That's better than what I'm getting and you're driving your car "quite hard." I should be getting 22MPG. On highway, it's great though 30MPG.
Got a tip for us?

Only time I get good highway mileage is to the track, then it gets messed up to calculate as then I drive the track...
My 20mpg is about a 50/50 mix of highway/city.
Weight has quite a bit to do with mpg (especially when accelerating quickly) and that newer bimmer of yours is quite a hefty one ;-)
Note: I calculate at the pump, not using the onboard computer as it is terribly inaccurate, especially as I have not tweaked it for my larger injectors...
My fuel tracking
Without all the graphs, overall for the YTD:
![]()
Also, I bet my MPG is better as I run quite larger diameter tires than the odometer/computer is calculated for. Its too much hassle to change hack the cluster....
Yup: 2.2% better so I should be @ 21.77mpg

Thanks for the info.
Since the car is rated 22MPG combined, I should be getting around 354 miles on a tank. I'm not. I'm getting a good amount less. Not sure what you drive but for a 2011 that's poor gas mileage.
Car looks familiar, did you just get Mickey Thomsons and post on the CorvetteForums
I have this beastie.
A 2001 MGF Trophy 160.
She's quite old but she is in superb condition, and on a long run I can get 44MPG from her.

I do indeed. I just wish there weren't so many speed cameras (and unnecessary speed limit reductions) in the UK.

The Scion FR-S is chick magnet at least for my friend. But the car really feels sluggish. I wish it had more torque. Other than that it's a fun car to have/drive.
Yup sure is a chick magnet
I get lots of looksAs for power its good enough for my use..200hp is nice on a light weight car.. im going to flash the ecu/intake/exhaust ect.. to get the most out the motor.. I like all motor cars but turbo/super charger is nice too.. had a evo and spoiled me with awd and turbo..with the frs I actually drive the car
I wish it had 240/270hp for the track use.. but I would hardly take it to track..
Holy touch screens batman!

I think the HP is okay as is. But it needs more torque. I've read people trying to turbo it and it saw little to no benefit. No real increase in performance.
Would be cool if he had realtime readings. I believe there is an adapter for OBDII to 30pin and app.
Yeah that would for sure be sick! I feel like it would be hard to use the iPad with the shifter in the way
I find it funny that the photo was taken from the backseat of a 2 door car xD must be kinda weird lol

"Road closed?.. Well I better take a pic" Lol just messin with you.
Lol yeah was cleaning inside..plus im a small guy amd I can fit in the back seat but when it comes to leg room say bye bye to your foot getting smashed from the front seats..
usually fold the rear seats down.. want to get something for it so I can use the rear for more space to throw my stuff in..
