Replying to: inhaliburton (Sep 09, 2005 5:24 pm) wow that's great.. I did a trip Philadelphia to Baltimore (200 miles) and with some traffic got just shy of 30mpg...(2005 ZX3 AT)   overall, on 7 tanks i average 24.3 mpg... it seems that there is no way to get above about 22mpg in city driving (which is what I do mostly)...   Igor..

Replying to: igor2 (Sep 10, 2005 6:38 pm) inhaliburton is in Canada, so I believe his figure is in Imperial Gallons. 44 Imperial MPG translates to 36.6 US MPG. Still quite good. Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Oct 19, 2005 3:08 pm)

Replying to: whahappan (Oct 19, 2005 12:56 pm) thanks for the translation. is that based on an imperial gallon is 4 liters?
#8 of 76 ok I have another update.. by igor2 Oct 25, 2005 (1:20 pm)
currently at 3k miles.. the mileage has been creeping up... as I am breaking in the engine especially my city mileage goes up.. no easily around 20mpg.. and should go up further.   Igor

Get about 280 miles before low fuel light lights up
#10 of 76 03 wagon mileage by chartbear Jan 18, 2006 (8:50 pm)
Just bought a used 03 wagon. Dissapointing,  only getting about 23-24 in mixed city/highway. Just bumped up the tire pressure and put in a new air filter. We'll see how that does.
