I have 19,500 miles (2003 touring 5AT) and I'm getting about 20.2 and have been ever since December. During the Fall when I got the car, I got up to 21.0 but it's mostly in the 20's. And this is majority city driving.
Originally posted by SB Track Getting like 16.0 with 500 miles so far. About 70% city and lots of short trips because my school is only 2 miles away. I hope it improves, or I'm going to hurt paying for gas compared to my G35c.
Glad I'm not the only one getting sub 17's. I've been getting 16.4 consistently the last month. I am all city driving though. I blame the low mileage on So. Cal. freeways and morning commutes.
Usually on the streets, with granny shifting, I'd get around 32 and on highways driving 80ish I'd get about 29, but for some reason driving within 70-80 I'd average 24.... weird! Btw I know a couple of people in Cerritos /w Z's
Here.. i use www.losangelesgasprices.com 's fuel logbook since i got my car in march 03. yes i'm an internet junkie and i waste time on this crap... lol ...
here's a graph that u can get if you enter all your fuel purchases..
the only time i got more than 21mpg was when i took a road trip to san diego and did 75mph all the way... other than that i drive 60% freeway and 40% streets
With my 2003 6mt touring i get 23.5 mph. Hardly ever moves. This is regular driving , 65% highway. If i reset it on the highway i get about 30 mpg. I run 94 octane sunoco.
I reseted the mpg gauge on the way home tonight. After the first mile it read 44mpg crusing at 62mph . Then it kept going down and down and down . Average at 26mpg on highway driving
The best I can do in the traffic I drive in is about 21mpg and thats pissing alot of drivers off with slow acceleration and rolling instead of stopping in the stop and go parts. If I drive the way I want and forget about the gas I get about 16 mpg. To me its worth it right now to enjoy the car even though it will cost me an extra $15-20 I spend a month driving bad.
