I returned over the weekend from an 8 day trip to New Hampshire with the G. I was very pleased with my fuel economy as I averaged 9.3 l/100km over almost 2000 KMs. Over 30 MPG was decent, especially considering the car was packed right to the gills with stuff.

 

The S will be even better!

 

I'm so far pleasantly surprised with the fuel economy on mine. About 8L/100 kms on the hwy, maybe 8.5. And last couple of fills ups have been at 11.5L/100kms in the city. And I don't drive with a super light foot or try to have the car roll in neutral whenever I get a chance, pretty much regular driving with occasional burst.

 

That's great. Sounds like it's about on par with the G.

 

Great mileage Shane, your G is treating you well.

I was also equally surprised with the mileage on my new 09 FX35. I only have 3500 kms on it so far and the average fuel mileage from all of its fill-ups has come to 11.29 L/100KM or 25 Imp MPG. As you know most of my driving is highway, it should even improve a bit more once I get a few more kliks on it.
I'm pleased, the 7 spd makes a big difference.

 

^ not bad for an FX, although the number in US gallons wouldn't be as fun.

Garnet - are you auto or 6mt? if auto then that's great mileage. i've seen 30+ (u.s. gal) in mine on road trips as well. coaxing these VQ's to 30mpg is possible, contrary to what many in the Sedan section believe...

 

^ I've got the 5AT.

 

I thought we were in the Canadian section!!

 

We are, but we have all been brainwashed into relating fool economy in mpg. Mpg oops, (Even my fingers have been affected by out gov.'s half hearted attempt to have the Metric system as our standard.) KP100L doesn't even sound right. Reminds me of the Kitchener Public Library.

 

Sam, I still relate my fuel ecomomy to Imp MPG (old habits die hard)

(Note to Canucklehead: why the frig would I quote in US MPG, I am a Proud Canadian and will stay that way )

 

^ do you know your weight in Kilos, or your height in metres? neither do i...and i am an engineer who is forced to be "bi-lingual" between the SI & Imp system. in North America there are accepted industry standards that bridge the gap between the two. MpG (US) allows for a recognizable fuel economy number just as one's weight in pounds does for most folks. conversely, when was the last time you heard an American vehicle's engine spec'd in cubic inches? they have been using litres (liters) for many years now.

on a recent trip to Spain it took me a couple days to realize that the fantastic fuel economy numbers advertised as i drove by dealerships were due to their 4.54L gallon, which boosts the MpG number by 20%!

 

LOL, me too, I always buy my meat by the lb. also. I remember when the Can. Gov. brought in the change and many retailers were very angry about it. I knew one gas station owner who was so PO'D he sold his station to a land developer who had been after the land for many years because he wasn't going to change.

 

I grew up in Canada so the main mileage I recognize is in Imperial gallons. In Canada the mileage for new cars was always given in Imp MPG. I was also forced to work in both SI and Metric units at the Nuke Plant I worked at for 30 years.
As I said, it is difficult to switch. I'm too friggin old to make a permanent switch.

 

So true Sam!

 

I was thinking the same thing. I also do the same conversion.

I've never heard another Canadian ever use or refer to US mpg.
