How is your fuel economy?

[Wond3r]

i4 or V6?
How many L / 100KM can you usually get?

If you dont know, just say how long you can go on a full tank before you need to refill.
Something along those lines.

[iceberg65]

I get around 650kms with 267000kms on it

[Wond3r]

ya, it ends up being around 28mpg, cant remember what l/100km it is, but my drive to work and back was 15 min on the highway each morning so it was maybe 30%highway driving and 70% city driving.

[B3NN3TT]

My average for the last 4 months has been 22.6, MTX V6.

[20COUG00]

21mpg. Had it at 30 for a week, but i felt like an old lady. (Drive mostly highway)

Also is an MTX

For the record, I've been using a web service called MyMileMarker that tracks your fuel economy, mileage, and expenses online. It's located at My Mile Marker (http://www.mymilemarker.com). Whenever you fill up, you enter the odometer reading, gallons this fillup, and price per gallon, and it sticks it into a few different graphs for you. Makes projections, all kinds of stuff. And the cool thing is, I can submit my fillup quantities with a text message using my cell phone, through Twitter, and they update my info automatically on the website. So I can do it on the spot, at the pump, and not have to remember to enter my info on the computer later - it's already done.

normally between 450-500 a tank but i do alot of in city driving, on the highway its like drinking gold watching the m/g sitting at 30 :)

[Wond3r]

How much gas does a full tank actually hold?


Also, what are ways to keep the consumption to a minimum (auto, v6)? (coasting after pushing the pedal... etc,)

[-CRAZY-]

i think our tank is 55L or so...

i get about 12L/100km... but i drive a lot in a city..

i usually accelerate moderate tillabout 65, and let it go in a 4th gear on about 15oo rpm, i have to keep pedal slightly pressed, otherwise it stays at about 1650-1700.... i duno if it is right, but that is how i do it

whoa, we need over $50 for a full tank then lol.
So I assume you drive stick right.

[-CRAZY-]

i truly wish i drove stick... i have stick, of an automatic tranny.... i just played around, and just found out how my tranny behaves depending on what i do... otherwise - 1500km a week, is a lot, so need to save all gas i can...

[MUSKOKN]

I get any where between 400 - 500 a tank.

I'm not 'granny' with the gas peddle either. ;)

[MaverickFlyer]

I get about 550km's out of a tank or 10L/100kms

[1phatxr7]

I get 650kms to a tank V6 MTX

My mileage never gets reset and it is runing at 9.1L/100kms

[michcougar]

Wow i should get my rich condition checked out cause i run about 430-450 km per tank

[hamill]

hence why you NEED a good tune to account for your mods. (and when I say tune I mean dyno of course)


as for me, I get about 500kms to a tank, sometimes less, my car is a pain because of the IMRC issues I have...that should be fixed next summer though. Got the part, just need to drop it in :)

[michcougar]

hook me up Dan lol

[canadiancougar]

This summer my cat was getting about 12L/100km and that's all in city driving (and I'm not a granny with the throttle by any means).

[hamill]

hook me up Dan lol

sure....how much $$ you got?

[michcougar]

You know my situation!

[cougarprophet]

i get around 650 per tank but some times i drive a bit to hard and cut it down to like half :S
