stop/go traffic daily driver folks, what kinda mpg? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

DandoX · 08-12-2013, 11:21 AM

I spend most of my time (about 3-4 hours a day commuting) in highway traffic, a lot of stop and go. I'm getting around 30 but closer to 31.

6 speed manual transmission

Manual...mixed drive for 30 mile commute (x2 daily roudtrip), local roads for a third then it depends on volume as far as stop & go, but the rest is highway (one interchange) until the city. The car says I'm getting 27.2 usually I try to keep it on an even keel and there aren't any major inclines/declines in the route.

20-21 mpg, no highway.

zaptorque · 08-12-2013, 11:56 AM

~22 in stop and go

I get around 22-23 for most of my stop and go driving. My morning commute is 5.34 miles and it takes about 30 minutes.

I hand calculate every tank and I get 32-34mpg completely stock, manual, about 50% freeway driving 50% city driving.

Nickd123 · 08-12-2013, 08:22 PM

your mpg will rely mainly on your driving habits, but will for the most part be 25mpg or lower. The "bad" thing about this car is not driving it spirited or aggressively. I could easily get 30mpg hwy/27 city, but i constantly have ricky bobby syndrome and wanna go fast, lol! But keeping rpm below 3k should net at least 26mpg

On highway road trips I get 34 mpg. For commuting I'm between 21 and 24.
