Mpg?

Hey everyone, I will be getting an X soon and I was wondering what the average mpg everyone was getting on theirs. GSR and MR.

I have the GSR and averaged 26.7 over a 500 mile trip Tuesday. It included some city driving and heavy traffic for about 50 miles and it was slow and go, the rest was 72 MPH with the cruise on.

Another trip over the past weekend I drove just short of 400 miles and got 28.5 with the cruise on 62. Not bad at all.

Probably not much off the 8... In which case I got about 18-20 city and about 25-27 freeway.

MR - For slightly aggressive city driving, I get about 16 or 17 mpg. On my 1000 mile trip home w/my car, I averaged 25.5 mpg at 67 mph (mostly highway w/some steep grades - up & down)

160-170 miles per tank, before the reflashes.

170-180 after.

Horrible

Seriously, it does pretty decent on the highway. I can get a good 26-28mpg in all highway driving. I'm lucky to get 16 if I stick to the city roads, though.

I was surprised by the large disparity. My '06 Si pretty much gets 28-30mpg no matter what you do with it. Still, I wasn't expecting it to be frugal by any means.

The problem is that the right pedal is so tempting, which doesn't help matters.

I get 19-21 in town (surface streets). Up to 25 on the highway, but I've not done much extended highway driving.

I got 220-240 miles on a tank (putting in around 12.5 gallons on a fillup

Wow! I'm guessing you like to drive aggressively.

Thats not too bad. The problem is that with my GTS I'm getting around 25 in city and 37 highway. Thats a big drop, considering that I drive a lot. Maybe I'll get a freaking scooter to drive during the week and save the Evo for the weekend.
