I had a 19 touring fwd with my 20 inch Asanti inch wheels. Stocks were 17x7.5 (225/65/17) weighing 59lbs vs the 20x8.5 weighing 49lbs (255/45/20).
For the 2 years of ownership and 28k miles I could never get better than 21/22 average mpg and I drove like a grandpa the first year trying to get good MPG.
I recently turned it in for a 21 GTR AWD turbo and first off can I say I wish I went turbo from the beginning. I’d sacrifice a little mpg if I knew I was only going to get 21mpg when it previously claimed 25/31 with the 19 touring.
I swapped my 20s over to my 21 GTR and so far and am getting 20mpg. It claims 22/27 and I’ve read average is usually 22/23. I’m happy with 20 with this GTR being it’s awd / turbo. My first 2 tanks driving mainly hwy and driving mpg conscious I’ve gotten 20mpg thus far.
I wonder if it’s the slight change in wheel size or if this is normal for mpg on both models. I always thought 21 mpg for the 19 fwd touring was too low. Shoulda been 25/26 average IMO.
Guys with aftermarket wheels, what’s your average for your make and model (Location Southern California).
