#12 of 17 Recent Trip by exploder750 Apr 10, 2007 (1:34 pm)
2004 Quest S, 76,000 miles, Quaker State synthetic oil, Fram Air Hog air filter, regular gas, 87 octane. Outdoor temp approx. 39F, calm day, 190 mile round trip, fairly flat roads, overall average of 49mph, never exceeded 65mph. Computer showed 28.4 mpg overall. The computer tends to show approx. 1 mpg high, so I'd estimate we did about 27.4 mpg. Very pleased with this, it's about 1 mpg better than our last similar trip this past October.
#13 of 17 Worse with cruise? by ernie144 Sep 04, 2007 (6:35 pm)
Last vacation, one way the traffic was sparse, and kept the cruise on 72 (yes, my mileage falls off quite a bit above 70). Got 23.5 mpg. Return trip, more traffic, so couldn't use the cruise, but still averaged about 71 (per computer) and got 25.5 mpg. I've noticed the cruise tends to downshift a lot, so maybe I'm smarter than the car Replies to this message: ivan_99 (Sep 04, 2007 8:35 pm) rick_wally (Jan 16, 2008 1:55 pm) ivan_99 (Jan 17, 2008 6:43 pm)

Replying to: ernie144 (Sep 04, 2007 6:35 pm) I've noticed the cruise tends to downshift a lot, so maybe I'm smarter than the car   Exactly, it down-shifts all the time...plus without it you gain "free" acceleration when going down hill if you speed a little; with the cruise it keeps you at the set speed going down hill, then freaks out when the decent stops and it encounters an uphill...annoying.

Van has 86k on it, and has never gotten better than 21 mpg hwy even at relatively close to the 65 mph speed limit in the northeast. Averages 18 mpg around town. Not great, but not horrible either.

Replying to: ivan_99 (Sep 04, 2007 8:35 pm) 17.5 - 20mpg. Driving style makes all the difference. Replies to this message: ivan_99 (Jan 17, 2008 6:43 pm)

Replying to: rick_wally (Jan 16, 2008 1:55 pm) Somewhat, idling for 45mins also cuts into your mileage (wife waiting for school pick up).
