BlackBird97 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Within the last 24 hours I drove about 325 miles on one tank of gas, and I still have a over a quarter left! My trip computer said I was getting about 32.5 mpgs! Just posting because I was impressed. With the intake I put on it seems like a gained about three to four mpg's! So anybody that want's to put on a after market intake, GOOD IDEA. GOOD MPG'S !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBird97 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Over the winter I had purchased an intake off of http://www.autopartswarehouse.com. Searching around for it on the website though, doesn't look like they carry it anymore. Below is the link to my post with a few pics. Oh yeah, car is a 2006 w/43,000 miles http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39199&highlight=Blackbird97&page=21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how long you've owned your car, or in what part of the country you live, but for some of us, it's just now starting to get warmer and we're getting rid of the winter blended gasoline. My car always starts seeing 2-4mpg better come spring time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phenryiv1 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I posted this in the NA fuel economy thread as well, but here is my experience: I just turned 30K this week, and I had reset my tripometer at exactly 20K. As I approached 30K, I was watching my cumulative MPG over the 10K period, and I was relatively impressed to get 28.2 MPG with the 5MT on mixed driving on my 2008 2.5i SE. My commute is 97 miles per day, with 80 of that as highway (interstate) and divided 4-lane roads. On the interstate, I average 75-80 MPH, and on the divided 4-lane, I hover between 60-70 MPH. I also ascend/descend a mountain each day. The last 17 miles of my commute are a twisty mountain road with constant switchbacks and elevation changes. This is normally driven between 25-75 MPH, depending on traffic, weather, etc. The vehicle is also drive on weekends for around-town trips, errands, etc., and has been through about a dozen auto-X runs. I also don't hesitate to drive the long way home from some places, just to hit a curvy road and drive it in a spirited manner. I run 87 octane fuel and 5W-30 conventional oil, with changes around 3500 miles (about one per 4-5 weeks). All in all, MPG on the 2.5i has been pretty good, considering my driving habits and style.
