hey guys...I was just wondering how bad your gas mileage is. Don't get me wrong, I still love driving my car, but sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with it.

I own an A/T, it gets an average of 13.5-14 mpg. (no where near 18) I try to shift it up to 5th whenever I'm on the highway (on the triptronic), or at anytime I'm over 40mph, I don't stomp on the gas pedal, or do other things that might burn alot of gas. The only thing I do, is run the AC frequently..the afternoons are hot here in hawaii...

Anything I can do to improve my mileage? do you guys think a cold air intake will help?

thanks

 

once the car breaks in your mpg goes up to around 18...i am doing 22-25 at 80 on hwys

 

I own a 2003 coupe...

 

Tires low?

Air filter dirty?

 

nope...it's all fine....

 

dood.. i have a 04 6mt and i have the same problem...i get about 220 miles per full tank...i have no idea wats wrong...need to take it in for check up...i have 11250ish miles on it so the engines well past broken in, and i put in a new filter, new oil/filter... i still cant figure out why i only get 220 miles total...

 

I get a good 400-420 miles per tank before i need a refill. BTW, I have a 05 6mt with about 13k miles.

 

i got an 04 with 12,000 miles, i get about 210 miles per gallon as well with no mods at all, completely stock. however i do city driving 90% of the time. its crazy how much the G eats gas.

 

Impulse...what rpms are u shifting at in manual mode...maybe for better gas mileage, its better to leave it in standard auto mode and let the car shift at low rpms for itself.
I get poor gas mileage as well, around 15 mpg city, but It may be due to the fact that i rev my 6MT sometimes and shift late...i cant help it, its so addicting sometimes.
Also, due to construction on the highway around here, its hard to avoid traffic, however when i do get traffic free road- i get decent gas mileage, >20mpg on the highway in 6th gear wit cruse control.

too bad my G is a dam traffic magnet though

 

What RPM's are you shifting at?

 

i sit in traffic 2wice a day and i punch it any time i can. result: 16-17 mpg. The trick is not to run the A/C, at all. it robs power anyway.

 

I also drive an04 6MT and on the week I work in downtown houston, I get over 20MPG easily; what RPM's are you shifting out at?

 

WOW!! What kinda gas are you using?

 

i get about 300 - 320 per tank

 

umm. 3 - 4 (x1000) ish RPM
