I have an auto. And I use the sport-shift mode all the time.+ friction said:Do you have an auto or manual? That might make a few miles difference...
thats low....i have been getting 26-27 on some fast highway trips. i believe we have the winter gas up here in MA now and that hurts milage by about 5% or more. i got one 26.79 MPG with astral driving between 80-95 going up to greg's last weekend. i was not driving fast enough for him so i let him drive.......kgo said:that's just under 21 mpg....so yeah....i agree with friction, it's not good.

I don't push the car, I basically use it to commute back and forth to work during the week and go have fun on the weekends. This is my last 10 fillups:

As it is I run the tires at 35 psi and I take the car in for regular fluid and filter changes per the manual. Are there any ways to squeeze more mileage out of this car, or is it time to sell and buy a Civic instead?
kgo said:how fast do you drive it? i've been playing around with the mpg's for various speeds. i notice that when i drive it like a grandma on the highway (55mph) i get about 28mpg. at 65mph -> 25mpg, 75 mph -> 23.5mpg roughly. so you dont necessarily have to push it hard off the line, just the constant highway speed isn't made for current day gas conservation.
