Roche Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 I accelerate considerably slow for the most part and only get 23 MPG. Except today I got on it going up a mountain and got 16 average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGT For ME Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I go by by mile. My car makes the same work commute most days and as a result I know the parts of the drive I can have fun and the areas where mpg is key. I have 2 right hand turns where there is almost never traffic and 2nd gear full throttle pulls are the norm, 4 wheel slide once in a while on the way to work:eek:. And I'm around 17-18mpg E85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee07 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 "MPG", I get 0 mpg. I take the Bus and the lgt sits everyday, all-year long. I save around 2k a year on gas by not needing to buy any. I spend less on gas than a hybrid or electric vehicle. Wow! JK, I drive mine however other drivers are driving/doing. They drive like idiots, I go in and out of lanes speeding and unleashing my new power under the hood.  Otherwise, I drive it like an automatic and shift around (2.2-2.8k rpm) and enjoy the slow view.

jhawk222 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 My car is driven sensibly MOST of the time. Most being the key word relative to my style of driving. Agreeing with Byron, you gotta be a good listener. I love driving with the radio off, windows down(weather permitting) to hear everything the car is telling me!!

jfg22557 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Catch me on the gravel  Edit: other than that, grandma status on the regularly trafficked tarmac. Better safe than sorry when other unpredictable drivers could potentially be sharing the road with you around that next blind corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsmoove Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I drive mine pretty soft, except for on ramps and interchanges. I've been meaning to find some twisty country roads though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWagon GT Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Conservatively or do you beat on it? How does it hold up? Do you race around corners or take it easy? I accelerate slowly because I just bought mine so I'm babying it  I drive mine accidentally fast. Really I don't always intend to, but it's been a long time since my last turbo car so I'm not used to the lag, not to mention the perception of speed is much different than my last car. The wagon is bigger and quieter (and faster IMO) than the Z3 Coupe it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
