MPG...third round by drcohen
Jun 26, 2005 (8:34 am)

Well my third tank (303 miles) with mostly urban driving with roughly 60 miles of it steady 60-70 mph yielded a better 22.12 MPG. Not too bad........time will tell.
 
I'm not happy, because it only means I need to be "light footed" around town.
Hell why have all this HP teasing me and reminding me that my drivers license is important.
 
I should have purchased an economy sub-compact with no radio, 13" wheels, 98 HP, lumpy seats, no luxo stuff and just be happy to be bored with more money in the bank.

NNNNNNAAAAAHHHH.....

MPG with 100% AC and mixed driving by tawneycat

MPG is falling fast with near 100% AC usage and some city driving.
Down from 31 mpg to 27 mpg over 300 miles. Starting to want the new 06 Civic which looks pretty cool. Well, the TL is not bad either.

I continue to avg. 23mpg in weekly commutes. Last week I threw in ~120 miles of highway (averaging ~75mph, w/ a/c) cruising mixed in to a total of 330 mile for the tank. According to the computer, 25mpg.

You must have had some major headwinds. I get 35mpg with the a/c on traveling 90miles on the flats.
 
However...general mixed average is 24mpg.
 
The computer seems to be rather accurate.

and you even save more in gas if you dont step on the gas while going downhill..... now if you are as frugal as I am, you can turn off the car while going downhill for maximum gas saving!!!

I didn't measure the "highway only" mileage MPG. The overall tank which was approx 60% local/40% highway returned 25mpg per computer. One of these days I'll have to remember to reset the mpg for the highway miles.
 
I'm satisfied. Although I wish I could safely use regular unleaded!

Mixed highway 60% and city driving 40%, about 25mpg, pretty good for a 270 hp car.
