Getting 25-28 with half city, half highway driving. 18" wheels are probably causing the biggest drop in MPG. | |

What MODs?
I get about an average of 25 to 27 MPG on AXIS 19 and Falken 225/35/19. I didn't keep track of it when I was with stock tires, wish I did though to see the difference. | |

City I get about 24-26. Thats on Sportmax 504's.
Highway I get 22-24 if I'm going over 80 mph if I stay around 70-75 I get like 30.
Most miles to a tank is 320 and that was highway and I was running Sportmax 006's 18x7.5's with a 225/40/18. Actual distance may be higher due to the over sized tires.
I also have a lead foot. | |

Wow, i only get about 24 on a good tank... the most i ever got was 30 (drafting a semi for most of it haha)
I'm thinking the absolutely filthy air filter that I just cleaned had something to do with that....  | |

Funny thread and one that is near and dear to my heart after seeing gas posted for $4.05 per gallon this morning.
I get between 26 - 32 mpg
When it starts the downward spiral towards 26 I usually find its time for an air filter. I have also found that low air PSi on my stock rims and tires generally drags the fuel mileage down. | |

I'm usually getting about 31 mpg around town. Everything is stock on my box. Highway is about the same milage as city; I assume that it is due to the 80-85 mph and aerodynamics. Has anyone ever tried acetone in the tank? | |

| Re: Whats your MPG?
completely stock 2006.5
stock wheels, no lowering springs, stock spark plugs, air filter from discount auto parts
i am getting 30.5 - 33 mpg consistently
mobile = i get about 31 - 32 mpg
bp = 30 - 31 mpg
shell = is about middle of both
sams club gas = 30
this is city driving. stop and go driving. not to much bumper to bumper traffic.
i drive efficiently i usually stay in between 2000 - 3000 rpm.
to warm up my car don't let it sit, just drive away slowly until blue light disappears.
glad i can help have a great day Quote:

She consistently gets 29-30 MPG.. and they are 245/45 tires.
I'm actually trying to sell them in hopes of picking up a few MPG. I'm got some 01 civic wheels on the way.
Both she and I know how to calculate MPG.. She drives about 120 miles a day, 70-75 mph on the interstate.
On a side note, just to gloat, I've hit 33 mpg in my Integra GSr, with 500 lbs of passengers, no AC on, 70-80 mph (with is 35-4000 rpm). I've hit 42 driving crazy slow and 36.6 2 times in a row, trying to get good milealge. It's not stock either I'm around 35 mpg this tank too
