How many MPG does everyone elses 2.2L get? I have read a few different way of improving one's MPG by say a cold air intake, but what other ways bolts or whatever, could I do to improve my Mpg. I have a five speed and I get about 31 MPG and I drive 40% city and 60% Highway most of the time. I shift around 3000 rpm give or take 500. Thanks

 

basically accelerate slowly, go as slow as possible and use cruse control as often as possible

 

Manuals don't have cruise control, which sucks... but I was wondering what everyone is getting too MPG wise.

 

who said manuals dont have cruise, i have a 5spd 2.2, and i have cruise control, one of the options that came with the car...and i average 28mpg all city, close to 40 highway

 

my manual has cruse as well, overal i get about 32mpg

 

I have an auto, and drive what i said is about city. I'm in the busy part of north VA, right near dc. I get around 23-25. Highway i jump up to around 40 though.

 

^^^proof i have cruise, and that im a 5spd

 

same mpg rating for me here in manassas va. potomac mills kills me with the traffic though

 

33.4 HW / 22 City

 

i get an average 21.5mpg city and hwy combined.

 

I drive 90% highway and get about 42 mpg. Only mod is a gmpp intake, but soon a CAI but don't know which one. Also have taken the spare out to lessen weight.

 

That sucks... I wish I had cruise control on mine. Thats the only feature I miss from my old car.

 

i hardly ever use my cruise, i only use it when im on a hot street with a rep. for having cops hidin, than i cruise it at the limit, besides that i ony use it for long trips...whichi make rarely

 

man... i wish my 2.4 did that well on gas

 

it should be pretty close though right ? unless youve got a heavy right foot

 

i get like 38 on the highway, and like 21 in the city.

 

x2!!

my 2.2 got better MPG then my 2.4 does...

You can get cruise installed for ~$200, your dealer should be able to recommend someone

 

i average 23-24 but my highway is closer to 30-32

aggression, stress, and cold morning autostarts got me only 230 miles on my last tank tho

 

my car tells me 27.8 mpg average

 

on my SS/SC I am getting 31 MPG combined and my 2.2 Sedan I get about 35 MPG combined.

 

Combined I get 32.2 pretty much every tank.

All highway the best I got was 34.9

My mileage has NEVER dipped below 30

I thought mine was low but I guess its average.

 

I thought mine with around 25 was average, but i guess im a little low. Like right now, in this tank i haven't pushed it over 3k and im only making 23.9

 

Strip weight. Accelerate briskly but not hard... ie if ou accelerate slowly in a higher gear its going to use more fuel than if you just crack on upto your cruise speed (at a sensible rate)
keep it highly polished.
not massive wheels
correct tyre pressures
etc.

my tarty 2.2 (see garage) speedster/vx220 gets 40mpg every tank without trying, 45mpg if I try and 35mpg when driving the nuts off it.

 

i check my pressure once every 2 weeks, stock everything. i'm not accelerating hard. and sometimes i do just drive with my cruise-haha. Im going to try and get around 30, but its so hard around where i am.

 

Really? Hmm, i might have to get it for my car then.

I get between 26-30 in town (with my heavy foot) and get about 31-32 with 30% highway and 70% city if i am easy on it (if i used the 15% ethanol it is a bigger difference, usually 2-4mpg less on that). I don't do much highway, the only 2 times i did highway i was around 34-35mpg.
