What is everyone getting on gas? I get about 19.5 MPG and on average. trying to get better, says 20.3 now Woot lol

 

25mpg pure city, 30mpg mixed, 37mpg pure highway. I make a 110 mile round trip to/from school once a week. It's technically highway, no stop and go, but it's mostly 2 lane and lower speeds than a freeway (50mph). On those trips I see 40-41mpg.

 

The best I've ever seen is 24.9 outta mine....although it averages about 20 on a daily basis.

 

moved to the general section.

 

before my cai, 22.9. after 25.7. cold air intakes make a difference.

 

I am getting upto 38 - 40MPG on the highway, 26 - 30mpg in the city.

And no........I don't drive like my Grandma.

 

Dam why is mine so much lower then everyones els? Im getting a CAI on Weds. Can't wait! but how do some of you get like 40 mpg?

 

27 pretty much all city driving.

 

at an average speed of 80mph on the highway i get over 30mpg if i don't drive like an idiot. normal driving mixed i see about 23-25 though.

 

1) You have an auto, we have manuals. Having full control over your shift points is paramount.

2) Driving smarter, not necessarily slower. For us it means staying out of boost, for example.

3) Make sure everything on the car is in top condition. Plugs, filters, tires, etc. When that stuff starts going downhill it will rob power AND fuel economy.

Also, try actually calculating your MPG instead of going by your computer for a few tanks. My DIC shows a slightly lower MPG than what I'm actually getting.

 

I do almost the same, I have a 208 mile round trip every weekend, from Naples to Miami, and I have been as high as 37.2 (that is tailing a big truck for less wind resistance), usually closer to 35 cause the speed on I-75 is on average 80+, I try to keep it 65-70. In the city, with moderately high traffic I get about 26.

I have an Injen CAI, in a box under my bed, I have been waiting to make a few trips to see what the improvement was after I installed it. I was actually planning on installing it this weekend, so I will post up new averages over the next month.

Then I hope that an exhaust will help too.

Also, if you search, there are other threads like this.

 

I average about 26 mpg. Every once in a while I will get a wild hair and get on the car just for the hell of it. In those situations I usually end up averaging about 22 mpg.

 

Yeah I have an Auto, and I do floor it around bit. But theres a plus everything is in great condition!

 

You just answered why you get less MPG than most of us.

 

I get 25.7 average driving city and highway, I almost always shift at 4000 rpm or higher. Started shifting at 3000 rpm and saw a huge improvement in mpg.

 

26.4

 

Once I got my car broken in, and was kinda beating her...got 19 mpg...before that, pretty normal driving, highway but mostly city, it was around 26...

 

12.5 in my hemi
wish i had a cobalt

 

lol! dont worry about gas man...just put it on your credit card...

 

I average like 28 MPG. 31 HWY (75MPH) and about 22 City.

 

Thats the alternative!

 

28 City (30 avg speed)
32 Highway (70 avg speed)

 

i'm feelin this guys pain tho...when i got my car i was takin it easy...not really goin over 4k...and the computer said like 26.7...now that i'm driving a little more aggressively...maybe boost like 5 - 7psi max most times...i get low mpg...my computer says 24.9 but...in reality its like 21 - 22...city and highway...

 

40mpg ALL the time, motorway of 70-90mph, and around town etc.

if it drive like a tool I get about 35mpg, and on the flip side like an old granny I get 45-47mpg lol

 

My 07 LT 1 W/Auto averages 36 highway, holding within 2-4 MPH of the speed limit, city gets around 28.
