Gas Milage


Recommended Posts

With cruise control on @ 60 mph. 28 +- (but lilke hangman says....after a fill up + reset trip odometer....otherwise I'd be including all those stoplight take offs!)
Do it right the first time.........or don't bother doing it at all.

I have run 32k miles on my 08 so far (in one year) and i can get a regular 28-29mpg average per tank driving in "I" mode the whole time. If I baby the car the whole tank I can get avg 30mpg. I drive 85+ miles per day highway almost all of it.

 

But i will occasionally run 35% of E85 in my tank and have fun the whole time (read into turbo hard about the whole tank) and i still get 20-22 mpg.

Not sure if you been to LI but I take the LIE (495) 20 miles each way to work during rush hour. No traffic its a 20-25 min ride. It takes me 35-45 during rush hour. If I drive up the guy in fronts ass I get horrible gas mileage, but if I relax and accel slow its easy. At half a tank I'm at 25.5 ish, as tank empties it will get back up over 26.

 

I drive like a wimp 95% of the time.

I was a usual 23-25avg, with a 57 mile one drive of mix highway and traffic. Just started pulsing and gliding down hills, dropped from 80-85mph to 72 on the cruise and experimenting with hypermiling and anti-traffic techniques. I am on my second tank above 29MPG. I also just switched to Mobile 1. All this on Contiextreme Contacts with 40k on them.

To those posting higher numbers, are you completely stock?

 

My lifetime (3600 mile) average is just below 23, and increasing.

 

Right now I'm sitting near 27mpg mixed. I can't imagine I could get more on my half-hilly-backroad commute.

Bone Stock other than removing the intake silencer. Commute definitely makes a difference. I live less than a mile off the highway. I hit a total of 3 lights over 57 miles.

One other thing...if you didn't notice my Nick, I have a GT. I keep my shift points usually below 2500 RPM, only boost when necessary.
