So my wife's been driving the G this past weekend and part of this week.

I got it back from her today and saw that the trip "A" meter, which I reset every time I fill up, read 365mi and the gas gauge read just over 1/4 tank. Weird! So I called her to if she had top-ed off and she says "NO". Okay, I drove about 42 miles before the light came on and I filled up.

So it went to 407 miles on 1 tank of premium, in winter, with mushy winter tires, and took 16.629 gallons to fill, that's 24.47mpg. Most I've ever seen.

When I drive, under similar conditions with more highway thatnher, I barely get 330 a tank or about 20-21mpg...so what changed....THE DRIVER!!!!

So guys...it's how we drive and not the car that sucks at mpg. And my wife is not a granny style driver either. The only mod I have is z-tube with jwt pop.

I am going to give it to her in spring with oem tires and see if she can blow the sticker mpg off.

I also learned that I probably could not standing being a passenger in my G with her driving. I didn't buy this car for it's mpg's is for sure.

 

I agree, definitely us and not the G :-) On a 320 mile trip with speeds 60-70 mph I saw 29 mpg.

 

nice.....Whats the size of the gas tank?

 

i got 507 once, i have pics if you dont believe me... it was following a semi @ 78 mph. SEMI'S FTW!!!

 

Great MPG! I agree it's the driver. I've read how some people barely get 300 miles/tank and I don't understand. I guess if I was rev-happy I will burn more, but I would have to do that every time I push the pedal.

Just came back from Las Vegas . . . didn't get as great MPG as you, but still managed ~405 miles (still haven't filled up to calculate MPG ).

 

+1. I've been experimenting and driving a little less aggressively, and my MPG jumped up.

 

it doesn't help when you have mods like intake/exhaust which definitely encourage a heavier foot

 

unfortunately for my my wife likes the throttle pedal as much as I do.

Cant pass over 300.

 

rock chips FTL

 

I don't know man. I never go pass 4k rpm, and I still only get 18-19mpg on avg..

 

I Get Between 320-350 Miles Per Tank, 18-19 Mpg

 

^ WTF?

I have a 6mt, aren't they "supposed" to get better MPG?

 

dude read the first post. WOW.

 

Dude, read my other posts. I granny shift all day to work... (40/60) city/hwy.

When I had my S2k.. I got over 24mpg.. And I redline that car almost daily. But since i'm selling the G, I baby this car..

 

I've only had it a week and I haven't been too easy on it and I got 390 miles out of my first tank.
