Mpg?

[Thirteen]

im a bit over 3000 miles and my average has been 16.1 but u drive like a child, lol

 

[robz32]

I am averaging 25.1 MPG on my 3.3. Do you guys have it set up so that it resets every time you fill up?
I don't

76 miles left with more than a quarter tank remaining. Wow, this car needs better fuel economy and a much larger gas tank.

That’s about a 122KM(Canada) which isn’t that bad, now someone might want to adjust their driving habits.

Wow that’s incredible and I assume that’s almost all highway driving? I have to use ECO only and cruise at 75mph for hours just to get close to 25mpg avg.

I do have the MPG reset on each tank so I can track the differences based on driving conditions etc., but I leave one trip meter I don’t reset that has my total lifetime mileage and mpg. I just got that avg. up to 16.9mpg since I finally got to take a long highway trip.

I agree that the car needs a larger gas tank. I feel like I'm filling up a lot more often than even my Mustang getting 19mpg.

It is a mix of highway and city. If I were to put an average on it, I would say it is 45% city 55% highway

I have been averaging 25-25.8mpg. 140 miles a day and about 130 of it is on the interstate 60 to 75mph the whole way. I removed the stock filter box and added K&N cone filters. Have since been averaging 27-28mpg on the same commute.
I also drive in custom, sport mode for engine, trans, steering, and comfort for the awd.

 

[Socalstinga]

mix of highway/city (a lot of which is in Socal traffic and I throw it in Eco) 22-23mpg. When just highway, I don't care to look - I drive the sh*t out of it...temptation gets the best of me every time. lol

The gas mileage is actually pretty good and mine exceeds the advertised results. But the size of this tank is stupid small for a GT. My G37 sedan gets 20mpg mixed but has a 20 gallon tank

 

[bugaboo90]

I tend to drive nicely when I first fill up and try to get it to 25 mpg to halfway empty tank, then I say to myself, I drove nice for first half, so I deserve a little fun lol and usually end up at around 20 - 21 mpg when I fill-up

 

[Kosh]

best ive gotten 27 ... around town tho ... 13-14

Late reply here, but perhaps worth reporting. I just completed a trip from SW Missouri to Michigan and back. 6K total miles on my GT2 upon return. Running 91 octane fuel, mostly 77mph on 70mph interstate highways, two and three passengers with luggage, air conditioner on. Mileage on the digital readout (not confirmed by actual math by gallons and miles the old fashioned way) ranged from a low of 27.6 to 29.3. Comfort mode, only occasional downshifts for acceleration, traffic was moderate on I-44 and I-70. Very pleased, since I did not buy the car for fuel economy.

What digital readout are you referring to? Maybe our metric cars are different, but I only have a moving slider (instantaneous mileage) that is pretty much useless for anything other than confirming that if you even touch the accelerator as lightly as possible, you are getting horrid economy and what a steady-state level might be (i.e., on cruise on a big highway where there are lots of long stretches where it will stabilize). Neither tells you what your real mileage is because they are both extreme ends of the spectrum.

Is the 27.6 to 29.3 you report that "stable" zone on the highway that is actually the temporary maximum economy, or is it some sort of average over the 6K or some portion of your trip?

At least here in the US our stingers have a meter in the dash you can switch to, to see your MPG for each fillup. Also at the end of every trip you get a MPG readout for that trip.

 

[StingEm]

My 2.0 RWD did 34.2 mpg average on my 19 mile commute this morning (about 16 of that is highway with radar cruise set to 60-65). Comfort mode. 70 degree outside temp.

I'll have to look again. I wasn't aware there was a per trip and per tank readout--that would be very nice. It looked to me to be the usual average mileage readout that you manually reset whenever you feel like it or need. It is able to sense when you add fuel? What if you don't fill up completely? Technology!!

You can change in the option when it resets on your dash. As far as partial fillups I'm not sure.

Thanks! I guess if I read the manual, it would help. 2 gallons or 6 litres is all it takes to reset if you pick that option. Per trip makes sense and you can always manually reset with the OK switch.

 

[mldavis2]

Yes, it changes fairly quickly after a fill up, but after driving, it stabilizes. I think it is probably a calculation based on injector pulse timing and engine RPM and torque loading. Seems pretty accurate.

 

[Volvowith18psi]

On a 250 mile journey from VA to PA- I averaged 27.1MPG on ECO with 87. Haven't driven it anymore.

 

[oxide365]

recent 44 mile trip got about 22mpg. was bit on accelerator much. i can get 26-28 if i hold speed steady under 70.
