Gas Millage
 

so whats your average gas gas mileage on the z? i have a touring with sport and i used to get 15.7 with s-mode and i just turned it off yesterday and i get 15.9 now. and also whats you driving style?

i usually rev it to 2k rpm while taking off on first and after that i shift before 3k rpm. so when i reach 40 im in 5th gear.

i read someones post that they were getting 25mpg. Am i doing something wrong or is the computer on the car not accurate? i dont have a heavy foot either.

does anyone actually use 6th gear on normal roads? not counting freeways

'Millage' - You just gave birth to a new word in the english language - congratulations, it's beautiful.

revving to 2k to take off will put a lot of wear on your clutch. it is NOT necessary to rev that high, even on an i4 let alone a v6.

same here i would love to know how someone is gettign 25+ mpg


i drive on the highway every day to work for 15 min my commute is all highway and i do not go above 65mph and shift below 4k (still in break in at 500 some odd miles)

i dont get it my milage is terrible.

Not going to comment on your 2k takeoffs however if fuel economy is what your after I suggest skipping gears! For example 1-3-5

i drive like a normal person. but i have a 7AT. right now, it's telling me i have 23.0.

OHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD I MISSPELLED A WORD WE ARE ALLL GONNAAAAAAAAAAAA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

ur funny :rolleyes:

aside from buullsshhiitt my MPG says that i get 15.9 and my MPH says i get 20.
whats MPH? is it miles per hour?


i take off from 1k now and i was skipping gears but not every time. ill give it a try and see what happens.

I'm getting around 19 in mixed driving at the moment. The real-time display is usually hovering just below 30 on the highway.

For economy you generally want to be in the highest gear that doesn't burden the engine. So 5th at 40mph is good and 6th at 50mph.

Everything is still a little tight on a new car and mileage will often improve as you approach 10K miles.

Average Miles per Hour. You can reset this display to start clean, otherwise it is averaging everything since the car was dropped off the truck at the dealer.

yeah my car does the same but im not talking about the bar that tells you how much your getting at the moment. im talking about the MPG and MPH, i still dont get why it says that i get 15.9, but ill try skipping gears and different take off methods.

how do i reset it? is it in the book?

Yes I know what display you are on. To reset it just hold the button, it's in the book somewhere.

I have a 7sp AT and am getting between 20.5 MPG and 21.7 MPG in town and I am pretty hard on it. I have gotten 25.5 on the Highway on an entire tank. I don't know why I am getting this good MPG. Thoughts?

Ok since i drive more City than Highway using the average MPG with average MPH gets me at 23mpg at 38mph.

But if i reset the meter while on the highway at 65 i can get 26mpg, obviously due to i dont have any City driving to lower my average.

Driving a 60 mile trip highway only, no city averaged me 28mpg with a fresh reset of the mpg measurer.

basicly the Key to all of this is NOT what the car gets, its what you "average" on your daily habbits. You might get 30mpg on the highway if you drive it for 10 minutes only (on the highway of course) but if you put in a Hour in the city you would never know it due to it would get averaged out.

oh ok ill try it in a lil bit and see what happens
