For anyone that Cares about their gas milage.. Feel free to add to this post

That is an extremely high mileage. I'm assuming that your car is not stock. Either that, or that fill up is an anomaly, or you drive consistently at 40-45 mph in traffic free areas.

Regardless, you should note any of the above conditions with every fill up report that you do, otherwise the results will be tainted. Some people have tracked their mileage, and the more realistic number for combined mpg is ~ 22 mpg or 10 L/100km in a stock car with "easy" driving.

 

this is my current stats, not many records yet though

 

http://www.fuelly.com/dashboard/ is my favorite of what's out there, I wanted to use the Android app but it feels like too late of a start and I've been going with this one for a while

 

that was a mainly secondairy highway trip. I was very supprised at how far i got on the tank. and supprised at how much gas went in.. i usualy only fill about 37L worth.. and for the longest time i figured i only had a 40L tank.. so getting 42. some odd liters in the tank was supprising.
+ my car is fairly stock.. i have some intake type mods but no exhaust yet.. been tring to sell my volvo v70r wheels to sponsor that mod. no bites yet.

ps at the track i did 97km on 39L of gas. and on that fill up i thought i was on fumes..

 

All I'm saying is, posting it the way you did is the equivalent of my starting a post with "Just ran 12.3 1/4 mile." or "Just put down 350 whp on the dyno." without providing time slips, dyno sheets, or background info. The only difference is, you're more likely to upset someone when you're talking about power or performance than you are talking about mileage.

However, some people actually do track and care about their mileage, so posting up something that is very likely an anomaly or personal best and trying to pass it off as just a normal tank of gas can be insulting. There are quite a few threads floating around that discuss how to improve mileage if you search.

Here are my last six fill ups (miles/gallons/avg mpg):

293	13.74		21.32
278.6	13		21.43
276	13		21.23
250.8	12.07		20.78
263	12.25		21.47
267.7	11.542		23.19

 

Just went through all my receipts for 2011 and these are the numbers:

I commute to work via train, but the X is a DD and I drive in urban and suburban environments, very little stop and go traffic, some highway:

Total Fuel Cost: $1,452.09
Total Gallons Purchased: 380.79
Average Price per gallon: $3.82
Max Price Paid per gallon: $4.36
Min. Price Paid per gallon: $3.33

I drove 8,500 miles, giving me an average of 22.32 MPG which is high due to missing receipts, so I'll factor in $240 worth of addition fuel (1 additional $20 purchase per month, which is about 15% of the known total spent)) and I get about 443.61 gallons for a conservative corrected rate of 19.16 MPG. I can safely say the X (w/ TC-SST) averages 20MPG if you don't abuse the car 24/7.

 

^i average almost like that.

btw, where do you get those apps that track your fuel economy?

 

I've monitored 5 tanks so far, one had some launches and a day of autocross on it. Through 5 those 5 tanks I had a combined 1000+ miles and right at 21.6mpg.

I haven't checked (formally) on the other tanks, but over the course of 10k miles I'd say 21/22 is my average.

 

I hope people don't top off so you can get the most accurate numbers. But my mpg Is about average 22.15 mpg. 100% pure highway. Done the cause of a 1400 mile round trip drive
This is driving with no boost at all... All under vacuum
Mods are built motor. Pte 5857 turbo. Aem ecu dynoed 437 at 24.5 psi. I think the tune for cruising needs to be leaner. Can't say afrs yet cause at the start my wideband isn't reading right. Reason for that I found out I's before the trip o found that b4 the wideband o2 sensor is another place for an o2 sensor that was plugged but fell off so afrs are out of wack.

Also speed was avg 73 mph rpm was between 3000-3300
Stock body rims and rear spoiler. This is today. And I'm still driving as I type this

 

I believe it should be better. Need to talk to the tuner

 

My last 3 fill ups

11.7 gallons 260 miles
11.5 gallons 260 miles
12.5 gallons 270 miles

I drive about 60 to 120 miles a day.
Mostly highway miles

I travel between 55 to 70 miles per hour.
Most of the time around 55 to 60

 

There should be a thread that is only highway driving other ways has too many factors
