MPG with your SVX

With gas being what it is right now, I was wondering how many miles per gallon everyone was getting with their svx?

I get around 25 MPG when I drive on the highway with the cruse on.
Most of the time I'm only going 8 miles to work and back. Foot to the floor most of the time. So I get less then 15 MPG.

415 miles on a tank with a 16 gallon fill up............going 85....90....95...115... oppppps lets say not the speedlimit,it was a 600+ mile trip.
around town driving it gets 300-320 on a tank, and being that 91 oct is going for 320+ around here in San Diego I have to be carefull on my driving habits

All city driving: about 19 MPG. All highway: about 27 MPG. Daily average (some highway, some city): about 24MPG.

A full tank only gets me like 200-220 miles. So I'm guessing less than 15mpg.

Gas just went up to CAN$1.189/L for regular, so I'll be filling up at CAN$1.289/L (or USD$1.09/L - so I pay USD$4.13/Gallon)

I bet you it's just Anchorage. I got around 18mpg last tank as well.

My mileage has just been plummeting ever since I had to drive during rush hour.

well the mileage is doing better than i thought. i got 320 to a full tank which averages 17.2 mpg. not bad for 2 bad o2 sensors and a seriously heavy foot.

What were the EPA fuel mileage numbers for the SVX, 17/24?

In the past few weeks I've driven 1460.3 miles and loaded 61.04 gallons of fuel; mostly 93 octane with a splash of 87 or 89 here and there. That's 23.92 MPG. Not bad, especially considering the two+ hours I sat at idle in standstill/creeping Atlanta interstate traffic (road work and two nasty accidents). All with the climate control on auto, which means AC running 99% of the time. Haven't been able to top the 31+ I got on one highway run last week.

I also kept up with what I spent but don't really want to know the total.

Not bad at all. I usually average just over 24 mpg. Pretty good for a 10 year old car with 165k on the clock. The Tribeca is rated at 18/23
