Re: What do you guys get for MPG?

24 mpg, mostly highway. Yes that's with the 4.44. It helps to use the cruise and not go much over 60

Re: What do you guys get for MPG?

In city driving, I normally get around 13 litres / 100km - which equates to 18 MPG.

On the highway, I normally get around 8.5 litres / 100km - which equates to 28 MPG.

The best result that I got was on a long highway drive, when I got 7.9 litres / 100km - that equates to 29.8 MPG!



......just as well, with 98 octane unleaded costing around $1.65 per litre!

......and that equates to US$7.50 per gallon!!!!!!!

Re: What do you guys get for MPG?

Just got back from a round trip to Reno from Orange County, CA. Worked out to just under 30mpg for me, I was pleasantly surprised!! Ive got 138k and original O2's as far as I know. Did average 70mph so it wasnt from driving like an old lady.

Re: What do you guys get for MPG?

I just filled up today and got 14mpg with all city driving. I just checked my window sticker and it has it rated for 17 city and 25 highway?

No? Check it closer, near the bottom. 14 is predicted for short all city trips in winter conditions, 27 I think for extremely long summer highway use.

Re: What do you guys get for MPG?

I average 18 MPG in town, went up 1mpg just by replacing the cracked PCV hoses, highway mileage is about 24mpg. I'm not disappointed, but I definitely wish it got a little better...

Re: What do you guys get for MPG?

I get from 14-18 in town depending if im being mother theresa or mario andrette, and on the highway anywhere from 22-27 also depending on speed and if im passing a lot. Good highway mileage, but in town its a little depressing, thank god gas is under 2/gallon now : )

Re: What do you guys get for MPG?

Ever since my transmission went, I've tried a few different things. At first I just left it in "2" all the time and got only 11 mpg.
Now though, I drive in "D" till I hit the shift point for 3rd gear and then I bump down to "2" and have been getting 14-15 mpg. Not bad when at 30mph, I'm at almost 2500rpm. I also try not to go over 35 too often. Also anytime I can I bump it back into "D" and coast.
