Re: The MPG thread
Over 30 around town, all stop and go with plenty of hills and not the best MT skills. I hardly ever go on the freeway but when I do it seems to get around 38-40. Now that the Fit is getting broken in the MPG is creeping upward.
I saw where gas prices are expected to go up quite a bit, maybe even close to $5 a gal. They are already plenty high here, like about $3.70.
I love the Kia Soul commercials! They don't seem to have any for the Fit.

36 city. I think it's using more oil than gas now, though.

Re: The MPG thread
21mpg now. That's a 3.7 mile city commute after warming the car to at least 75* coolant temp. That's five days a week. I also do a 25 mile city-country-city commute once a week. Maybe 20 highway miles a week.
One 13-14 gallon fill-up lasts me two weeks.

Re: The MPG thread
Just got 25.8 MPG on my last tank. Was hooning around quite a bit than my previous tank. Drove highway for about 1.5-2 hours towards the end, probably bumped up the MPG a bit.

Re: The MPG thread
25.5 MPG as of this fill-up. I almost wonder if it makes a difference that I fill from half. I still have couple botched high RPM starts now and then so that's probably part of it.94Corolla5Speed wrote:Just got 25.8 MPG on my last tank. Was hooning around quite a bit than my previous tank.

That depends on how sensitive your car is to weight and how much your tank capacity is.tankinbeans wrote:I almost wonder if it makes a difference that I fill from half.
I doubt your extra fuel and botched launches represent a measurable difference. If you were getting 60MPG then a much smaller loss would affect your fuel economy much more noticeably, but in the 25-35 range it takes more than that.

Re: The MPG thread
You're probably right. I think it's a combination of differences in driving location (more or less highway versus 'burbs), differences in blend (winter versus summer; winter is very much in use right now), and amount of time idling and using defrosters. I haven't had to use the defroster much, but it varies. Since I'm not a hypermiler I'll just chock it up to the factors above; I have gotten a bit friskier on my freeway entrances. I'm still averaging 27 over 5000 miles and it'll inch back up this summer.theholycow wrote:That depends on how sensitive your car is to weight and how much your tank capacity is.tankinbeans wrote:I almost wonder if it makes a difference that I fill from half.

Have never driven in snew...
Tahoe 20.4mpg. Probably 60% hwy, 40% heavy traffic/stop and go.
GT 500 18.1mpg. Same.
Mitsubishi around 22mpg, I'm guessing. More city driving.

Re: The MPG thread
I just calculated my actual gas mileage. It came out at 19.65 MPG with moderate, 100% city driving. It seems a little low to me.
Two pedals, two feet, too easy.
