i currently am getting 19.4mpg interstate and city. Mostly city. i was on interstate today and i went about 80 mile and it went to 20.8

gas =
reg= 2.73
mid= 2.83
prem = 2.93

Biloxi, Mississippi
 
It varies greatly with my v6 LS. I have recorded between 16 and 20 city and between 22 and 27 highway with an overall average of 21 mpg. Air conditioner use and rapid accelleration are the two easiest ways to lower those MPG.

I know those v8 guys don't average much worse but have much more power.... :( I should have gotten the v8.

Gas price here in Bentonville, AR
87 gas $2.76
89 gas $2.86
91 gas $3.01
 
about 15 local
23-24 all highway
usually about 18 mixed

2.80-85 for premium here in jersey
 
I'm at 20.8 pretty steady. We use A/C (auto setting, 60* temps both sides) non-stop, every time. $2.99 here for 93. Saw 87 at $2.54 yesterday.

BTW, I'm in Harrisburg, PA.
 
about 22.3 mpg about half city and half highway (about 60-75 mph)

Gas here in Milwaukee, WI for 93 is $2.99 - $3.09
 
Last tank was 20.8 mixed driving, 110*+ temps.

87 - 2.53
91 - 2.73

Gilbert, AZ.
 
I travelled 4796 miles and bought 229 gallons of gas since I bought the car, so 20.9 mpg. (the onboard computer always overestimates)
Worst/best tank: 18.0 / 24.2
Worst/best instantaneous: 0 / 99 :lol:

06 v8
 
I still gotta fill the tank and check. So how do i calculate the amount of gas i used. divide by then # of km's i drive with the full tank till its empty?
 
Fill the tank.
Reset the trip odometer.
On the next refill which doesn't have to be when you're empty
note how much it takes to fill up.
Divide distance traveled by fuel consumed and you'll have your average miles per gallon, or in Canada km per liter.
Never did like the liters per 100 km way of stating consumption.
To do that fill up, drive say 400 km then fill up again and take that liter figure say 48 liters and divide it by 4 so you would have 12 liters per 100 km or 8.33 km per liter-about 3 us gallons for 62 miles approx 20 mpg.
This is just an example.
 
I am getting 14.8. This is my best so far. I am hoping that my new fuel filter will push into 16+.
 
During the week back and forth to work, I'm at 12 to 13... but on the highway, heading up to Sedona or Payson, I'm getting mid 20s... but i think i have a bad coil or two, so that could account for the crappy mileage...
 
i get steady 16

93=$3.05 lately (it's been going down significantly)
 
mostly city im getting 14.5(says the computer). i need to get the xcal2 and have torrie do a tune bc i know the computer is way wrong due to the bigger wheels.
 
2002 V8 with 18 inch wheels. (if that matters). On the highway at a steady 65mph, I can get a solid 25mpg.

My usual mix of 75% city, 25% highway gets me an average of 16mpg this time of year..A/C usually always on.
 
i get 11-13 city and 17 highway

i think i get the low city because i took off one (the center) converter and the two resisters(?) toward the end of the exhaust and its starting to smell like gas. 03 LS
 
In the city I get about 17-19. On the freeway if I play nice, I have averaged 27-28 on a 300 mile round trip.

This is with the a/c on non stop.

04 LS V8

Premium is $2.91 here in Salt Lake now.
 
16-17 city average
21-23 hwy average


since KKM installation:
11-12 city....haha, gotta lay off the gas
 
Oh boy, you can sure tell who has the lead feet on this forum.
I drive VERY brisquely, and avg in town about 17-17.5...almost all of the time.
On the highway, I will get 20-23, depending on how much of a hurry I am.

I also have an aftermarket intake, and I believe it helps my mileage. Except for when I am hearing that sound, and keep my right foot down...:)

Super(92), is about 2.90/gal.
 
I get 18 city and 24-25 Hwy with my V8 and 20's. My milage went up 4mpg after I switched to Royal Purple and treated her with Slick 50. With the stockers I got 26-28 hwy after the RP and Slick 50.

I do around 18 in the city and it can vary on interstate driving. If I'm doing 80 i spend most of my time behind a slow driver and end up slowing down and speeding up ruining my mpg. If i do a constant smooth 70 I have gotten up to 29. If I'm still in the mountains on the interstate my mpg drops by 3 or so. The entrance of my apartment complex is a steep steep hill and I get about 5 in automatic and six if I'm really on the ball with my SST
 
2000 V8 101k miles. Bone stock. I get about 19 mixed city/hwy. 91 octane (the best i can get in nerthern Minnesota) today is 2.84/gal
