Talk about driving like you you stole it! I did that only RX-7 (a lot easier to bash mpg on that one).

Holly shit 9.7

Almost all city driving & my mpg sits at 27.6 with 7k on the clock. The highest I ever got was on my trip back from picking the car up in Colorado. I averaged 36 mpg on that trip since it's all highway + it was still during break in.

Btw does anybody follow the shift indicator?.. I never did cuz I feel like its gonna log the engine. lol

Even cold weather idle, snow tires and bad roads have not moved it at all.

Same here, mostly highway. Now 34 mpg / 6,9l average for last 2000 kilometers with studded winter tires and only cold weather starts without preheating. Can't complain.

i get 29 mph with mixed driving. about 31 for more highway oriented trips (6mt)

i get 28.5 mpg when i dont wanna fill up for awhile. But when i have the cash to fill up im at 21mpg haha. All receipt calculated

[tennisfreak]

26.2 after filling up yesterday.


Can't resist WOT, need to stop


Wait, hell no I don't!!!!

I average around 25, with a 60/40 city/hwy ratio, when I do more hwy I get over around 30ish. I don't drive conservative either.

26-28MPG with mixed highway/town, M-F 100 mile commute through horrible I-405 south, I hit all the traffic jams from Boeing in Everett, to M$ in Kirk, to the Bellevue jerks.

This is with a JL 12W6V2 bumping ALL the time, too.

I average mid to high 20's. I've gotten over 30 on at least one tank. It really depends on how you drive the car, especially with a manual. If you want to get better gas mileage I would suggest looking up ecomodder (pretty sure that's the name of the site). If you drive in a certain way you can get really good gas mileage. If you read up on some of the techniques they use and incorporate a less extreme form of them into your driving you should see better mpg's without having to drive like an old lady.

I'm getting about 9.9 L/100km combined since I got my car on Tuesday. It not has about 670km on the clock. Sometimes it seems like the gauge goes down really quickly though. But I have no where near enough km's to get an accurate reading of how it really is. I also have the auto, which seems like its geared a bit more towards better fuel mileage

Edit: Does the mileage suffer while the engine is still breaking in?

Won't lug as they are the "ideal" shift points. Did it for a couple of days and didn't see any difference in mileage but may have a higher impact with all city driving.
Feels like you are playing a really lame game of Guitar Hero (Shift Hero?) if you try to hit the indicator right on.
