no difference

 

i wasnt complainin about gas, i was jst seein if others are the same, if not, then i gota get it checked out. so check urself before u start to get smart

 

16 mpg city driving

 

05 AT... City is about 10 to 15 mpg on 93 octane.

DO NOT buy this car if you cannot afford to keep gas in it, it's a freakn gas pig!!!

My father in law can pull a 33' trailer with his custom F350 and get about the same mpg as my G... pitiful.

Time to clean the injectors/TB and install some new plugs then hope for a slight mpg increase.

wow

 

someone try n put a honda insight motor in this! lmfao

 

Something must be wrong there

 

Yeah I thought the same but the car throws no codes and seems to run perfect other than the crappy mpg.

Has new tires @ 35psi, new belts/hoses, recent oil change, new hubs up front.

I am hoping a good TB clean and some new plugs will give me a few more mpg.

ALL AT uses more gas.
ALL Standard/Manual uses less

nothing is wrong with that

 

I put 93 octane mine.
I average about between 50-100 miles a week.
I put in anywhere between 20-70 a week in for gas.
Fluids are always fresh, tires inflated right, maintenance always routine.
My driving style is 'spritied' but sometime it's 'granny slow'

If you can afford the car, you can afford the gas. At least you don't drive a lambo.
Heck I wouldn't care if I did- the gas alone is worth the enjoyment of that car.

Same thing for my coupe.

 

If one can't afford the gas, one can't afford the car.

Maybe the reason the G was so "cheap" when it was purchased was because the previous owner couldn't afford to put gas in it. With $4.00 gasoline likely not far in the future, G's are going to get even "cheaper".

The F350 pulling a trailer is probably a diesel.

I don't know how you guys/girls drive to get only 15 m.p.g. Must be a lot of sitting around in traffic jams and stop & go at traffic lights or cruising around in the wrong gear at 5000 r.p.m. I rarely make long highway trips in my G (that's what airplanes are for), so nearly all my mileage is city/urban interstate. I would call my driving style spirited. I'm not doing burnouts from every stop, but if traffic permits I'll accelerate aggressively up to the speed limit, and maybe even chirp the tires. Interstate on-ramps are almost always taken wide open throttle if conditions permit.

My '04 5AT averages 22 m.p.g. On one 200 mile, highway only, round trip I averaged 27 m.p.g.

Calling the G a gas pig is ridiculous, from my perspective. I've got a bone-stock 1973 Dodge Charger with a 318 c.i. v-8 that gets 12 m.p.g. in city driving, and 14 m.p.g on the interstate at 65 m.p.h. That car produces about 250 horsepower, and weighs 500 lbs. more than the G.

The G has a normally aspirated 280 - 300 horsepower engine and weighs ~3500 lbs. - nearly 10% of which is power window & door locks, 200-watt stereo, power seats, and other amenities. M.P.G. in the high teens to mid 20's is not unreasonable.

 

I have a very heavy foot and get 16mpg in town.

On the Hwy I get about 23mpg.

 

Here's how you do it... for the dummies out there!!

Step by step.
1. Fill car completely up.
2. Punch the button to reset the miles gauge.
3. Drive the car till you need gas.
4. Fill completely up again.
5. Divide the number of gallons (with the decimal) into the number of miles you went.



That will give you an exact MPG.

Duh

 

I'll never understand why people type like this...

 

you waste more gas by putting lower octane gas when the manufacture calls for premium such as 93... and do the math you really dont save that much money at the end of the month with putting regular as opposed to premium.,.
