I get around 29 mpg on my 4 banger around 60/40 highway / city driving. I also like to go past cars on corners on the curvy road to work (hard acceleration).

Anyway, my last trip to visit my parents takes me about 1:15 to get there...highway most of the way, but lots of traffic and ups and downs. I always do about 70 mph on highway...the result: 35 mpg on whole trip including about 5-10% ciry driving...not bad!

Damn, that's pretty bad... Hope that's just an inaccuracy (but then again it's hard to say unless you're visiting the pumps more often too)

AVG 17.2 MPG... Shows up on my computer just fine though.

I know this is a 4-banger thread, but I see a lot of V6 posters here anyway...

I drive like a bat outta hell :evilbat:

and the worst MPG Ave I've had was about 18.5 - almost all city driving on two wheels!

I get 25-27 driving back and forth to work on my V6. The Trip Computer though tells me my average is 27-29, so it tends to be a little high.

I know this may sound a little far fetched but my car is telling me right now that it's getting 35.2 avg. mpg. I have a 4 cyclinder, 5 speed. Drive maybe 50/50 city/ highway. When I figure it out by hand only once has the car been dead on with my figures. Mostly it's 2 mpg higher. I don't drive like a grandma nor an I heavy on the gas pedal...

I drive mostly in the city. Most of the time I get 28-29 mpg and I can go for over a month without refueling. I don't put a lot of miles into the car and I drive only when I need to.

I also have a 4 cylinder and have never gotten anything higher than 20 MPG. During winter, when you idle to warm up your car, it burns more gasoline I believe.

I always get 20+mpg on my '06 4banger. The lowest I've gotten so far has been 22mpg avg and I race my friends and stuff. I'm also from AZ where I'm running the A/C constantly (even at night) unless I'm killing some of my friends in races

Seems weird to me...but after a 100mile some drive, I got 36 mpg @ 70 mph and a few acceleration burst. Has that low mileage problem shown itself again?

by **Somedude** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 6:26 am

no, it was just that one time it showed.

I am getting at least an average of 28 mpg per tank these days and thats with using the AC, occasionally hard acceleration, and stop and go traffic.

How many miles per full tank?

I would like to know.

I am drive 21.4 for my average loacl drive...around 24.x for the long freeway drive

I can eke out about 330-350 miles before the light comes on (~75% highway miles)...

If 100% highway, about 400 miles.

(I usually try to fill up before the light comes on)
