Just doing a search, most people with the 5AT are seeing 20-21 when they "drive it like they stole it." I do straight highway trips on level roads (South Dak. to North Dak.) cruising at 75-80 and only see 21 mpg...what gives? You would think this car is aero enough to slip through the air.. Am I seeing the right mileage for having 20K on the odometer? How do you guys get better mileage?

 

This subject has been beating to death, but I will till you. I have an 04 sedan fully stock with 50,000 miles on it, and I get 20 MPG consistently. 70% hwy 30% city.

 

13 -15 all the time

 

I don't think anyone gets 20-21 driving it like they stole it... manual or auto.

I get like 21-24 driving my 6MT pretty lightly most of the time. If i'm driving it real aggresive, the economy is more like 16-18 MPG... although that usually only lasts for short spurts and rounds out to much higher economy when balanced out across a whole tank of fuel and mixed with normal driving.

 

75-80? If you're willing to sacrifice, drop about 10~15mph. Really, you'll probably get better mileage at 40, but that's just a bit slow.

 

Do they even have traffic over there?!?!?!?!?!! I live in DC Metrolpolitan area and I get around 20-23 city and highway.

 

i have a 5at and get 14mpg

 

wow, LEAD foot?

 

i used to get 19+mpg

since i got the hks...ive been driving harder

 

damn. that deserves some sort of medal or something

 

5at 17mpg 91 octane.....at 89 oct i was at 15mpg

 

21-26 04 6mt

 

i average the same but on my current tank ive got 1/4 left and ive driven 280 miles so far i thinks that the most ive ever done on 3/4 of a tank. its an 06 coupe 6speed manual.

 

I just broke my record last week: 21.20 mpg.

I drove 347 miles and it took 16.37 gallons to fill it up. I'm shooting for 22 mpg next.

 

u wont get any better then 21mpg no matter how slow or fast u drive, this been talked about a few times now
