Gas Mileage ( 20% Hwy, 80% City) M6

SouthArk370Z · 10-23-2013, 05:36 PM

Over the last three years, I've managed from 17.6 to 25.8 MPG each fillup. Average for 51 fillups = 20.5 MPG.

I was getting anywhere from 22.5-23.8 pre-CBE/HFC. Now I'm getting 20.3-21.6.

I don't really care, but there's part of me that wants to be conscious of the MPG for some reason.

I couldn't even tell you the % of my surface streets vs. freeway. I guess it's close to 50/50 anymore.

Stock sounds about right, on my 2013 I've rarely hit more than 21mpg. Now, with my mods I went down to an avg of 18.5/18.8 (stating from the onboard system).

~18-23 MPG in NYC traffic with I/TP/E & tune...

OldGuy · 10-24-2013, 02:21 PM

My driving mix is same as yours, OP, and my car has no mechanical mods, either. I drive pretty gently, use the air sparingly and get barely 20 mpg. I guess that's pretty much "the nature of the beast." Fair price for all that fun!

My gauge says I average 24.9. It hasn't been reset in quite some time.

ZeeBabar · 10-24-2013, 07:08 PM

My fuel thing says 22.7 and average of 31 mph. It does not seem to change. How do you reset it?

Push the "page" button until you get to the MPG display. Press and hold the "dot" button until display resets. That and much, much more can be found in the Owner's Manual.

You MUST be kidding. I drove mine in the city the last 15 miles over 2 days at speed of 15.7 and I was getting 15.1 per gallon.

Ghostvette · 10-25-2013, 03:43 PM

When I first got my car, I watched gas mileage, only because my old car had an inoperative gas gauge (two states: full or empty). After I got used to having a functional gauge, I quit worrying about it. I bought the car to drive and have fun with, not worry about MPG or cost to fill it up. If you want MPG and low cost to drive, get a Honda…..

otherwise

You are talking Miles per Grin right?

Cell · 10-25-2013, 04:15 PM

Nope I am not kidding. That's because I have a nice 6266 precision turbo sitting next to my transmission.

I get between 14 and 15 MPG at 100% city driving. I just took a 500 mile road trip so my average is now reading 17.2 MPG. I was getting 22-24 MPG out on the highway.

About what I expected.

synolimit · 10-27-2013, 02:44 AM

Thank god there's highways around here. I average 24-25 mpg. I went 435 miles with 30 miles left on the till empty gauge. I think 500 is doable 100% highway taking it easy.
