Replying to: jamrock02 (Aug 18, 2006 5:47 pm) Heres some tips to get better mp:, Don't let the Axiom rev over 3k rpm. Thats hard to do. I saw my neighbor drive by my house (i live on a straightaway) and she floored it!! I know her mpg sucks! Also try to use cruise control on longer trips. It keeps the engine at a consistent pace and stretches the mpg. Drive it like a hybrid! That should help.   Cj

Replying to: tidester (Jul 26, 2006 11:35 pm) I own a 2004 Axiom XS and I love the vehicle. Great ride and very comfortable. Current mileage is 24000+. My MPG breaks down like this:  City driving 18 - 20 MPG  Hghwy driving (55 - 61 MPH) 25 - 27 MPG  Hghwy driving (62+ MPH) 21 - 23 MPG   You can watch the MPG drop as you increase the speed beyond 61. I drove from Norfolk, VA to Atlantic City, NJ and got exactly 26 MPG. Norfolk, VA to Myrtle Beach, SC 25.7 MPG. Norfolk to Roanoke 26.6 MPG.

#10 of 15 Gonna test real-world mileage tonight by axiom35 Dec 10, 2006 (4:30 pm)
I'm about to drive about 250 miles from Central Maine to near Boston. We'll see how I do - I have a 2004 Axiom S with 41,500 miles and brand new snow tires. Let's hope for good numbers Replies to this message: axiom35 (Dec 11, 2006 1:19 pm)

Replying to: axiom35 (Dec 10, 2006 4:30 pm) Not bad - about 22-23 mpg overall.
#12 of 15 my mpg by bren Apr 16, 2007 (2:17 pm)
I just bought a 2004 Axiom S 4WD with only 6,000 miles. (Yes, that's right.) So perhaps it's not yet 'broken in' and mpg may improve a bit.   On my 2nd fill-up, the average mpg reading provided by the vehicle's display claimed 17.9 mpg, but when I calculated the miles I drove divided by the gallons used, my personal calculation was 16.1 mpg. That's a pretty significant discrepancy -- basically 10%!   By the way, I am a delivery driver. The 17.9 mpg figure would be rather good if it were true. 16.1 mpg is certainly what I expected when I bought this vehicle.

Replying to: bren (Apr 16, 2007 2:17 pm) I asked my dealer about this same thing and was told the on-board system only gives an estimate of MPG and miles to empty.

Replying to: bren (Apr 16, 2007 2:17 pm) Did you reset the average mpg after you filled it up? If not, reset it after the next fill up and check it again. You will find it is much more accurate this way. Replies to this message: bren (Apr 19, 2007 2:56 pm)
#15 of 15 Re: my mpg [cptsesso] by bren Apr 19, 2007 (2:56 pm)
Replying to: cptsesso (Apr 19, 2007 8:51 am) Yes, I have reset it each time. Today I filled up and calculated 17 mpg while the display claimed 18.7 mpg. So the display was 10% off again.   Oh well.   I'm curious if using synthetic oil and a K&N air filter would improve mpg a bit. I often read people claiming that doing this can add 1 or 2 mpg, but I did both things for my previous car just a month before selling it, and they basically had no impact.
