Whats your MPG?

IllNinja · 04-03-2008, 10:31 PM

Whats your mpg? I get about 35 with my 06 xb. I was looking at the scion site and the new scions only get about 22 mpg. Why is that?

i get 27-31mpg. the reason the new Scion xB ('08) gets that less mpg is because it has a bigger engine (2.4L) than ours (1.5L).

35 in the winter 37 in the summer with a best of 38. Majority of the mods I do is for better mpg. =) Others get 40+ regularly but they probably don't have the mandated ethenal additive like we do. =(

27.5 average for me. I have an intake and larger wheels. I think the width of the wheels and spoiler might have lost me some. I've gotten 31 driving really slow and down to 25 driving really fast. On long trips I usually can get around 28 or 29.

I get about 33mpg with my '06. It's all highway miles. Has anyone found any add on's (besides cool air intake) to help mpg?

Almost 30 all around driving on 18's. Was getting about 32 before the wheel switch. No mods to motor. '06.5 model.

As for MPG figures on newer Xb's and other cars, Gov't has cracked down on car manufacturers on their MPG estimates to make them more realistic, I believe.

wasnt a lie so much as the way it was calculated before,

I get around 29-35. I have a Fujita short ram intake running on stock wheels and tires.

Eav10xB · 04-09-2008, 03:55 PM

I have gotten 310 miles all high way once. So i am guessing 31mpg, but that was with stock tires. Now i have 17s and i get about 270 miles to a tank.

it seems to be all around the same...i think the lower ones probably have a heavier foot.

xb_release_2 · 04-11-2008, 02:57 AM

yeah i think i get like 20 mpg doing about 3 digit speeds

nailwood · 04-11-2008, 03:36 AM

Highest MPG ever for me was 36.6, all highway, 65 mph average, stock wheels, no engine mods, 2 passengers, A/C On, 2 suitcases, camera case, gold clubs, Wii, and of course my sub box in the back.

Normal average highway/city mix is about 28-31.

Will a short ram/exhaust set up add to the mpg? I'm putting some hefty wheels on in a couple of weeks and it'd be nice to keep my avg. mpg

After owning alot of cars and changed wheels...I've noticed heavy wheels make a big difference in MPG...for the worse. Average 20-30miles less per tank.
