Doesn't the MPG reader only go up to 30?

 

oh, i forgot to add my regular mpg reading... i get 17-19 city/20-22 fwy

 

is this down mount everest?

 

70-30 City Highway driving I get 20 mpg....with lot of coasting...whenever possible...on freeway CC at 68 i get 26. I'm happy with that

 

With a 65hwy/35city mix I get *always* 19.9 mpg; Have not taken a long trip with the G yet so not sure about all out hwy miles. Am I happy with 19.9? I would be happier with 25 mpg.

Still not trading the car in.

Avrg 17 mpg, mixed driving, i.e. driving like a speed demon and driving my my baby in the back (i.e 50 mph)

 

At around 50mph, I get over 30mpg on average with a/c on in cruise control. 5th gear is perfect for this speed.

This thing really really needs more gears.

 

I'd bet the highest possible mpg is at around 45mph with cruise control on, a/c off. You could probably do a few over 30mpg.

 

The highest MPH rating is going to occur while the engine is at peak torque, because at this point the engine is using the least effort to get the most reward. Doesn't really matter what the speed is, until you start factoring in aerodynamics. At least this is what I've found in my research..

Depending on what type of driving I do, I average anywhere from 15.5mpg (80% city driving, foot on the floor) to 24mpg (295 mi trip, cruise control set @~72mph the entire trip). Gas milage definitely isn't the greatest, but if you bought your G to get good gas milage, you're a damn fool.

 

As the gas prices go up, I start to see better milage, best so far was last week, 16.2mpg

 

Ouch, do you do a lot of heavy-footed driving?

A friend of mine rode with me and told me I need to "replace the lead in [my] foot with something lighter, like aluminum...or maybe carbon fiber" lol.

 

I've noticed that at about 35-40 mph on back roads, I manage to get about 30 mpg... glad to see that others have noticed this as well.
We normally just complain about the G's efficiency, but iy does okay under certain conditions.

 

I'm averaging 29.4 right now. My last tank was 28.6. I went over 500 miles on that tank. I used to get 21 until I started trying to hypermile. I'm saving (on average) $1000/yr now. At first it's weird to drive like a grandma, but my wallet feels alot better. I just spent $76 to fill up.

 

I still don't believe that you can go pass 24mpg for the full tank. Terrain matters a lot in gas mileage. If you are going down hill on high way then you may get over 30mpg but will you be driving down hill for the full gas tank (about 350 miles)?
I myself drive very softly in the city and the best I can get is 19mpg. It is average for 3 full gas tanks. Now I doubt anybody can beat that. Show me some proofs other than just talk. BTW, the gauge on our car can only read to 25mpg not 30mpg. Also tell me how you can go pass 25mpg ?

 

Awesome mileage.
