Just did the math -- First 9,000 miles -- mixed driving 75% Highway, 25% Local. 45.63471. Not using any hypermiling techniques -- Just driving the car. Of more interest to us geeks -- My 10 Tank Averages range from about 42mpg in the winter to about 46-47 mpg around now -- have only had the car since Sep, so I haven't had a summer yet. High Tank -- 59.1 mpg Low Tank -- 38.2 mpg Not surprisingly, these were actually two consecutive fill-ups, meaning, I was probably a gallon short of full on the high tank, and had a service station top it off on the low tank. Single tank numbers are very jagged -- again, depends on how full the tank is. The 10 Tank averages produce a nice curve. Data provided for anyone who cares. [attachmentid=8655]
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(KProspero @ Jun 7 2007, 07:39 PM) [snapback]457761[/snapback]</div> what was your avg speed?
My Speed -- Highway -- flow of traffic in the slow/middle lane. Call it 60ish, except when there are traffic jams (which are not uncommon)
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(KProspero @ Jun 8 2007, 05:05 PM) [snapback]458279[/snapback]</div> While not having as many miles on my car, in about four 35 mile trips to DC and back at 65 mph I have 52-53 mpg (all this may with 44/44 psi) using cruise control. So I'm a bit surprised at your numbers
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ystasino @ Jun 8 2007, 05:30 PM) [snapback]458295[/snapback]</div> Sounds about right, your tires are inflated more than mine. When I've done an entire tank highway, I'm usually 50-52. Which probably means I'm right around 40mph for local/driving around town/short trips, etc. Also, we had a good chunk of driving in the winter, which steals a few mpg on average. As they say YMMV
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(KProspero @ Jun 8 2007, 05:39 PM) [snapback]458303[/snapback]</div> ok yes that does sound about right, I just got mine on April 29th. So I haven't driven in winter.
