[smithersbpr]

so after having the campaign done on my car about the brakes in my last thread. ill be damned if my car doesnt get 29-32mpg now. WTF? lol

every other week i make a 2 hour long trip to go visit a friend and i was getting about 19-22 mpg and well i just got back last night after having the brakes fixed before i left. and ill be damned if my car did not once drop below 27.7mpg THE ENTIRE TRIP. lol i love it.

[adidas2go]

Good god, you must drive hella slow. I average 16 in mine

[mcheddadi]

wow...I average 20mpg and I drive for the 7kRPMS

you must not get that much highway time.

[racingtiger03]

jeez, I get 28 in mine and im pretty hard on the poor little thing lol.

oh wait.. yeah V6 thats right... yeah enjoy that. lol (no jealousy ive had my time in the sun with plenty of power on tap :P )

[adidas2go]

Right, we will enjoy it. Along with the much higher resale value, and an engine thats not gonna break down at 70k miles

[uh-oh_8_coupe]

for a 2.5i'm getting the same....

sigh.. dealer time

[smithersbpr]

lol im not driving that slow. thats at 80-85mph. but yea i was averaging the 20ish myself until they redid my brakes. i even called them to tell them about the gas mileage and they said the other breaks where sticking and holding it up alot.

well not your car

Higher resale value? cant determine that yet buddy! What happens if in 2010 gas hits $12? Will the v6 have a higher resale value then? It also isnt just the resale value, but rather the percentage return of your initial investment you get back.

Anyways your gonna be lucky if you get to 40k miles on your boosted ride... why? because you live in cali, you are a sailor boy, and you smell like rotting seaweed!

(or i could just be angry you keep getting me in hot water! lol)

the 2.5 has longevity issues? what about 70k?

25mpg ftw! Gassin every light!

[ccg71584]

i went 500 miles on one take of gas driving on the hwy in my 3.5.

[LongBeachCoupe]

driving what, downhill on cruise control going 20 mph?

The gas is on the RIGHT side man! lol... kudos to be able to drive slow!

I took a trip to Upstate NY this past weekend and setting the cruise between 70 and 80 I was able to hit 475 on a tank. MPG meter was hovering around 25mpg. That was using Sunoco 93 Octane. However, I've gotten extremely horrible gas mileage using Exxon 93...

[ccg71584]

i was driving about 70-75 with cruse control. I sware 500 miles on a tank with the cvt i was happy with that. Drove from Oregon To Cali.

[Voodoo Coupe]

I avarage around 500 miles per tank daily driving on 93 oct. in my 2.5 . I work 30 mins from where i live and dont baby the car at all. I bought the car to save money on gas and thats exactly what it's been doing. granted if i get into manual shifting and ream the car which i tend to do now and then it dosnt get the 500 per tank but it still gets soemthing like 450 so im not complaining at all. If i want insane crazy rip the car to shreds power ill drive one of the projects. but yea I have no complaints about the way the 2.5 coupe drives, it's still a very fun little ride.

hey.. how can I get my dealer to give me this? haha

[R1Wolf]

I was averaging 24.9 mpg for the longest time in my V6 6-Spd, but recently that's been dropping; I've been stuck in heavier traffic the last couple of weeks, and then when it does open up I'm running 90 mph out of frustration...

Every freeway on ramp, that doesn't have a slow car in front of me, sees redline or close to it. But unless I have a reason to, like screwing with another car, I shift around 3500 - 4000 on the streets and even freeways.

[pcpower]

r u guys/gals who are getting 25+ MPG using Regular of Premium fuel????

I'm using Regular and I get like 19 MPG, and I drive pretty casually. I'm wondering if maybe the MPG improves along w/ the fuel, due to how the engine (v6 in mine) is built?.?.?

thx!

[Scandinavian Flick]

i actually did a comparison on this, on a recent trip to kentucky on the way down with high grade fuel (93) i averaged 28MPG ( according to the on board MPG read out) on the way back i used low grade (87) and averaged 26MPG. so is 2mpg worth the extra 20cents per gallon . on a 300 mile drive with the high grade i burned 10.714 gallons at a cost of $44.89, on the way back i burned 11.538 gallons at a cost of $46.03, So actually yeah its better to be running that high grade.

[beeristasty]

Elevation may have an effect on your numbers. Avg elvevation of Ohio: 853 ft asl. Avg elevation of Kentucky: 755 ft asl.

[Scandinavian Flick]

could be.. thats actually quite brilliant but would 98ft stretched over 300 miles affect milage that much...
