Thread: gas mileage

Filled up today. 152 miles, used 14.3 gallons which = 10.6 mpgs.

My lowest avg yet, I was impressed.

Five, you don't get any mpg's parked in the driveway warming up. LOL

It takes me a full tank to drive 340 miles
Capacity is 18 gal
So my mpg is 18.8 ewwww

It suppose to be 27 on high ways.
Now I understand why my friends with v4 Laughing at me.

I like to waste fuel, screw the environment.

Make sure you are dividing by fuel used, not the whole size of the tank. Unless you run it bone dry and kill the pump once a week.

Every weak I drive 170 miles
Seattle to Portland.

170 = half a tank
Full tank is 340
Divided by 18 capacity.
Is 18.8

I need to figure out how to change the plugs maybe it would help.

Are you just going by the gauge ? That is very inaccurate.
Fill it up until the pump clicks off, no more.
Drive it down below 1/4 , fill up again.
That will give you the actual gallons used.

I'm getting 420 miles a tank, that's with 2 cold start ups a day, letting it run 3 minutes and then drive 62mph for 1 hour and 15 minutes one way.
damn the 19.4-6.8 fahrenheit weather, in the summer I get 500miles a tank.

You must be tripping

15 is bad

It's like for every 18 minutes drive you pay 3.79

What cars do your friends with v4's drive?

18-19 city driving

Stop and go traffic? 15 to 18 is very good mileage around the city. My car gets very good gas mileage on the highway, maybe 29 highway but around town stopping at stop signs and lights, I am lucky with 15 to 18 MPG and no lead foot either. One thing I have noticed, the car has to get up to temperature, My car doesn't get up to temp because I am only driving maybe 2 miles one direction

Yes I am pretty sure he is tripping or he surely isn't driving an 02 GTP. I have a 2002 coup GTP with 57K on it and the best around town is maybe 20 and 28.5 on the highway. Driving at a conservative 72 on the highway. That is winter time! My 2000 Red is just the GT with 80k and averages maybe 15 to 18 city and 28 highway
