Best Mileage

Thought I'd see how much mileage everyone is getting with their vehicles. So far my best was 7.7L/100KM or 30.55MPG. I even attached a picture so you guys don't think I'm full of it. This was averaged over a 2.5 hour drive doing about 90-100km on regular roads.
Thanks,

-Ralliheart

Highest I've seen mine was around the high 27~ low 28 mpg (or 8.7l/100km). This was after flashing to the GST basemap, and cruising on the freeway @ 70 for about 3.5 hours.

On average though, I usually get 20~21 mpg with mixed driving, and 23~24 on hwy driving.

I got the best gas mileage earlier in the week when I hit 29.3 MPG. I was driving an average of 55-65 MPH, and I had to go over two mountains.

The best I've done in the past is 28 mpg. However, with my new Cosworth drop-in high performance air filter I bet I could get 29 or 30 mpg, but I haven't had a chance to take the car on a long enough trip since the installation to verify any improvement.

Think the highest I have ever seen was 24mpg on the highway and usually 19-20 around town.

I saw 27 once, never higher than 24 otherwise, even when really trying to get the best mpg possible on long trips. I have noticed i can get the best mpg driving in manual on normal mode. Typically about 1mpg more (in my mind at least).

On a side note - The center display on the 2010 models is a hundred times nicer than the '09. It actually pi$$es me off a little.

I got 31MPG earlier this week on my 25 mile drive to work. I did about 70MPH the entire way (it's all down hill). Traffic is ~light~ in LA at 5:30AM. That same day, I did 19MPG going home; typical stop and go traffic going past downtown LA and all up hill.

I'm on track for my best tank average right now. I have about 200miles on the first half tank. I might be able to eek it up to 375/380 before I have to refill.

It really all depends on the type of traffic you're in and how you drive. Alot of downshifting to slow and only breaking when necessary. When I did that run it was from Bolton to Owen Sound going through all little towns and up and down hills through the Niagara Escarpment. I think that trip I got about 640km (about 400 miles). The trip said 700km (434 miles) but I don't know, that's pushing it. These damn computers always think they're smarter than the driver!

This morning I finally got the opportunity to do a trip to work from a farther place without much traffic early in the morning. The road has a lot of up/down hills. As you can see if keep it going I can get even higher numbers.

You can see the results above.

This is a custom reflashed 09 ralli with 250whp/257wtq with HKS DropIn, Injen Upper Pipe kit and EVOX BOV.

I drive about 20 miles to and from work, and its all stop and go so i get around 20-25 miles. If i use the the expressway i can get a bit more. if im mashing on the gas, the tank doesnt last long it will eat it up

Wow. That 2010 display IS 100 times better. Makes me consider buying a new Ralliart.

My best was driving down from Tahoe. About 300 miles to my house from Tahoe got me 31 MPG.

Worst I got was 8 MPG. That was at a track day at Infineon raceway.

I normally average 19-21 MPG mixed driving.
