70% interstate.
Second tank = 26 MPG with 80% city.

[mattles]

its all in the sig :3
(ps I drive like an asshat.)

6MT at around 2100 miles now. Average over the life of the car is 26.6. Last fill-up was 27.9. Hit a max of 29.8 on a 750 mile road trip (cruising at 75mph).

[kuma]

Avg 31.1mpg *mostly highway* going at 75mph with MT.

City I was getting around 24mpg.

[taosracer]

3450 miles, average 31.7 mpg (confirmed on fill-ups) Mostly blasting around new england back roads, and the ho-hum drive to work everyday.

How are you guys getting such good numbers with city driving? my MPG numbers seem to trend towards the low 20's.

I just drove in to work.

• 2 seconds after turning on the car I reset the "AVG MPG" function. Let the revs settle and went on my way.
• I use "Snow" mode and "D" mode in normal driving (auto).
• I have my buzzer set at 2300 RPMs. I didn't hit it the whole trip.
• The current route is 9.4 miles (usually 8.2, doing detour right now). Posted speed limit is mostly 30, a little stretch of 40, and a little 25, all of which I exceed by about 10%.
• There are a total of 12 stop signs and one stop light on the trip. I do a rolling stop through a couple of the stop signs.
• There are gentle hills, nothing too steep.
• The ambient temperature was about 78 degrees F, no wind.
• I did not run the AC.
• I weigh 152 and did not have a passenger.
• My car has about 770 miles on it (all stock).

After pulling in to my spot in the parking garage, I made note of the AVG MPG reading a second before turning off the car:

36.6 MPG.

I keep a spreadsheet of all my stats updated at each fill up (I like doing the charts and calcs myself), not sure how much I trust the Scion's computer. We'll see. I only got 28.7 MPG on my last tank but I've been driving a little more economically so hopefully I see 30s in Excel. I almost never drive on the highway (about 0.15% of the mileage has been highway so far -- 1.2 miles out of 780ish now), but I also don't have a lot of sitting in traffic or at long lights.

I think my Fuelly says most of it, but I get anywhere from 32-33mpg to 36-37mpg on the interstate depending on if I'm using the a/c and how fast I'm going. A majority of my driving is on rural highways or interstates, with occasional city driving and I'm averaging around 27mpg with my "normal" driving. I have more fill up than I have in my Fuelly but I didn't write down the mileage. I don't drive for gas mileage, unless I'm on a long trip and even then I set the cruise @ 5-10mph over the speed limit. BTW... 6MT as well.
