Whats Your gas mileage? post it in here!

The Accord is getting 32 mpg pretty consistently. The Bimmer gets 20.1. No more, no less. I don't know what the truck is getting cause I have it torn apart all across the shed.

CAH, don't feel too bad. I never got more than about 20 mpg out of my 4g. They designed that car more for performance than economy. The Camry at that time was sporting a V6 along with every other mid-sized car, so Honda had to really up the performance at the cost of mileage. Even so, 13 is pretty crummy. Let us know what you learn.

my gas mileage was done in US mpg, i prefer km/l anyway, which is around 13.5km/l

accord - 33
mountaineer - 19 (not to bad for a 4.6L v8)
f-150 - 14
DRZ400 - 50-55 lol

Am i doing something wrong? why does my milage suuuuck? =/

accord=0
legend= maybe 25 just DD but having fun like 20
explorer=11 on a good day... and take a guess which one my broke, penny pinching ass is stuck with?

im guessing the explorer haha

My Aerodeck does about 9 km/L (= about 21 mpg). But my right foot is pretty heavy!

yup even when i just drive it normally it gets shitty milage so i typically kepp my foot to the floor lol. i figure if im getting the same bad milage i might as well have fun right?

That's also my line of thought :lol:

yup but hell for an suv its quick. if i remember crrectly it runs high 14s on 8 lbs

Didnt even think to post my bike..

78 Suzuki GS750, with individual K&N Pod filters, Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust, and jetted a little too rich gets around 30mpg..but just like the car im riding like an asshole most of the time.

bout tree fiddy.


i get like 28-34 hwy and city. depends if im in boost or not :D

probably faster than 99% of cars on here :lol:

i put about 1 or 2 litres in my scooter the other day, old petrol from the lawnmower, it lasted us all day :D

As A18A stated previously, my preference is also for km/l. I get between 13.4 and 14.0 km/l. The weight of my foot determines my fuel economy.

lol for now... the transmission is acting up now so i may have to replace soon :(

Hi 88lxi-shortram. That's a brilliant idea. :D

My 87 Accord Dx just got 27mpg (60% city; 40% city) before I changed the oil & air filter. I've also got a bad wheel bearing that I'm sure will help out when fixed. Last night I put in some STP gas treatment in (Autozone had a 3 for $5 deal going). I'm hoping to get somewhere around 30mpg after the wheel bearing & my pcv valve get replaced.

13km/L open road on a good day.

this is in my accord with B20A 5MT light cam regrind adjustable cam gears, Aftermarket B20B intake manifold, High comp pistons and no tune

ive hit 54mpg in the 95 civic ex. average is in-between 37-47 depending on how i drive it

I had to scroll up here, so somebody had a turbo explorer?

B20 LX never gets much over 25 sometimes 28 , should get better after it's aligned. Manifold floor too close to carb base & It needs a carb spacer, it will after the hole is cut in the hood.lol
A20a3 Hatch gets 25-31

I'm getting 25mpg, mostly back roads, 10 miles to work and back. I also have a bad wheel bearing (fixing this weekend) and I'm going to replace my PCV valve too.

What should I expect on a 1987 Accord DX manual?

Ways to get better MPG?

I drive ~120 miles round trip to work in my accord. I drive in 1/2 mountains and 1/2 city. 80% freeway. average a little over 3k rpm (little high for me) and a little over 70 MPH.

It has 2.0LXI, 5 speed, 175/70r13 tires, 2" resonator, 2" CA legal cat, and a 2.25" straight pipe to the rear bumper.

So far I calculated 34 MPG. I have noticed that my odo spins at a diff rate than my trip meter, so Im going to map my route per fill up and get more accurate results.

*more accurate MPG*
I ran a full tank of gas and this is how it came down:


63.5 - miles per way to/from work
x6 - trips
=
381 - miles
+2.8 - miles from gas station to my house
+14 -miles to final fill up station
=
397.8 total miles
/10.81 - gallons of gas
=
36.79 MPG BABY!

I used google maps to calculate the distances because odometers in cars are always off. I knew there's a reason I want to commute in this car rather than my 2007 corolla s.
Will new, taller tires will improve MPG?
