I'm averaging 25 with 99% city... and i drive fast as hell.... I'm not really sure how anyone could get 19... unless they were purposely trying to waste gas... but on the highway i can get upper 30's in cruise control

[Daarken]

is your cruise control on 55?

[kev_xb]

nah, i get upper 30's at 60-70 mph...

I have about 500 miles on mine.

When I picked up my car the dealer said they gave me a full tank of gas.

At 254 miles I filled up. The pump stopped at 10.3 gallons or 24.7 mpg. I kept playing for about 5 minutes and was able to squeze 12.5 gallons in (I always top off when I'm doing a baseline).

With 75% city/25% hwy but driving like an old man (hey i'm 50 LOL) and in in neautral coasting down hill I'm projecting about 25 topping off this tank full.

I should be filling up in 2 days & i'll post my exact #.

I'm very happy with the mix of performance, size and enjoyment of driving. I enjoyed the 1gen when I test drove them, but found them very buzzy, choppy but fun. After just a few minutes in the 2nd, I feel in love with it.

Getting 23.5 MPG......car is two weeks old and 900miles on the ODO.


can wait to switch to synthetic, to see if that helps. I also added an extra 2 lbs to the rear tires and 4 to the fronts. stock 16 inchers. I do about 70/30 highway/city

[SiZzOuRcE]

I am only getting 20-21mpg here in south Florida.

For some reason I have never gotten as good of mpg as other people in other parts of the country.

Im pretty easy on the pedal too.

[WhiteNoise]

As an update I am at 26 combined, half freeway half city.

I've been monitoring my MPG over the last couple days to and from work (95 miles RT). using the onboard computer and cruise control.

I notice at 75MPH, with the cruise on, i average 25MPG. It appears my trip takes me over a slightly hilly route, that I never noticed before. but watching the MPG computer, i can see it fluctuate greatly, as the cruise control tries to maintain the set speed.

[rosconey]

have about 500 miles on mine-filled up the other day and got 25-thats 90% lead foot-will have a new k&n filter to install tomorrow

[Daarken]

i will be hitting 5k this week, and im getting 25, with more highway then city

[Grasschopper]

Well I am getting near 4k miles now and I am also driving a lot more highway miles due to a new job. Last two tanks were 27 and 28 mpg. This is with my snow tires on...can't wait to get the 18s back on by I have to since I am driving up into the mountains for work and the weather up here is quite variable.

[jahfakin]

it seems to be improving. on the highway, to and from work, I can easily get 28-29mpg. but once I hit the heavy Philly traffic, I'm down to 22mpg or less. it avg out to be 23-25mpg. but I'm improving my technique, riding the torque line more, and taking the foot off the gas, as soon as I realize that I'm approaching a red right, and coast to a stop.

[levirisner]

I get about 24.5 mpg on my 97 mile trip home at about 70mph.on the 97 mile to work trip at 4am at 80mph+ it shows 28.8 but i put $30 in every morning at$3.25-3.45perg. i have noticed shell gas is the better gas i buy .BP is the worst$42.00dollers every morning same price per gallon.thinking of putting in a joe ball.and cell guardian any one try on yet ? they say it can add 3 to 7 mile per a gallon . cellguarian.com

Is it possible the BP uses E10 (10% Ethanol) and Shell is just using 100% gas? E10 can hurt you millage, due to the lower BTU.

I also noticed that my mileage doesn't very that much on the highway, depending on the speed. I get about the same MPG if I'm doing 70MPH or 80MPH. I assume it's the VVT that allows the engine to have maximum efficiency, regardless of RPM, which is awesome. The other day, I was hauling ass on a flat stretch on I-95, and was doing 95mph, the computer said I was getting 26mpg. Not bad! when I slowed to 75, it jumped to 29mph.

My main problem is the awful local Philly traffic, when I exit off the highway...it can be gridlock at times, and it just zaps your mileage .

[headtechie2006]

OK......soooo.....I did not get my 2nd gen xB for its fuel efficiency. but, in my "commute" to school (10 minute drive. not city not highway.) ill get about 20-22 mpg. i just drove to the shore (200 miles. mainly highway, at 70ish mph) i got about 30mpg.

Ive found that my "sweet spot" is driving at 40-50 mph but i could be wrong.

ill post more updates.

[pirate420]

I am getting slightly better than that at 25.5 these days with my 18s. The computer is saying 26 something.

[art_suckz]

I'm averaging 24 MPG week to week. That is comprised of about 3/4 city, 1/4 Hwy.
