So I did a 400 mile trip last weekend with speeds upto 90 and as low as 25( during construction). I finally saw some good gas mileage with the trip averaging at 26. Quite a change from my city driving avg of 18.0

I guess we should all just using this car only for high speed cruising/canyon carving

 

That is great. I have never broke 21 on the highway. Really frustrating.

 

Nice, I got around 26 also but I swear my city always averages around 15.

 

yeah i have seen as good as 26mpg but only on strickly freeway driving, get off the freeway even just to fill up and that will drop a couple mpg easily. But overall im happy with the MPG. . .

 

I average lik 19-20mpg overall on the Sedan, mostly city. Highway driving gets me 24-26mpg

 

I get around 24-25 on the highway, and I don't drive slowly. At one point on a recent trip I set the cruise at 65mph, and left it there for about 50 miles --- and was registering ~28mpg. Around town, given my never-grew-up driving style, I get around 18.

 

mine gets 18.5 the best... usually 18.3 only thou =( base on the average shown on meter

 

My mileage has improved quite a bit since the initial break-in period (have a little over 6,000 miles so far). I started out in the high 18s but have been averaging around 21.7 since.

I have also averaged 26 on strictly highway with the cruise set at 72mph.

I do have some advantages though:

I drive 22 miles (round trip) to work. All country roads except for one 3.5 mile blast on the highway. No stop lights (so I can "slow-roll" through most stop signs).

If I'm not messing around I almost always skip at least 1 gear while upshifting (usually 5th, sometimes 4th and 5th).

On the short highway section, I'm usually running between 75mph and 90mph depending on traffic and Troopers!!

 

speaking of fuel,

is this car E-85 compattible?

 

I'm with you - that's about what I get both ways.

 

Averaged right at 28 during a trip from Corpus Christi, Texas to Washington State.

'05 auto though.

 

wow... this is so true.

I get usual 16-17mpg on mixed hwy and street but when pure hwy, I do get around 25ish. What a difference.

 

I did about 350miles with 18 gallons of gas over the weekend trip from Orange County to San Francisco. Btw, one way was about 400 miles. I was traveling between 80~130mph. So I guess I did avg of 19.44mpg.

 

I averaged 24.2 mpg on 80 mile drive down to the Jersey shore. Around town I am getting 15.5 mpg. I can deal with the highway mpg, but city driving sucks... I'll take 300+hp over fuel economy anyday. If they added a 6th gear on the autos that would be a great benefit..

 

26 is awesome. Best average I got over a tank of gas is 22. That's with a 80/20 highway/city mix driving conservatively.
