Replying to: denvecsr (Jul 04, 2009 6:15 am) Normal? 31mpg is normal at 70+mph? I disagree, unless a Corolla can't hold a candle to a Civic (which, at least in fuel economy, I think they're quite competitive). After a 300 mile trip at 72 mph Cruise I achieved 37mpg in a 2007 Civic EX Automatic. My girlfriend got 35mpg in my 2.4L Accord Automatic, who was in front of me for the entire trip, cruise set as well.
#3063 of 3074 another possibility for lower mpg by morin2 Jul 04, 2009 (8:40 am)
If your concern is for a single reading based on a single re-fueling, consider that fuel pumps vary, sometimes considerably. Depending on how much fuel you pumped, it might not take a large difference in pump calibration to give the appearance that your mpg was off once.   I bring this up because I knew a guy who worked for the state "Bureau of weights & measures" who actually measured the amount of fuel using a large graduated cylinder at the fuel pumps. He said there was considerable variation on both sides and that sometimes the pumps gave less fuel but occasionally were even pumping more than their meters indicated. The lesson I learned in that was that the few pennies savings from one station to another could be meaningless because the variation in volume of the fuel could easily offset any savings of a few pennies. Yet people persist in driving extra miles to a pump that is marked 2 cents cheaper....

Replying to: backy (Jul 04, 2009 7:38 am) It appears that it's low only in this individual anecdotal case. This is more likely a specific driver/vehicle/situational issue. Others have noted values above 40 mpg, but also anecdotal. Replies to this message: backy (Jul 04, 2009 9:47 am) echo2001 (Jul 13, 2009 12:59 pm)

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jul 04, 2009 9:35 am) I would think so, but the one poster said 31 mpg on the highway was "normal", which is what I was commenting on. Replies to this message: echo2001 (Jul 13, 2009 12:59 pm)

#3068 of 3074 bike rack by abchin486 Jul 06, 2009 (4:10 pm)
what do you guys use for a bike rack? I have an 09 S with spoiler....that spoiler seems to ruin everything...the guy at ORS racks says it should fit, but it does not seem like the Thule Speedway trunk rack with fit b/c the spoiler gets in the way....

Replying to: backy (Jul 04, 2009 9:47 am) I get an average of 34 mpg 50% city 50% hwy
