IM GETTING 17.2-19.6..... IM HELL ON CARS:Racing:

I'm getting over 19 in town and almost 23 highway.

When I drive it to and from work I'm pushing 19 +mpg...28 mile round trip mostly urban and town driving. when I get it back after the wife has been tooling around it is usually around 17.3 or so. Her main car is a Turbo MazdaSpeed MX-5 ........take your foot out of it dear....She has this "wind 'er up and feel the turbo kick in mentality." oh well...................

Ok...gone through 2 tanks of gas now.... and around town it comes out to 18.2 mpg.

Can't wait to get in on a road trip...should be between 22-24mpg.

Just went through my first tank (lasted me 1 week exactly) and I calculated 15.49 mpg with about 98% city driving. It has about 500 miles on it now so I expect it to get better as it brakes in.

Yep, mine has started to climb and I just got my 2nd tank of gas..Im a bit heaby on the petal but Im trying to get better about that..

Im also making a 1000 mile trip in late december so I should have some good results for highway mileage then

drove mine the other night on a 225 miles round trip..... 65-70 mph most of the way..... averaged 23.2 mpg on the highway...... did some city drive and getting about 18.9 yesterday..... 650 miles on the clock now

I just did my 4th fillup on my Nitro just over 1000 miles and my mileage has gone up a bunch...im averaging about 20MPG now around town ~35mph streets

Thats when you decide to obey the speed limit!!

I see all of these great numbers and it makes me want to cry. I go through a tank a week which equates to about 250 miles with a 19.5 gallon tank. So 250/19.5 =12.8 I get stuck in traffic alot so thats what i'm blaming it on for the time being...

Well I already have 8349kms (about 5010 miles) and I put in a tank of gas every other day (I travel about 250 km a day) I have been averaging 22.4 mpg. Mainly hiway driving at 120kph or 75 mph

So the miles are going on and still rides like new. Feels a little looser on the throttle meaning it accels quicker than when it was new. :Racing:

Almost time for the second oil change:Banana01:

I have about 1200 miles on mine ... Im getting about 17.6 MPG ... however my little read out thing on the dash says im getting around 18.9 MPG ... wonder how it figures that? I have filled up a few times now and i always calculate the MPG and the actual compared to the read ot is off about 1-2 MPG.

What's your average cost for a fill up? I'm sure it's less than my F250. LOL

My Trip

Well, I have not added up receipts yet for arround town But I have the results of a recent trip to RI.

The trip was mostly Highway, 10 Hours total, with about 2 hours in slow traffic

473 miles / 23.1 GAllons = 20.4 MPG total fuel burned. Not bad for a new Engine with 1500 miles on her and origional factory oil.
(I'd expect this to get even better as the engine " Breaks In ".)

I average $58 Cnd with the curent price around 88 cents. I will check out the average fill (liters) but I dont have the numbers here with me.

Alot better than the Ram 1500 I had (no Hemee) a year ago

I don't have the 3 Weeks yet, and I'm over the 1200 Miles.
Filled up about 5-6 times, but I've been taking long Highway trips. and drive a lot in the city.

Average Cost for Fill up: $50+ V-Power
It's hurting hahaha

You must be hard on the gas..Im a the same mileage and Ive only filled up 4x (and have half a tank currently) and its been 88% stop and go/city and only 12% or less highway...and where octane gas are you putting in yours?
