Re: What kind of mileage are you guys seeing?

I have the Gas Cubby App on my iphone and input all of my fill ups.

over the last 3 (12/6-3/6) months I have ageraged 16.5 mpg on 888 miles traveled
last 6 months 16.64 mpg on 1313 miles traveled

its obviously not my only car, thats why it only gets that many miles and the car is in need of a tune up

Re: What kind of mileage are you guys seeing?

19-20 like clockwork while doing the daily grind (50 miles/day with very diverse conditions; steep canyon rd, state highway, freeway and lastly condensed urban traffic). On long freeway trips I've always had better than 25 topping at a personal best of 32 on a blast up the coast with practically no elevation change. There's a sweet spot right around 85 where the car feels like it could run forever (your results may very, check your local traffic code for terms and conditions)

High teens in routine driving, high 20s at highway cruise; overall average 21+, as I don't do that much highway cruising.

Re: What kind of mileage are you guys seeing?

18-19mpg pretty consistently. High has been 24mpg on a drive from Denver to St. Louis on REALLY crap tires.

This is with a 4.44 transmission and rear end.

I average 18mpg year round on 90 octane with mods. Moderate road rage and gratuitous passing, but also lots of coasting. Maybe 7-8% highway in 3-4 mile bursts.
