A friend and I drove up to the north side of Lake Texoma and back today. The trip was 194 miles including the sight seeing part and I filled up the car when I got back and it took 5.09 gallons.

Did nothing but in town driving for a little over two weeks and went 285.3 miles and it took exactly 10.00 gallons to fill up......28.5 mpg.  Last fillup was may 26.

1152 mile trip from Harrisburg PA to the Outer Banks of NC and back: 37.9 mpg on the trip down, nearly all highway at 55-75 36.2 mpg after driving on the Outer Banks 35.2 mpg overall mileage which included about 50 miles of heavy stop and go driving at different points between Richmond, VA, and Alexandria, VA, and an accidental detour through downtown Norfolk, VA and Virginia Beach. Car definitely gets its best mileage around 70-75. Should also note that I have an SES related to a throttle position problem which induced a lot of unwanted "feathering" like I was removing my foot from the pedal and then applying pressure again. It also triggered limp mode five times (three of which were on the outer loop around D.C., which was lovely...) and I had to pull over and restart the car to clear it. This almost certainly harmed my mileage, but by how much, I couldn't tell.

Replying to: aveoctb (Jun 23, 2008 5:28 am) It puzzles me, however, that you claim the best mileage at 70-75 MPH. That defies all currently known science about fuel comsumption as it relates to engine rpm, wind resistance, etc. Again, glad you are happy with it...

Replying to: poncho167 (Jun 28, 2008 3:43 am) This week, I saw one of the convertible Geo's we spoke about earlier. It was a red LSi, but it had been "rode hard and put up wet", so to speak. Even at that, it still appeared to be running just fine...

Replying to: poncho167 (Jun 29, 2008 4:09 am) I wonder if the top was made out of cardboard, like the bumpers were? Although, that car would definitely be a collector's item today....but by who, I don't know... |
