How many MPGs do you get?

[adroit]

Where is the option for 120???? 🙄
That's what my scooter is getting.

The Ninja (bike): 50
The Jetta: 20-30

 

[Veritas&Equitas]

i actually calculate my mileage every time i fill up, and i keep it in an excel file

😱 LOL! 😀 Any reason why? Or were you just being facetious?

I'm waiting for someone to say:

60mpg from my Prius

They actually seem to get more like 50mpg. But that is my parents car, in my 1999 Volvo S80 I usually get around 23mpg

i don't know, just something to do i guess. I drive a manual, so i try to see how efficient i can drive.....

 

[shecky]

you want to see REALLY efficient driving, read this article about "hypermiling"

thanks for the link! that has inspired me to try to drive even better!

I don't own a car. 😀

Since you don't use any gasoline (0 gallons), yet move from here to there, you're dividing by 0 in calculating mi/gal. Math doesn't like it when you divide by 0, but I guess the environment does...

I get about 25mpg from my 2000 Chevrolet Malibu. In the winter though it can go down to 20 - the thing gulps when it's trying to warm up. I do get about 30-33 on the highway though.

Interesting. I just bought a car (SUV) - a 2006 Toyota Rav4. My wife HAD to have an SUV - personally, I don't like them, but with kids, travel, etc we do need the space. So my only restriction was that the auto had to get the same or better gas mileage than an ordinary car. Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV both met these requirements. I preferred the RAV4 so.. there you have it. We get about 25mpg combination highway and local - about that anyway. It's supposed to be 24/30. I wish I could have had the prius, but alas!

I think it is criminal how low mpg's are in the US. Dodge, in particular, should be fined.

Anyway, I don't get the 'bash SUV's argument. Many of them get the same mpg as many cars...

If I'm lucky, 26 gallons. The usual though is about 22-24, I drive manual so you have to play around with the engine a bit.

 

[cycocelica]

Probably around 23-25. I have a 2007 Subaru Imperza Wagon. I have never calculated it.

Me too! I was messing around trying out some of the things they did. I think I will do it for a week (starting next fill up), just to see how much improvement I get.

 

[mad jew]

I get about 95-110mpg on my 49cc scooter. That's running on 98RON petrol though. It's more like 80-90mpg on regular 92RON fuel.

 

[MalcolmJID]

Why is there no option for higher than 49mpg?

Three of cars I'm looking at will easily get 50+mpg.🙄

 

[AliensAreFuzzy]

I get around mid-20s with my Taurus. I kinda wish I had something that got a little better mileage. But, hey, it gets me from A to B.

 

[djstarrock]

Well I'm to young to drive so not infinite because we all have to eat.

This is an offshoot of this thread.

Seems that alot of the discussion leans towards greedy consumerism, and low MPG SUVs.

So, I ask, how many MPG does your vehicle(s) get?

There's no 50 mpg and up option. 🙁

Prius user checking in. I used to average about 52 or (65 high), but since moving to "the city" it has dropped quite a bit. I went from driving an hour to an hour and a half each way to work to driving 4 -5 minutes each way to work (stupid lights!). Mileage drastically dropped. I have the numbers written down, I need to do the calculations, bu tI imagine I am averaging around 40 mpg now. So sad.

😱 LOL! 😀 Any reason why? Or were you just being facetious?

I do. 🙂

 

[Glen Quagmire]

I get around 52 mpg out of my 2.0 litre VW Golf TDI. Last time around, I got around 550 miles from my last tank of fuel. Unless my maths is particularly bad, that's the mid-40s in US gallons.

I'm quite pleased with the fuel consumption - it's a pretty heavy car - around 1500kg so (unladen weight), and it's an automatic.

yeah, i'm starting to try it also. i have a scangauge in my truck, so it tells me real-time MPG.....i got 30.5 on my last trip (about 50 miles)....pretty good for a truck

 

[pianoman]

2000 Honda Civic, manual transmission
32 city
37 highway

[Abstract]

From THIS webpage, I can tell you that I get around 31-33 mpg at best. 🙂

That is nuts. 180.1 mpg when the best-of-the-best surrounding him were only getting 120 mpg!!!

 

[apfhex]

Any reason why? Or were you just being facetious?

Why not? Keeps you informed on how well you car's doing and how different conditions effect mileage. I keep a (loose) record of mine too. Around 20mpg city, 25 country/highway (that's about tops for my car I think). 4 cylinder 1998 Camry.

 

[MACDRIVE]

Eventually we'll be able to know too many things about each other.

Like bra size and penis size?

 

[Abstract]

Not sure about penis size because I have never measured, but I'm an A cup.

 

[Counterfit]

Probably around 23-25. I have a 2007 Subaru Imperza Wagon. I have never calculated it.

I'm probably around there in my 06 sedan. The price we pay for more torque than a Civic and AWD. 🙁
