Whats Your gas mileage? post it in here!

[Dr_Snooz]

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.

[A18A]

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

[4literranger485]

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? =/

[88lxi-shortram]

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!

[88lxi-shortram]

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

[88lxi-shortram]

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

[cubert]

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.

[Tdurr]

bout tree fiddy.


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

[A18A]

probably faster than 99% of cars on here

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

[car6289]

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

[gojrracing]

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

[Shawn87AccordDx]

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.

[AccordB20A]

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

[Civic Accord Honda]

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

[2oodoor]

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

[Shawn87AccordDx]

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?

[Skellington]

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.

[Skellington]

*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?
