18MPG on 1989 Acura Legend with 120,000(this car has a lot of pep but is loaded with problems) 22MPG on 1986 Toyota Camry with 95,000 (absolutely no pep to this car, but very dependible) 11MPG on 1976 Dodge Tradesman 200 van with, believe it or not 285,000 miles with slant six(my father bought this new in 1975 for $3100, this van never breaks down, I love driving it)

[Ladogaboy]

Right now, 26... later, hopefully around 40.

[DoPeY5007]

17 I think

[coleslaw]

I get about 32 MPG with my Escort. After I change my air filter, it should go up some...

[Full Monty]

Nice, coleslaw. I drive an Escort as well and get somewhere around 30-33 mpg. Not much pep but good for the wallet.

[Fatass]

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day that Monty admitted that the Blue Meanie had no pep to it :eek:

Guess I'm in the same boat with my accord...only get about 30 MPG though.

[Blu]

22-28 in my GTI. I'm hoping that'll jump when I get my Mass Airflow Sensor fixed...

[Nanotech9]

between 50 and 60mpg...

really.

honest.

:D

[Jihforce]

Mine's around 24mpg

[brain]

My C320 gets around 24mpg. If I drive purely highway, I can get that up to 31mpg or so. My 1999 Honda Accord V6 coupe averages around 20mpg.

[epoxi]

96 integra
30mpg, strictly freeway driving
20-24, everday driving

[shoeish]

20-22mpg highway, and I swear like 6-7mpg in town, even driving nice. Should come up a bunch when I get some 30# injectors instead of 36# and my MAF calibrated for them, though.

-94 Modified Mustang Cobra, btw. Plenty of pep. ;)

[hapoo]

30+ mpg on my '91 318is (actually i calculated it to be exactly 40 but it seems waaay too high)


BTW, nano.... WHERES MY SIG?!?! :)

[aglio412]

i get 0 miles per gallon...car's been in the shop for 29 days now....damn drunk driver...sheesh

the jetta normally gets about 24-26 city, about 30 highway...used to be higher, but the exhaust, open element air filter and chip have brought it down a bit...

[adowding]

My 99 Gmc Sierra gets about 18

[Nanotech9]

how the HELL are you getting 30 on your 318????? i cant get over 28 on the highway, with a LIGHT foot.

i re-arranged my apt., and i havent plugged in my server yet... sorry man.

i'll get it up tonight if i can find room for the monitor...

[Nanotech9]

ok, your up now.

:hmm::hmm:






I think :)

[hapoo]

20 miles to school
14 gallons in tank

I go to class 4 days a week, after two weeks thats 320 miles, this leaves me enough to drive 100+ miles before refuelling. 420/14 = 30
And by no means do i drive conservatively.

[Nanotech9]

maybe i need new pulgs, and my injectors cleaned, and new airfilter

30 MPG in a 318 isnt really that low. i get about 20-30 in city, depending on how i drive and 25-35 on the highway in mine. its all stock right now. try putting in a k&n air filter, that may help increase the milage a little and make sure your tires are properly inflated, that helps some too.

[whitak24]

i just ran my first tank of gas through my new car (92 buick regal, v6 3.8 3800 engine):
21 mpg, mix of city and highway :(

[BrewMaster]

i get 20-30 MPG in my '89 Volvo stationwagon. and this beauty of a tank just hit 175,000 miles!

i could probably get better mileage if i cleaned up the engine, put in new plugs and stuff...but i'm too lazy right now...

what year 318 do you run though?.... ours are '91 models... not as good on teh MPG as the newer ones.

[babymike]

i get about 20, no matter what i'm driving on. i'm driving a 2002 WRX.

im running a 96. that is good for a 91

[adowding]

Hey babymike how do you like your wrx. I have to trade my truck in as I have another midget on the way and I have been eyeing down a wrx.

[babymike]

I love it. The reviews are tru in that it is really tame under 3k revs, but after that it takes off like a jet. The one complanint i have is that the interior is rattling due to poor quality, but my other friends who own them don't seem to have that problem. For the features and performance, I can't think of anything better. The Evo, Sti, and the new Z are all coming out soon, but the Z isn't as quick and I don't think the other two are worth the extra money.

[Paymaster]

I drive a 1966 Dodge Charger, with a 383 CI V8 and a four barrel carb.

I don't measure miles per gallon, I measure gallons per mile. :bigeyes:

It's fun though... :)

[OC]

I just filled up - 47 on this tank. :eek:

what kind of car are you driving? diesel or electric hybrid?

I talk about it often enough, but here's a recap: I put a ram-air setup on it and it works well on the highway - it gives me a little extra power. For an experiment I removed the intake tube so the engine would breathe the warm underhood air. As a result I got a 10% improvement in fuel economy.

i would think ours would be better considering its about 1000 pounds lighter
