#21 of 345 41.08 mpg by nippononly Nov 13, 2006 (9:32 pm)
which was 417 miles and 10.15 gallons. And included an oil change in there, keeping things flowing! Replies to this message: billyg1957 (Nov 05, 2007 2:06 pm) nippononly (Nov 05, 2007 6:40 pm)
#22 of 345 low tank by nippononly Nov 19, 2006 (8:55 pm)
299 miles, 7.7 gallons, which is just shy of 39 mpg. Lemme guess, the winter gas has come back?   Still 39 is acceptable as long as it doesn't repeat too often...
#23 of 345 makes up for last time by nippononly Nov 27, 2006 (2:10 pm)
last night's fill was 363 miles, 8.6 gallons, for an average over 42 mpg. Oh yesssss!   They say resale values of large SUVs are rebounding as gas prices stay moderately low. I say, why spend all that extra dough to gas up, even if it IS less expensive right now?
#24 of 345 hey everyone by nippononly Feb 07, 2007 (7:51 pm)
Just thought I would check in and say the superlative fuel economy has continued into the winter this year. Today's fill-up was 415 miles, 10.2 gallons, which by my calculator is 40.7 mpg. Not too bad.   Gas is going back up in my area even though it's still winter, up to $2.70/gallon now. Glad my little car will go so far on each ounce of gas...I was thinking about it today, and with this gas mileage, my Echo only needs 3 ounces of gas to go a mile, or to put it another way, just a Big Gulp of gas would propel my Echo more than 10 miles!
#25 of 345 two weeks later by nippononly Feb 21, 2007 (9:39 pm)
and gas is up another dime to $2.80/gal. We still aren't at March 1st! I guess we will be well over $3/gal before Labor Day this year. Hard to believe it was only two short years ago we still had prices like $1.50/gal.   Tonight was not so good, 395 miles on 10.25 gallons which only comes to 38.5 mpg. Averaged with the last tank I am slightly below the 40-mpg average I have come to count on.   It's time for fresh oil, air filter, and tire rotation next week. Perhaps that will boost my mpg numbers a bit.
#26 of 345 MPG numbers by mopar71 Apr 04, 2007 (6:05 am)
When I first bought my echo I was getting 41-42 mpg but as the engine got older the mpgs went down,now I get about 38.I will replace the trans fluid with a synthetic to see if my mpgs go up.What does everybody else get?I already use synthetic engine oil and low rolling resistant tires,drive only highway and steady 65 mph.
#27 of 345 my last fill-up by nippononly Apr 05, 2007 (6:00 pm)
was 8.25 gallons, 337 miles, which is around 41 mpg. Gas is up to $3.30/gallon for me now.   It helps that my daily driver is the Echo! It now has 81K on the clock. How many miles on yours, mopar71?
#28 of 345 mpg numbers by mopar71 Apr 07, 2007 (11:55 am)
On my 03 echo I have 97k and on my 00 I had 155k.My daughter just got into an accident with my 2000 . My daughter is ok I think I will keep it for parts,I will get an estimate to see how much it will cost to repair,My insurance will not pay because of the mileage and age,plus I didnt have collision.What year is your Echo?

Replying to: mopar71 (Apr 07, 2007 11:55 am) mine is an '02, bought in October of that year. It's going to be 5 years old this fall, and I figure it will have about 90K on it by then. I am hoping to hit 120K before having to repair anything.   Certainly it is a very good car to have around with the gas getting ready to hit $4/gallon.

I changed my oil last week and used Mobil 1 5W-20 for the first time. Over the last 342 miles the car used 6.75 gallons (US, not imperial). Works out to an MPG of 50.66.   I have only had better MPG last year in Arizona on a long stretch of highway at a steady 56 MPH and getting close to 52 MPG (51.92).   Total miles on my car are 165k. This little critter is getting better and better.
