How is everybody's fuel mileage?

[MerlintheMad]

15 mpg.

That's dire. What does that mean? Are you a "spirited" driver in rush hour traffic five days a week?

 

[Jimmer]

That's interesting, because the near consensus here going back months is that the Stinger's depicted mpg is a couple of miles optimistic.

it was exact this afternoon. I filled my tank last Monday, set the mile counter to zero, then divided that accumulated number by how much I put in the tank today. Matched the mpg the car had told me I was getting...like exactly.

151 miles, 9.49 gallons put in. 15.91 mpg. Car said 16.

18’ GT1 in RWD for me. Custom axle back, modified air box and JB4 results in my mileage figures.

I have been spirited driver during acceleration only. It's fun. But mostly because I have stop and go traffic all the time.

I have 27,000 miles on my gt awd since March. Most of my drive is interstate. My best mpg was 32 but that was babying it and running 68mph. At 75mph i average 27-29mpg and 80mph i get around 25mpg. Calculated based on trip miles and tank fill up.

 

[Phil L]

I’ve filled my tank 8 times. My best tank was 21mpg my worst was 14.5mpg

Depends. I've had my GT2 AWD Since May. 20K miles. I run 93 octane. Long freeway jaunts - quite a few now - I'll pet 'er in Eco and get 28ish - and that's running 75-80mph. Daily driving - a mix of country, suburban, and city roads: if it's all in Comfort, probably 23ish; but I usually can't help myself and run it 50/50 Comfort/"spirited" Sport - maybe 18ish. For me, I didn't buy this car for the fuel economy but I'm pleasantly surprised and happy with the mileage I get. I just wish the tank was a few gallons bigger.

Lead, is in thy right foot!

Wow I thought I had a decent amount of mile (9k since mid June). I get no where near 28 on the hwy going the same speeds. Wish I did, maybe letting it breathe better(ssr downpipes ordered, waiting on intakes to be for sale) will increase mileage.

Yes - that's a lot of miles, even for me. I do 55 mile r/t daily commutes. There were a number of summer weekend get-away trips with The Wife, and a couple of vacation drives. Plus a couple of long unplanned trips - unfortunately for family funerals. The mileage rate will come down now over the winter months. But driving that much I've gotten to really appreciate the "GT-ness" of the car. Comfortable and enjoyable on the way; fun when you get there.

GT2 AWD getting about 24 combo city/highway. I don’t get into it to much since trying to see how the fuel economy does. Either way, hell of a lot better than my ram I traded

24 combo! That is impressive. Even when I watch the fuel consumption meter I can't seem to rise above 22 mpg tops anymore; usually only 20.something, and always threatening to drop back into the "teens". *sigh* It doesn't help a danged thing that I let the car idle first startup of the day until the oil temperature hits 100.

I commute 40 miles (each way) for work and it is 99% freeway. I have a 3.3 GT2, and an average of 28.5-29 mpg each tank of gas (comfort mode). It obviously epend on the traffic and speed, but the best I got for one journey was 34 mpg in comfort mode. As soon as I hit the slow city driving, it will go down

 

[Karl Davlin]

This is my actual mileage, not the computer calculated mileage. Also, when my MPG hit ~19MPG, 87 octane fuel was put in by the dealer. Average MPG: 24.58

Interesting, I didn't realize higher octane produced better MPG.

 

[Goodmang37]

I usually average 20mph overall......can get 29 plus on the highway in comfort mode doing 80....if I want better MPG just lift the right foot....but I can afford to be heavy footed and enjoy the ride. Acceleration with the Borla Cat-back exhaust sounds heavenly.

 

[falanger]

Personal best while on a roadtrip over the holidays...

 

[MerlintheMad]

@falanger One mile of range left! You like to push it huh? Maybe that's your secret.

 

[twig2121]

In summer we avg'd 26-28 (wife and I). In winter this has dropped 2-3mpg. I suspect it may be driven by the JB4 in part and another part winter gas.

My best was 32 on a highway commute to work ~65mi each way

'18 GT AWD

Made a 1,000 km trip to Edmonton and back last Friday and got my best mileage so far at 9.5 L/100km. Works out to about 25MPG in US gallons. I was happy with that mileage as most of the time was spent cruising at a pretty good pace.



In mixed driving, I usually get about 12 L/100km (19 MPG), but that get dragged down by lots of remote-started warm up sessions this time of year.
