What's everyone getting?

At 500 miles today, I'm averaging 25.5 mpg, based on my display. Haven't had a chance to use Fuelly yet, but hopefully it'll give me a more accurate reading once I fill up more.

I'm actually averaging around 30, I think last time it was 29 point something. Manual transmission. I think that's pretty good. I didn't buy this car for fuel economy as I had a 350Z before this.

I've gotten about 26mpg on the last few tanks, and one tank a little higher, about 29mpg (more highway driving there I think). Seems about average so far, could be partially due to our winter gas over here now. MPG on my WRX has always been about 4mpg worse in the winter.
Maybe the 25-26mpg is a feature of the GBS cars ;D haha

I'm getting an average tank to tank of 32.5 mpg. Last week my wife and I went off on a nice 200 mile drive through the southwest Indiana country side. That drive returned a 36.5 mpg average. This car gets amazing gas milage.

jduffy · 11-21-2012, 02:03 PM

The high MPG has been a real bonus. I had no idea when I purchased the car that it would be this good on gas.

32.7mpg avg. on all 9920 miles. I have got 40mpg hwy on a tank before.

Sigh-on-Rice · 11-21-2012, 02:52 PM

30.3 mpg over 5k miles. My trip computer usually shows 2 mpg better than actual.

BoxeRZ · 11-21-2012, 03:03 PM

22mpg ave. Really not sure how everyone is getting such good gas mileage, mines been steadily declining since I bought it. Of course I do most of my driving on back roads as pure enjoyment. Thankfully I just got a Sunoco gas card from work, so fuel conservation is a think of the past, and Sunoco has super93

Don't know what my trip computer says, but my current off Fuelly is in my sig.

Though it'll be going down in the winter months due to having to warm the car up in the mornings to get the ice off the windows.

Averaging about 27-28 in my daily driving, drove down to LA and back and got almost 32 for that.

Check below. Just note that it is all city driving. When I hit the highway, I average 32-34 mpg (as noted on a few longer ranger trips). Also would like to note that I've found that my average mph reading on the dash, and even the real time one, isnt very accurate. mine seems to try to read higher than it really is (as fuelly and before that a notebook and some math backed me up on).

rikdrt1 · 11-22-2012, 12:16 AM

i drove 150miles on the CA freeways .. all fwy miles - then i checked the mpg meter - holy crap.

i swear i love this car for alot of other reasons but this is a big one also.

Bought the car in late Oct, so, I am guessing winter gas. Mostly city driving. Average 25mpg. Not really surprised why.
