Gas Mileage?

[Newf]

How many kms are you guys generally getting per tank of gas? Before it was getting cold, I was geting about 500-520...somtimes 490 if I drove hard that week. lowest I've ever seen was 490.......until it got cold. Last tank was 470. This tank I got now, looks to get worse.

Hey Newf im one of the few guys on here that might understand KM's ha ha (being a Canuck and all)...I was getting 550+ to the tank or thereabouts...although a lot of my driving is highway into and out of Toronto...im a little lower, but im sure itll drop to about 500 once it gets cold as a bastard!

im getting around 24mpg i dont understand the metric talk when i had a flat and had my doughnut on i was getting like 33mpg. since i drove it so slow :mad:

i usually get about 27-29 mpg, i shift between 2500-3000 and do about 70 on the freeway. sorry i dont know how to convert between mile and kil

thanks guys. 550 kms seems on par with what I get. Since I live in a small town, I do mostly city driving. ON the highway I go above 550 myself. But, I haven't had the car long enough to know the highway drving much.

For those who can't convert kms-miles or vice versa...here

20~22 mpg for mine. Usually 1st->2nd->3rd in 5000rpm.

1 mile= 1.61km.

My mileage I think it terrible, the last tank I got about 400 Km for 45 liters roughly. That is terrrible.

I think I am getting about 23 mpg country driving, or hwy driving.

Don't know why but the mileage just doesn't seem right. I drive it hard, but this is a little stupid right now. I am thinking I will wait until I put 8000 Km on it and after my first oil change before I complain.

good lord, some you shift early as hell. I drive about 45 miles a day and don't fill up for 2 weeks. I don't shift outta first until between 6500 and 7000(when the limiter kicks in)RPM. I have an intake also but my car runs rich. I usually run through the the gear before shifting too. Oh and for a safety note: Don't pop the clutch to cause a burn-out in 1st. Doing so can shatter the flywheel and send it up through the floorboards. Not a pretty site.

i'm averaging b/w 26.5 mpg and 30 mpg, depending, of course, on how i drive.
