So i was doing the math and I found out my ej22t wagon does about 13 miles per gallon. Its seems to be pretty bad a Daily driver. Is my mpg the average for the 22ts? If not what might be wrong with my mine. I'm use to getting 20+ on my N/A sedan so a 22t is burning a hole in my wallet.

My SS got consistent 24mpg's when it was running correctly. That's about 75% highway driving.

How are you calculating mpg's?

The way Im calculating my mpgs is my daily miles driven divided by how many gallons I have put in. So I put 6 gallons and drove 80 miles . So 80/6=13 .33

have you been beating it? city or highway mostly? any trouble codes? have you checked for codes?

Maybe I've been beating it too much but I don't rev past 3500 nothing pass that. Mostly highway. No codes. No cel

What about the basics?
Tune-up, tire pressure, etc?

Is your 4EAT working properly, what RPM @ 60 MPH is it? Is the TC locking up?

p.s. I don't believe you don't go over 3500!

i second that! hahaha these cars are way too much damn fun to drive!

Tune done. Its due for a oil change soon that's it. Ill check tomoorow. I believe it are 2800 rpm @ 60mph. Lol you guys caught me. Maybe that's the reason I'm getting bad mpgs. I go into boost like every corner. So much fun with a tleggy

Uh, you need an 'accelerator' adjustment.

2800 sounds about right.....

Drive one tank....or even 1/2 of one tank .....w/out going into boost and see what happens.

THEN, let's chat....

Not Going into boost. That's so hard to do lol. Alright

Even getting into boost a lot that seems low to me. I'm rob tuned with 550s, td05 and manual but I still get 23mpg and if I somehow manage to rice around through a whole tank I still get 19mpg.

My TW (pre-swap, also the worst MPG variant of these cars) got 17MPG around town redlinig it from almost every stop light. 19 of I treated it nicely. I got 11ish during a day of autocross, so I don't think its possible to beat 13 out of it in traffic. You definitely have an issue going on, or an issue with how its being measured (sometimes pump shutoff is inconsistent, for example).

If you beat on these cars and go crazy with boost, their mileage can be very bad.

13 really sounds low. You have to get consistent fills in order to figure your mileage accurately. Fill your tank and set your trip meter. Next time you fill your tank you will have the amount of gas and how many miles were traveled. I do it every time I fill up and you do need to fill it up every time to get an accurate figure. There is no way to get accurate mileage figures without filling the tank.

I average 17-19 mpg mixed city/hwy and I have a heavy foot.

The recent snow storm with two nights of heavy beating got me 19mpg out of a tank, highway trip gets me 24ish

Well I filled up the tank on my tw and just got down to E. So on average im getting about 21mpg. Thats much better now. Did the same test on my N/A sedan and I'm getting 28+ mpgs. I was pretty surprised.Thanks for the helps guys.

I'm getting 17-18 city on my "new" L sedan 4eat. Got some figuring out to do there.

on a trip to california this last summer i got 34 mpg coming down the central valley.

Damn that's crazy.

I get an average of 19mpg and that's a mix of 40-55 mph but my car isn't running right and I'm not stock lol

im not stock either, TD04 TMIC 3' turbo back big walbro fuel pump. all id did was use cruise control and kept my car clean on the outside.
