spinoff: What do you get for mpg?
 
Seemed like everyone had something to mention about their gas mileage in Pizza's new toy thread. So here's a spinoff, what do you guys get for gas mileage?

The most I got in my S^TURN SL1 was 37mpg.

Camaro around 23mpg.

I fear the effects of swapping from 2.73's to 3.42's though....

:klab:

5 speed 2000 sl1 saturn, I went to Maine to visit my brother and its a 250 mile drive. When I got there and filled back up I figured out I was getting close to 42 mpg. My 96 civic dx 1.6l got low 30s before the tune up, the plugs were GARBAGE. If they are still in the trash ill take a pic. I'm surprised the car even ran.

And Id say I get high teens in the camaro. I dont drive it very gingerly. lol

Camaro 17.5 around town and 21.5 HWY ...A4 with 3.73

Formula413 05-09-2011 05:02 PM

Best I can get in the Formula is 23mpg driving almost all highway. City/cruising around is 14-17mpg, overall average is right around 20mpg. A4 with 3:23s, pretty much stock.

The Civic: worst tank was 38mpg, best was 58mpg.

Camaro- complete crap.

StuntmanMike 05-10-2011 02:46 AM

I get 16.0 in the Jeep in mixed driving, which for me is mostly highway.

In the same driving, the Bird has been getting right around 22-ish. Last tank was 21.5, tank before that was 22.0.

Kind of annoying, it used to get 23.5 consitantly, then I went from Michelins to Nittos last year, and lost a mpg to normally avg 22.5, and now I seem to have lost a little more over the winter.

D'oh!

And this is with 2.73's...I really want to do the 3.42 swap, but don't feel like taking the mileage hit anymore. I drive about 350 miles a week, and am spending $75 a week on gas as it is.

FireChicken 05-11-2011 01:30 AM

average about 15 in the chicken. a4 373s. i dont really drive it unless im driving hard though. every onramp has the go pedal welded to the floor.

93 f350 m4 with an overdrive 4x4 diesel dually crew cab 8 ft bed averages about 18 suprisingly. especially considering my foot is pretty much always on the floor its so damn slow! it demolishes the gauge on the highway

whitdog54 05-11-2011 03:42 PM

i get about 29mpg on the highway. if i baby it, around 20 in the city, but lately ive had a heavy foot and getting about 17 combined lol

bottledbird68 05-11-2011 08:09 PM

Don't keep track of city, don't want to know. Highway numbers...
99 wrangler was 15 mpg, currently about 5 mpg on our dc trip with how it was running

91 ext cab full size 3/4 ton chevy 17 on our run to NYC a couple weeks ago

Camaro 24 mpg

And the wrx, best was 27 mpg on our last trip.
