45.3 miles per gallon = 5.19237491 l/100km56.9 (mi / hr) = 91.5716736 km / hr

Very nice indeed, even with the worse thread title ever!

right now i'm averaging 15 MPG.... it went up from 13 MPG lol idk, i think its the hot weather... also, all of my driving was city driving with stop and go... i usually get 19 MPG in the city but lately my fuel economy has been horrible. maybe the heat has something to do with it? its been 100+ degrees for almost a month now.... either the heat or the idiots on the road that piss me off and make me floor the gas to go around them.... the street i live on (actually the main road outside of my neighborhood) has a speed limit of 50 MPH... the cops are hella cool though, ive gone 60 MPH and had cops just pass me like what ever.... over here in Cali you got to be doing at least 6 MPH over the speed limit for them to pull you over.... so its like the real speed limit is 55 MPH.... i have ppl doing 35 MPH! law says that you cant drive 10 MPH under the speed limit... so they drive illegally slow and it pisses me off!!!

ends rant...

Well, I don't have a pic, but after roughly 17,000 miles I average 25.1 mpg.

[JAFO]

I haven't reset mine since I bought it.

At 31,000 miles I show 24.4 MPG and 40.1 MPH. I mostly drive my car to and from work in commuter traffic. The MPG is usally spot on (I still do the old school mathematics after filling up to figure it out!). Sometimes when I KNOW I had a lead foot during the week prior the MPG will be around 22, but I average about 24 MPG.

With all the people bragging about their high MPG numbers, one might think this is a Prius forum...Our cars weren't built for efficiency so put the pedal to the carpet and drop those numbers to the low 20's!!!!!

[Curtieson]

Wow...that is...pretty crazy

I have tested mine...and best MPG is about 65 (I haven't tested 50/55/60 though...) and I can get about 35 MPG, but that is with a 2.5S. I was getting 33ish and my intake got me the other 2.

On a 300 mile trip...I can average about 31, that is usually me going 75-80 depending on traffic and if I am in Michigan and out of Ohio.

[rcboy514]

I dont understand......I avg. 15mpg. I only drive in town and when I drive on the highway about 1.5 hours @ 60-80 mph I get 26. Are you guys reseting the computer while coasting? lol

Yeah 45 mpg is funny. PRobably went down hill A LOT even with a 1.8L powered Sentra I barely get 37 mpg on a straight and level highway now (intake, catback) @ 65 mph.

My 3.5 CVT coupe has been averaging roughly 23 mpg. The mileage varies tank to tank ~ 1 mpg less. The computer is about right on too showing a varied 22.8-23.0 mpg, I've not reset it since I drove it off the lot, about 3600 miles ago (brand new with 300 miles..). I know according to the instant read out graph/bar, the mpg at highway speed < 70 mph is near 30 mpg.

[stevek3670]

ye wtf i only get about 22 mpg if i drive lightly and usually average 18-19mpg, does intake add that much to the mpg i mean 45mpg is insane lol

[blackteam02]

. . .

[Jose3.5]

My mpg looks like Hussain's

[LongBeachCoupe]

its def the overlays, they decrease drag coefficient!

lol

[JDRosenberg07]

my cars computer used to say I averaged 32 mpg or so and when I started doing my own calculations it turned out to only be about 29 mpg. Now it says between 28ish to 29ish but I'm only getting about 27.5 or so. I tend to drive it a lot harder than I used to tho.. Lol

But yeah when I just cruise around 55-60mph my mpg hovers around 40-50mpg but that's with a 2.5

[DTownCoupe]

I know it's off the topic.I've been wondering for awhile now everytime i see your signature pics.

Jose, what are those rims u got? they look really nice

@ 1.8L Sentra!?! yo-thats funnier than the MPG! WTH, u set yourself up for failure toughguy!

Definately because of the tail overlays LBC! ..since the friggin tint place i took'em to "bridged" the gap in the tails! *face palm*
