#88 of 95 At 60 miles by rioowner Aug 05, 2008 (4:06 am)
Is it so dumb to stop every sixty miles to get more gasoline, if you have the time to do so??? After that fiasco with the Kroger pumps, I figure I will try something a little bit different. Last night, 57.7 miles on the trip 'A'. I filled the tank. I watched the gas start in the neck, put a second of gas in, looked at the meter, and it had .2 So, the meter starts when the gasoline starts dispensing. I wanted to check that so that the meter doesn't start clicking off before the gas actually comes out of the hose. Anyway, I put .27 gallons in the tank. That is all it would hold. Figure that out. I am going to fill every sixty miles and see what I have used, and spent over the next 14 days. So, sorry to say, you may not hear from me till I get precise calculations. I know, some of you will miss me, but heck, suck it up. I'll be back.

White Kia Rio ran over a motorcylist yesterday, killing the bike rider. People need to watch those bikes, regardless of what they drive. The bikes are out there, they are seen, just some don't care, won't slow down and are always in a hurry.
#90 of 95 New to the Rio dimension. by iamninja41 Sep 02, 2008 (9:41 pm)
I traded in my 2003 Chevy Impala on sunday for a 2007 Kia Rio. I was on the "ehhhh" side about getting a car that small, but i am 20, dont have any kids, and needed better gas milege. So the kia was the cheapest (money wise) and easiest way to go.   Turns out i love the car. It is actually pretty comfy, and drives extremely well. I am still getting used to driving it. I am not used to the gas peddle and such yet, but its getting better.   I need to start writing down what i get per mile, etc. and let you guys know. I know it depends on how you drive alot. (speeding, taking off slowley from a stop, how often your city/highway driving, air conditioner/windows down, and probably what octane you get.   I will fill up my tank tomorrow and see what i can come up with.

Replying to: iamninja41 (Sep 02, 2008 9:41 pm) I anticipate your findings on miles per gallon. I did see the news where the Kia Rio will only be worth around 2500.00 in five years, and that is on a 12000.00 vehicle. That is ok. They are anticipating alot of repairs and it's past performance with maintenance. I don't give a rats butttttttt! I like the car, get great gas mileage, and it is easy on the wallet, so far anyway. You people that own Kia Rio's need to step up and state your likes and dislikes, your mpg, and whatever else is on your mind. It is boring here and I need some talkability to smoothe my day out. My wife works all day, and I am here wanting someone to chat to, related to the Rio, of course. If you are not a chatterbox, fine. Someone out there likes to chat. I just hope they own a Rio.

Replying to: boufr02 (Feb 12, 2006 2:59 pm) I have a 2008 Rio5, manual trans with over drive. On the average, I am getting 38 to 41 mpg, depending on my speed and load in the vehicle. When I am alone I get the best and when I have other people in the car with me, I get the bottom  number which is 38.   JIm Rogers
#93 of 95 Miles per tank on a Rio 2008 by dissapointing May 29, 2009 (8:42 am)
I don't know if I am wrong or what but my Kia Rio 2008 is just giving from 210-220 miles per tank. I really think that it should be more at least 280 miles per tank. How much miles per tank are your Rio's giving.
#94 of 95 210-220 miles per tank? by dissapointing May 29, 2009 (8:46 am)

Replying to: dissapointing (May 29, 2009 8:46 am) I have a 08 Rio5, and have never had better than 33 mpg highway and 29 mpg city. I do drive about 70 mph highway. I have tried driving very conservatively in the city but it is still never better than 29 mpg I expected better, but thought I had to live with it until I met a guy who owns the same type car and he said he always gets 33 mpg or better. I will try the technique of fueling more often but I don't like the idea of never having completely fresh gas in the tank.
