what's your mpg so far?

Postby PXLpainter » Tue Oct 24, 2006 3:27 pm

My past few tanks have been around 18-19mpg... but I drive it like I stole it most of the time ;)

Still better than my Tundra was so I'm cool! :D

I usually get around 18-19 with the V6.

I try to slow it down to save gas, but if I floor it a lot I only get about 10 fewer miles to the tank.

According to the display, I'm averaging 24 mpg w/ mostly city and some freeway driving. So it's probably actually closer to 21-22. I drove it hard yesterday because I was late for school and it's 45 miles away!

My question is, how much fuel do I have left after the computer range reads '0' and the fuel light is on? My Accord had approx. 4 gallons of reserve fuel left after the guage read empty and the light was on... but the Accord didn't have a computer to tell me the fuel range, mpg average, etc.

(btw WXman, thats a beautiful convt.!! Are the chrome rims available from Toyota?

What Engine?

I like reading about the mpg that you folks are getting. Some of you are not stating which engine you have L4 or V6. Please let us know. Also how much AC do you use?

My vehicle specs are in my signature. As for AC, I use it 95% of the time. Now that the weather has cooled off here in Orlando, I can cruise w/ the windows down and sunroof open a bit more.

Thanks! The chrome wheels were already on when I bought it. Looks to me like the original owner had the stock wheels chromed somewhere. Not sure where, but they came out real nice.

On a recent trip which was mostly highway miles I got over 38 with my 2.4....I was doing 60 in the slow lane with cruise on the entire time.
