#8 of 345 did a good by nippononly Aug 05, 2006 (10:23 pm)
long tank, finally filled up yesterday, and the little guy is performing like a champ: 439 miles and 10.5 gallons, which is close to 42 mpg (41.8 to be exact).   It just keeps on truckin' - I am headed up to Yosemite in it on Monday for a short trip - I wonder what the mountains will do to the mileage.
#9 of 345 not so good by nippononly Aug 15, 2006 (7:18 am)
results this time: 329 miles, 8.5 gallons. The exact figuring is 38.7, call it 39 mpg in my usual manner, still not the 40 or more I have come to expect.
#10 of 345 I am the only poster! :-( by nippononly Aug 24, 2006 (8:12 pm)
tonight's results: 391 miles, 9.5 gallons, so 41.1 mpg, I'll call that one 41. Love this car, even if gas has cheapened slightly - I paid $2.97/gallon tonight! That's the first time in AGES I have paid less than $3.   Also discovered a tire with a slow leak - dontcha just hate that? :-/ Replies to this message: pat (Aug 25, 2006 3:42 am)

Replying to: nippononly (Aug 24, 2006 8:12 pm) That's better than a fast leak!
#12 of 345 A/C vs cold weather by bottgers Aug 28, 2006 (10:33 am)
Many people believe running the A/C has more of an adverse affect on fuel economy than does cold weather. It's actually the other way around. Most people will only see a 3-5% drop in fuel economy when running the air, while cold weather will cause a 15-20% drop. Replies to this message: thegreyone (Oct 03, 2009 10:22 am)
#13 of 345 I detect by nippononly Aug 28, 2006 (4:26 pm)
almost no variation between winter and summer mpg in the Echo. It is a rare tank that falls below 39 mpg or rises above 41 mpg at either temperature extreme, a fact of which I am glad!   I think the slightly poorer mpg of the winter gas and colder morning start-ups is offset by the almost constant use I make of the A/C in the summer.   But then of course, I live in coastal California, so.......seasons? What seasons?
#14 of 345 fill-up time! :-) by nippononly Sep 06, 2006 (10:56 am)
The smiley is because even with someone ELSE driving about 100 miles of this tank (I lent the car to a friend), it still managed 39 mpg this morning at the pump.   360 miles, 9.25 gallons, 38.92 mpg. And gas is down to $2.90/gallon as well! The little car definitely went easy on my wallet this morning.
#15 of 345 a short tank by nippononly Sep 11, 2006 (8:22 pm)
this time, because I have a couple of longish trips to make tomorrow. So anyway, only 299 miles, putting in 7.0 gallons, which comes out to 42.7, call it 42 1/2. I think the pump may have shut off a little early though, so I will definitely average it with the next fill-up to get a more realistic mileage figure for both tanks.   And hey, $2.82/gallon means the whole fill-up cost me $20.02!! I can't remember the last time I filled up for $20, although once upon a time long ago that was what I anticipated at every gas stop.
#16 of 345 well you know what? by nippononly Sep 22, 2006 (10:21 pm)
I filled up tonight, 379 miles and 9.4 gallons, which I figured out is 40.3 mpg, call it 40 mpg. So, even averaged with what I thought was an unfull tank from last time, I got 41.5 mpg over the last 680 miles. Not too shabby...     Oh yeah, and gas is down to $2.69/gallon. The whole fill-up was $25 - any day now I will be able to fill up on a $20 bill again. Fantastic!
#17 of 345 394 miles by nippononly Oct 06, 2006 (9:39 pm)
9.6 gallons. That's 41 mpg right on the nose. Go, go, Echo!
