franklin Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I usually get between 22 to 24.4 driving mostly 25 mile interstate commutes to and from work. Have not taken any long trips yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAndy Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 On a mixed city/highway trip to Charlotte, NC (from Columbia, SC) this past Monday I got 25MPG cruising on the highway at about 80MPH for most of the time with many lead foot induced passes.

godwhomismike Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Automatic (5EAT) owner - got 26.7 mpg on a 264 mile (highway) trip. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I drive about 50/50 city/highway (in terms of time, not # of miles), and consistently average about 21.5 MPG. I don't normally drive that aggressively, so I've been wondering why it's so low. Also I noticed the display in the car reads about 1 MPG higher than what I calculate when I fill up. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 some weeks with just driving to work....stop and go...i get about 18-20 mpg. On the highway.....24-26 mpg. i guess i could do better but the gas pedal is too tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmm def Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 50/50 I'm getting 21.9-22.2 per tank, fill up when light goes on around 300 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoss Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 5spd lgt limited- I get 19 to 21 mpg city. Highway is between 27 and 29 mpg. The only time it was 29 was crusing on a back road at around 50mph behind abotu 5 slow cars..... I passed them all, didn't mean to, but it was easy. Then cursied at 60-65 mph and saw it drop to 27 mpg. Still not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerMan Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I saw 20mpg on strictly city and after a 150 mile trip (hwy) I am looking at 24mpg mixed driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deneb Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 LGT Manual & I'm consistently getting 24 - 25 MPG in 65/35 Hwy/city. Got 26 on the one trip I took, but that was before 1K miles, so I was doing a lot of gentle accel and decel during that trip to vary the RPM. I figure 29 - 30 should be achievable, though I stay pretty close to the speed limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 over 23k on the odometer... I consistently get 24-25 mpg @ just shy of 80, all depends on my driving style though. Certainly lots of speeding up / down and such will drop that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
