Replying to: packer3 (Mar 11, 2009 2:08 pm) 2 miles each way? No wonder. You'll get crappy mileage regardless of what you drive. Your car never gets warmed up, and uses more fuel in the process.

Replying to: packer3 (Mar 11, 2009 2:08 pm) Grad's right. Your drive is your mpg.

Replying to: blufz1 (Mar 11, 2009 5:00 pm) Takes me 10 mins to get there 5 lights, my car is parked in a heated garage at night and a regular garage during the day, besides the highway mileage is just as bad on a straight run my Malibu got 37mpg hwy this car hasn't broken 27 yet.

Replying to: blufz1 (Mar 11, 2009 5:00 pm) ........exiting the northern CA rain for the sunny climes of San Diego and Phoenix: 1972 miles/60.3 gallons of 87 octane. That's just under 32.7................. finally broke the 40 MPG barrier between Gila Monster Bend and Yuma and then again between Gorman and Lodi.................it sure took a lot of odometer miles. (65k) This is a really decent auto. I want an MX-5 to fit when my old sailboat/trailer once slept...................but that will be strictly for around town..............the 6M for long distance (please note above) is hard to beat. 2200 rpm/6th gear/no ac/cruise equals pure linear efficiency (IMHO)....... all the best from our left coast, ez............

Replying to: ezshift5 (Mar 11, 2009 6:51 pm) That's great, ez. You've been trying hard for a long time. I believe you are the first V6 owner to join the 40 mpg club.

Replying to: ezshift5 (Mar 11, 2009 6:51 pm) Good job!!! The manual is that efficient? lol 2200 rpm/6th gear/no ac/cruise equals pure linear efficiency (IMHO)... Speed? Replies to this message: ezshift5 (Mar 12, 2009 7:06 am) carzzz (Mar 12, 2009 11:55 am) ezshift5 (Mar 12, 2009 5:02 pm)

Replying to: packer3 (Mar 11, 2009 5:08 pm) 10 minutes for two miles; so you're driving with more stop than go. And, heated garage means nothing. Your engine is headed for 200 degrees. 30 degrees or 60, its still going to take a while for your car to get to normal temp.
#2518 of 2666 Re: MPG........GenVII 6M [carzzz] by ezshift5 Mar 12, 2009 (7:06 am)
Replying to: carzzz (Mar 11, 2009 7:37 pm) ''''''''6th gear at 2200 RPM works out to 66 MPH............. The 6M transmission isn't perfect (TSB for 3rd gear synchro issue) however with the top two gears being overdrives......well let's just say it loves the Interstate!! best, ez,,,, Replies to this message: carzzz (Mar 12, 2009 11:55 am) ezshift5 (Mar 12, 2009 5:02 pm)

Replying to: ezshift5 (Mar 11, 2009 6:51 pm) Congrats! I'm envious. Too many big time, bass fishing hooksets (tendonitis),prevent me from driving a manual. Good thing you didn't get "Stuck in Lodi" like John Fogerty.

Replying to: ezshift5 (Mar 12, 2009 7:06 am) V6 5AT works out to be around 2000 rpm at 66 mph on 5th with torque converter locked-up. I always thought lower rpm = better mpg, but it may not necessary be true. Replies to this message: ezshift5 (Mar 12, 2009 5:02 pm)
