Post what your get. and why.

You might want to be a little more descriptive about the poll... Are those numbers for city or highway driving?

good idea to make this a poll so the results are easy to understand. this should become a sticky since it is frequently asked.

I just kinda figured it was average.

Considering highway and city driving, I get around 22-23 with AWD and 20-50w oil.

I am so smart "SMRT"

gotten as bad as 17 and as good as 29. typical is 26. driving style is cruising around at 1500rpm and occaisionally getting on it through the top of 3rd.

I am going to leave this stickied until traffic dies down, and then will link to it in the sticky compilation thread.

I don't like multiple stickies.

Perhaps 2WD owners need to be taken into account, or recomended not to vote.

2wd didn't make much hill a beans difference.

I got better mileage with my AWD 5spd n/a then I did with FWD 4eat.

Oh, I'm actually quite surprised. Good, now I feel even better about having AWD.

I've gotten over 27MPG once, by my calculations. Normally I get 25-26 with mixed driving.

Keep in mind that this is a modded 2.5L 5MT AWD car that weighs over 3400lbs.

The gas mileage is one reason to not go turbo

FWIW, my 93 5MT Touring Wagon almost always got 20-22MPG.

It took me a while to find the appropriate calculators to convert km and litres to mpg lol. I usually get 410 to 450 miles per tank in my 2006 liberty with EJ20 quad cam n/a 5sp.
Usual mpg is 29.40 but it has been known to hit 33.60 on pure high way driving.

23 at best, n/a.

Reason: CEL for the o2 sensor thanks to a ghetto muffler shop's hack job on a new cat. I've seen 28.

I used to get 28 mpg on the freeway before I put in the vf8, and at worst I'd see 19 in the city. I now see 17-18, but no better than 22 mixed city/freeway driving. I think full freeway I get around 24-26. I hear the MSD ignition helped out fuel economy a bit.

You need another option. One that is like 18-22

Very interesting. Recently noticed the vacuum lines from the Duty Solenoid Valve to the air resonator and intake to the purge control solenoid were disconnected. Re-attached those and installed a new fuel filter. My pure city driving went from ~16 to 20 mpg. My pure highway driving went from ~18 to 24 mpg! .

Thats a pretty impressive change for 'minor' things.

there's no option for 16 mpg N/A

30-32 mpg all day long.

I did a complete tuneup last summer. FWD 5speed.

Just got over 26 mpg in my SS on a North Carolina trip for a wedding. Never go too fast by yourself, follow people going 80+ all day and your gas mileage stays decent. I got 370 miles on one tank and still only needed 14 gallons to fill up.

27 mpg highway, NA 4.111 5MT with AWD.

I drove down to Oregon and got about 28 highway but usual is 23 to 24 mpg with a mix of city and highway (mostly city). It used to average between 21 to 22 but I replaced the fuel filter and switched to synthetic oil 5W-30. I try to stay around 2500 RPMs because my NA 4EAT seems to accelerate the best without sacrificing fuel economy.

I just 19.68 :woot:
for me that is impressive.

i got 28mpg (canadian gallon) the other week in my 92 ss all highway

I can get 300km going from full to hitting the bottom of the gauge and with 10 litres left reserve.
Something is seriously wrong with my car.
