You'll have to do better than that. There is a difference between US and Imperial MPG, please specify...

48 IMP = 40 US MPG

5.89 l/100 km

edit:I don't always use the same car or drive to work so I'll give my total personal gas purchasing consumption over the last 5 months - 162 US gallons.

 

[LordOpie]

My jeep sucks, so I ride my motorcycle whenever possible.

 

[BigMike]

My Pathfinder gets about 18

 

[Total Heckler]

I get about 21 MPG in my Audi 1.8TQ. If I actually drive on a highway I get a lot more. But my commute is over a nice big twisty road. I also drive more aggressive than most.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

About 14 mpg.

 

[jimmydean]

14mpg. My truck gets the same mileage around town, on the freeway, pulling 1/2 ton of hay, falling off a cliff, it doesn't matter.

I drive as little as possible. I will get about 22mpg when I install the new motor next year and it will be E85 compliant as well. Still not bad for a 37 year old truck pushing a little over 350hp.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Subaru - around 25mpg
Honda - around 20mpg

 

[Quo Fan]

Tacoma 4X4, around 21.

 

[dan-o]

my truck gets about 11/15 (city/hwy)
our E320 wagon gets 20/25

 

[mogulskr]

My Explorer - 17 -18
Wife's Expy - 13 - 14

 

[Zark]

2000 toyota Tacoma 2wd, 2.4l-inline4.
18 city - 24 fwy.
I average around 20mpg

 

[stevew]

If I am feeling frisky, I might drive more than 10 miles in a week. It's about 400 miles less a week than what I was driving in CO. Then it was 25-27 mpg, with a high of 30mpg once or twice.

Now, I honestly don't give a sh!t.

 

[eaterofdog]

I am getting 560,000 rods to the hogshead. Way better than you rednecks in your trucks.

Honda Pilot 17/22

FYI, EPA sticker is bullsh*t, you aren't getting 17/22.

This will change soon, depending on the vehicle, due to revised EPA testing standards. Mileage will drop 5-30% to come closer to reality.

The new EPA fuel economy regulations consist of the following three elements:

1. Revised testing procedures to more accurately reflect today's traffic conditions, driving habits and vehicle usage.
2. New labeling for window stickers to provide more information that is easier to understand.
3. The inclusion of SUVs and vans with between 8,500 and 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) in the testing process.

...

Revised testing procedures
The EPA has determined that changes to the testing procedure will produce fuel economy estimates that more accurately match what consumers will actually experience. The agency has also determined that important factors are missing from the current tests. Consequently, the new tests will include:

* Testing at higher speeds (up to 80 mph). Previously, speeds were limited to 55 mph to match the speed limit of the 1970s.
* More aggressive acceleration and deceleration (up to 8 mph per second rather than just 3.3 mph per second). The previous tests did not match today's hectic traffic patterns.
* Hot-weather testing and measuring vehicle fuel economy while using the vehicle's air conditioner.
* Testing in cold-weather temperatures while the vehicle's heater and defroster are operating.

Drivers will quickly notice a big difference between the fuel economy estimates using the testing methods prior to 2008 and the new testing methods.

* City ratings will drop by an average of 12 percent. The fuel economy estimates of hybrid vehicles and other vehicles designed for high fuel economy might drop up to 30 percent of their existing rating.
* Highway ratings will drop by an average of 8 percent while hybrids and other specialized fuel economy vehicles might be reduced by up to 25 percent.

You probably really get about 17-18 mpg real world overall.

 

[Angus]

33 mpg (manual)

Cherokee Sport (V6) - 16mpg +/-

[Wumpus]

Honda CRV(4 banger) ~ 25mpg

Haven't even gone through a tank of gas on the Toyota van(v6) yet, but probably around 20 mpg.

 

[captainpolution]

grand cherokee- 15
cherokee chief- 10

 

[golgiaparatus]

Hyundai Elantra GT 26/32 Roughly, I have a lead foot though.

 

[TreeSaw]

Equinox - 22
Stratus - 32

 

[RhinofromWA]

2000 Dodge Dakota 3.9L V6 5 spd geared real tall. I run about 2k RPM when cruising at 70mph

17-19mpg around town or pulling stuff... or sitting in traffic

20-23mpg highway... better if I stay around 55mph or so. If i am running 70+/- then it is 20.

 

[blue]

The Jetta VR6 gets 17-19 in town, depending on how assy I drive, and between 25-30 on the freiway. With the engine rebuild it should get a little better.

 

[I Are Baboon]

24 in my Outback, I think.

The Yukon XL we rented in tahoe last week got 8.

 

[narlus]

i routinely average 33-35 mpg in my honda civic, per tankful. most of my driving is the leisurely 10 mile commute to work, coupled w/ 60 mile round trip drives into boston for shooting bands.

 

[stoney]

subie ~25

 

[caputo1989]

My Land Cruser gets about 10-15mpg

 

[mastercycleman]

BMW Z3 1.9, about 30 MPG, if i dont drive "fast"

 

[johnbryanpeters]

17.6 lifetime average for the Chevy Astro van so far.

 

[scottishmark]

Sorry mess things up with imperial but:

the VW Golf 1.8 Turbo GTI is got 31.5 mpg over the last 2.5k miles (according to the computer)

the new car, a 2.0 TDCI Mondeo seems to be getting somewhere around 55 mpg and will get better when I save the pennies for a remap.

 

[hungryleprican]

55?!?

 

[scottishmark]

yup, by the looks of it i'll be getting a good bit over 600 miles from a 58 litre tank. Time will tell on that front though, as i mentioned before it should get even better (to the tune of 3-4%) if i get it remapped.

Just in case anyone's thinking this is a silly wee city car, it isn't.

(edit: for perspective, the wheels are 18s)

 

[BadDNA]

3/4 ton Dodge Diesel, 18-24 mpg

 

[ParanoidAndroid]

My Chrysler Cirrus does round abouts 22mpg...

Would be better if I could keep my foot out of it

 

[dhbuilder]

i gotta 70 monte carlo that's been tweaked to say the least.
dynos out at a sh.tpot of h.p. at the rear wheels.
we don't talk about gas mileage.
worth every gallon when mustang gt's get smaller in the mirror.


but my main ride is a 85 celica gts.
290,000 miles and still gets 27 to 30 m.p.g.
