#206 of 345 Re: fillup [kneisl1] by nippononly Jun 09, 2008 (1:35 pm)
Replying to: kneisl1 (Jun 09, 2008 1:21 am) You mean way ABOVE half full, right?!
#207 of 345 above by kneisl1 Jun 09, 2008 (2:01 pm)
Yes its about half way between 3/4 and 1/2 full. Had to use the AC on the way to work today though as it was 98 degrees and 85%humidity. But I wont use it on the way home!
#208 of 345 I'm in by nippononly Jun 09, 2008 (4:58 pm)
full-on A/C mode now, using it most days. This morning it was so warm out that I even had it on for the drive IN to work at 8:30 AM!   Despite that, the last tank still returned 42 mpg just as usual. A/C doesn't hit the fuel economy anywhere near as much as cold outdoor temps do in winter.
#209 of 345 50mpg by mopar71 Jun 10, 2008 (6:59 am)
Its probably because I have an automatic instead of a stick.
#210 of 345 Make up reporting by dephinusorca Jun 10, 2008 (10:04 am)
Math on my last four tanks comes out to 45.5/43.8/46.1/&43.25mpg.   The good news is that my marathon commute is officially over and I am moving closer to my job, and will use a fraction of the gas I have been using. Goal is to leave the car parked on the weekdays and just use it for travel/recreation. The bad news is I expect my mpg reporting will decrease significantly with a more irregular driving pattern.
#211 of 345 Ridiculous by andyr2 Jun 11, 2008 (10:31 am)
A little off topic, sorry. But after today these speculators and investment banks can rot in hell.
#212 of 345 new mpg by kneisl1 Jun 14, 2008 (7:26 am)
Ran 230 miles on 5.2 gallons. Thats 44 mpg. About 100 miles of thatwas 2 trips 20 miles long each at 45 mph. The test was all 6 mile trips at 45 mph. I can see the potential for very high mpg with the car when doing a lot of miles all at once instead of short trips.
#213 of 345 got a bad one today by nippononly Jun 16, 2008 (11:18 am)
345 miles, 8-3/4 gallons. Of course, I had to fill up before I normally do, so pump variations may account for this low one, but that is only 39 mpg (or 39.5, rounding to the nearest 0.5).   One thing that could account for it is that on this tank, I spent quite a bit of time transporting two other adults in addition to myself, and running the A/C a fair amount of the time.   Anyway, I hope it is a one-time aberration!

Replying to: nippononly (Jun 16, 2008 11:18 am) I just did a 329.6 mile and used 8.175 gals.65-70mph.Don't have cruise and have an automatic.What I love about these cars is that they are so sensitive,my mileage dropped to 35 and I found one of my tires with only 20 pounds of air.So checking your mileage can be used as a diagnostic tool also,thats why at every fill I check it.
#215 of 345 what I love by nippononly Jun 17, 2008 (6:12 pm)
about these cars is mileage is so darn consistent: I calculate it at every fill-up, trying to do 400 miles on each tank to get the most accurate reading possible. I mostly just post the remarkable ones here, which is anything under 40 or over 42, and you can see how rarely I post in relation to miles I have driven!   Good weather or bad, A/C or no, I can count on 40-42 from my little MPG champ! (I couldn't resist: I got a personalized license plate for mine that says MPG CHAMP)
