What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

[MS6mike]

if your getting 30 mpg on a speed6, you should sell the car and get a prius. that means you dont have fun with the car you paid to have fun in!

I only seem to get around 250 miles on a tank 'til the light comes on driving mainly in the city and I only use 94 octane. And this is mostly staying out of boost and driving pretty conservatively.

25 highway (Only time I checked it)

 

[VRMS6]

Just filled my first tank got 25mpg...

 

[3+5]

I think I could maybe get 30 hwy, but who would drive a speed6 so slow?? I mean, I'd have to be doing like, 60. Sorry, no way. They're born runners, and they look like "Grrr, get out of the way!".

i don't think you need a prius if your getting in the 30ish

guys just because i get in the 30ish does not mean you have to sell and get a prius i have a GT 500 putting over 500hp @ the rear wheels my sunday car my speed 6 is my day to day work horse and i don't know about were you guys are but down here in south florida FHP ain't playing around on the highways you do 30 over the speed limit and they can take you in to the slammer .it's a new thing down here to try and stop all agressive driving we are the worst in the nation . and trust me i do get to enjoy my speed 6 but most of the time i leave it for weekends track days @ homesteadmiamispeedway or autocross events .

i get about 22 on a normal basis, 26 is my best evar on 100% highway driving.

I'm barely getting 400kms per tank city driving. That's about 16-17mpg. Horrible. I was getting about 450 when she was new.

 

[vas6s]

I' just got done with the first tank, 21.9 - I thought it was going ti be better..

 

[Protege52003]

why have power if you cant use it!

i agree here!

when I had my 04 Jetta GLS, I would average around 17-18 with 70% city driving (the wife wound get 24-25 with the same conditions)!

drove from jersey to raleigh in one tank.... theres a post here somewhere with the specifics..

 

[wheresthericego]

.3 Mpg @ Wot

I average about 19-20. Either the more miles I get on this car the worst my mileage is or the gas sucks. When I first got it I was getting about 24mpg.

Just because you get good gas mileage doesnt mean you want to drive a prius. Some of us have routes where we don't have to stop. When you use your cruise control, the car gets pretty good MPG. Personally, I have a lot of stops all city driving. I get about 23mpg, before i moved to the city. i was getting 29mpg highway.

My Cobb AP shows 32mpg 6th gear at 62mph. I just got my cobb the other night, havent been on the highway yet to see what it averages at 70ish. Other things can cause poor gas mileage besides your driving habit -- such as the tune or wheel alignment?

..and tire tread/width, and tire pressure, and cleanliness of your air filter, etc etc.

 

[miltownsho]

First two tanks have both been 20MPG with quite a bit of freeway driving mixed with some city.

Bump for Gusto's sake.

 

[Street Sleeper]

32+ mpg!?!? are you sure you are driving a speed6!? wtf?

i get about 300 miles to a tank, about 19 mpg. best i've had is 21mpg. not getting better either.

 

[Igve2shtz]

It seriously depends on your speed, how many engine starts/stops, road cnditions, and how easy you are on your gas pedal, but it is do able

 

[Qwik6]

Keep it out of boost and could probably get 32. I can hit full boost at 2 grand.
