SLegacy99 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 AH I don't have a trip comp. Thats cool that you can do two averages. I wish that were the case in my mom's RX400h. I'd like to see an average based on your setting and one based on the life of the car. But almost 31 MPG there. Thats almost as good as I get. And I have a lot less HP.

Opie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Those aren't really very accurate...mine says 24MPG all the time but when I calculate the actual MPG it's about 1MPG less. None the less...30MPG (even if its a little less) is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'd love to see someone average 30mpg over a full tank.. I think it's easy to fill up and then get 30 mpg avg over 100 easy driven miles without much stopping/starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockerGT Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Ive been averaging 20.0-20.8 mpg driving all city. I've been lucky driving with a light foot and my commute is usually during non peak hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTlegacy06 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 In 90% city I average 19-21mpg, in 90% I've seen as high as 33mpg on the computer (I'm sure I could get it higher depending on traffic/route) but also consider that when you manually calculate you lose 1-2mpg from what the computer says...

speedy_beedee Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I usualy get betwwen 32-35 avg for the entire tank. The most I've ever gotten was 36. I have a na 5spd. I drive all highway and set the cruise for 60 mph. I can get 36 If I set the cruise to 55. I am very gentle with the car no jackrabbit stars and I upshift ever 2k rpm. Next time I take of the trip comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjoe Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'm proud of myself this week. I went 5 days between filling up the tank. 361.4 miles using 14.638 gallons = 24.689 mpg How big is our tank? 15 or 16 gallons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp468732 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Over 100 miles I got 34.0 mpg. That was right after I filled up, cruise control set to 55 for the entire trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCleanLGT Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 My trip comp says 26.8 for the last ~350mi. I usually avg about that every tank with mostly grandma style driving and some spirited driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 12.3 mpg tank average worst, 27.1 mpg best, all according to the car. I've fooled a few folks by showing them the average and instant mpg now with the new injectors. "OMG! This this gets 35+ mpg in city driving?"

I've fooled a few folks by showing them the average and instant mpg now with the new injectors. "OMG! This this gets 35+ mpg in city driving?" Hehehe last night i filled up my car and at the gas station i always reset TRIP B to see how many miles i get from gas station fill up to the the next fill up, and before i reset it i scroll throughthe other features yesterday i had a terrible tank of gas 11.5 avg mpg, and the best i ever had was on a straight 4+ hr trip from syracuse to long island and i was stock and was stuck on cruise at 55mph the entire time it showed 26.3 (btw just a tip/trick: reset TRIP A at every oil change so you know exactly how many miles you've driven on that oil and it elliminates the guess work--> i have never went more then 3600miles on an oil change thanx to that tip i learned b4 i ever purchased the car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon in CT Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f210/Brettrock/IMG00082.jpg I see you're in Denver (thin air). You can do much better than that. Go up to the Eisenhower tunnel on I-70 (it runs under the continental divide in the Rockies). Now start heading back east on I-70 and hit your Trip A meter and don't exceed the speed limit.

Golf4283 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I averaged over 31mpg in my H6 powered Legacy over the weekend. I went from Chicago to milwaukee then back to chicago. Used a complete tank and got 31.5 MPG throughout the entire trip. I have no photo cuase I didn't think it was all that important but to that one poster who doubted it it is possible.
