What mileage are you getting?

[dficken]

hmmm... that's weird.
Maybe I should try resetting my ECU.

 

[GXL]

375 a gas tank with mostly city driving, 430+ on the hwy!!
It's a great little car.

 

[KYREDP5]

My average take usually lasts me 390 miles untill the low fuel light comes on. I believe thats somewhere around 32-33 mpg. NOt bad, hopefully will increase when I put the grounding kit in.

 

[Edison_Chen]

would breaking in the car very early affect the gas milege??

 

[jeovanni]

milage

I'm only getting 23 to 27 miles/gallon. I do have a bike rack, so I guess It's OK.(nuts)

 

[Mackdaddy]

Ditto

you guys are lucky.
I have the auto and get about 23 (combo of highway and city driving)

Best I've seen was ~28 mpg on the trip to Carlisle and back.

BTW - I've got a RB catback, and Injen CAI. They don't do s*** for milage..... but it sounds / runs good!

 

[MazdaP5]

I do between 500 and 600 km with a tank depending of the driving...

What do you mean by very early? Like gunning it to redline after only a few miles? I doubt that would help things.

sort of....

maybe not quite a few miles.. but around 450 km's, like just reving it while not moving.....

And what's the point of doing that?

I've calculated the mileage twice so far (only had the car for just over a week) the first time my driving was more aggressive and i got 331 miles on the tank using 12.05 gallons of fuel(89 octane) translates to just slightly over 27 MPG. combination of highway and local driving(suburbs). the second time I wasnt driving so hard and was a little less local driving I did only slightly better. 12.14 gallons and 340 miles=exactly 28MPG. (89 octane)
I have a 5 speed manual tranny, injen intake and cat back R3 Racing exhaust, (and not sure if the previous owner put a new chip in, dont know how to find out of if there even is one available for our cars) The car also already has 40k plus miles. I am sure I can do better with the mileage, but I cant stop driving the car aggressively, It's SO much friggin FUN!!!!!

Thanks for making the conversion for us backward folks.

 

[hiaguy]

after just over 64000Km (that's about 40000 miles) I've averaged 29.97 mpg.
best tank mileage - 38.67
most fun tank - 25.05

did I mention that that's for an imperial gallon?
works out to 32.21 and 20.86 per US gallon.

Re: milage

I wonder if that's the difference.. I have a rack too and have yet to break 30... usualy right around 26-28 regardless of roads..

Hell I if couldn't break 30mpg driving across this last weekend I probably never will

edit, why don't my "img" tags work?

 

[Reitrof]

usually 27-28 mixed urban and some highway. Best was 34, highway and with a full load.

Will be towing a small trailer this summer, curious to see what will happen to the mileage.

 

[Edison_Chen]

And what's the point of doing that?

I had bought a MS exhaust (this is my first aftermarket exhaust)

wanted to hear the rev..

If you only did it a few times, you should be fine. Just don't keep it there for a long time.

 

[eMKay]

Wow, I must be in the "lead foot" category since I never get above 26

 

[spankee]

Mileage...

I've got a stock P5 with a manual, and I get exactly the mileage advertised on the window sticker - 26 city / 31 hwy.
