#21 of 117 Big Tank? by mikemir87 May 05, 2007 (9:46 am)
Is it really 15.9? Because when its bone dry gas light and all (like last night) the max i can put in is like 12.3 Gallons... As for MPG's i have beefier tires which may cause an issue but this past winter i was getting like 18-19 mpg as an average with mix of highway and city driving, but lots of traffic in RI so..   but the past month or so my average has gone up. two weeks ago i got 21.5 mpg and i was shocked and siked and this week i got 22.2!!! this week had a bit more highway but still, that was huge. To the tank i got 275.5 miles which was a record...my usual is 240 which is decent and my lowest this winter was like 212, and i wasnt happy about that at all...But ive been thinking about maybe trading it in due soley to mpg and it seems like it knows and is getting better so i keep her lol...

My last tank I got 356 miles. I am on mostly highway and very little city and I still have the stock tires. My car isn't even really broken in yet! Replies to this message: 0311vn (Jul 27, 2008 7:44 am) ccirelli (Jul 28, 2008 6:46 am) 0311vn (Jul 28, 2008 7:10 am) and 2 more...
#23 of 117 AWD 05 EX MT 22-26mpg 27mpg once by dslightam May 12, 2007 (8:35 am)
Stock tires, 30k miles. I love this vehicle but MPG is the one thing that makes me feel guilty about buying it. Yeah, I know, I know ,it's not THAT bad, but it's not all that much better then the cars I owned growing up. Granted it's a huge rolling box, my dog loves it, the wife and I can sleep in it on a futon (!)...but still.   Sometimes I kid myself that taking out the back seats will reduce the weight and increase the MPG. The best MPG I ever got was 27mpg on a road-trip that was 90% hwy and actually had a Yakima box on the top! Weird. I have an 11 mile commute. Usually I get 24. I'm not an aggressive driver but I have my moments.   BTW, I think the tank is 15.9 gallons (according to the manual) but the gas light comes on at about 12 gallons.

hi everyone, i am looking at a used 2007 and am hoping that it gets better mileage than most of you are stating. should i assume that the 2007 because of the 5sp auto trans will do a little bit better? the one i am looking at has only 5,000 miles on it-wondering if gas mileage is why they got rid of it.

Replying to: lablover2 (Jun 04, 2007 3:08 am) 07 Element SC Automatic. City only driving, I have been getting around 18 mpg just about each time I go to the pumps. Not a heavy footer, or breaker. 1,000 miles on OD at this time after 5 months of ownership. ( I only drive about 200 miles per month )
#26 of 117 2005 automatic 2wd EX by jdarsey Jun 05, 2007 (2:26 pm)
20,800 miles on odometer, I get 20mpg, replaced stock tires after 11,000miles *grumble*
#27 of 117 '07 4wd, Automatic by 1racefan Jun 11, 2007 (10:03 am)
Filled ours up yesterday...We got 23.5mpg, with mostly city driving on this last tank.   This vehicle typically only gets driven to and from work by my wife, and stays garaged the rest of the time. I have only had it on 1 highway trip since we got it 15 months ago, and we got 26 mpg on that trip if I recall correctly.
#28 of 117 Horrible MPG by ragets Jun 16, 2007 (5:31 am)
I was so mad this past week about my MPG!!!!!! I went and stayed at my friends house, who lives in Wheeling, West Virginia. I only got 14 MPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never gotten that bad of MPG. My best was 30, all highway. I hope not every time I drive in the city I will get that bad of mileage. I just hit 1,040 miles on my '07 EX 4wd Auto.   I wonder what went wrong.
