What was the combined mileage of your last tank of gas?

[MercenaryForHire]

We've got the Bench-Racer 1/4 Mile Thread and the EPA Economy Thread ... but what are you really getting?

Car: 2005 Honda Civic 5MT
EPA: 32/38 mpg
Real: 39mpg combined on my last tank.

Measured by (Distance/Fuel)

- M4H

Last tank I filled up when I had about 250miles, and I added about 9 gallons, which is about 28mpg, which is pretty close to the theoretical mileage.

edit: for a ford focus

300 miles / 13 gallons = 23 mpg

 

[j00fek]

no idea

02 civic

 

[amish]

06 civic, AT

~32 mpg.

 

[Tarrant64]

'01 Accord V6

330/16 or just over. City.

About 380 on highway though.

 

[iamwiz82]

The OBC says 11.4MPG right now, I believe.

 

[ScottFern]

330 miles - 22mpg - 07 Camry I4

 

[Ipno]

I consistently see 30MPG in my VW.

 

[Linflas]

I don't think I have checked my gas mileage since the late 70's so no clue.

 

[newb111]

06 Acura RSX. 28.7 mpg, pretty much exclusively street driving.

 

[nweaver]

2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4 with 6spd Manual.

EPA 16/20

Combined on last tank of gas: 19

I've measured anywhere from 15 to 22. Depends on what driving i was doing and time of year. The car doesn't get great gas mileage...but I've found the EPA rating to be spot on. Highway driving is very affected by how fast you drive. The only way to get it in the 20+ range is to keep your speed around 65 at the fastest.

This Tacoma is one of the rare cars where the manual with more gears gets worse gas mileage than the auto.

Edit: My wifes car ('04 Civic LX Coupe) regularly gets ~40 mpg on a trip and ~36 mixed (work and around town) driving

'98 Contour SVT

EPA Mileage Estimates: 20 mpg city / 29 mpg highway
Observed: About 18.5 mpg combined*

05 Mazda 3... I think it was rated 24/31? Since I've had the car, I've averaged ~27.6. My daily commute is 60 miles round trip, and random rush hour stop and go, but for the most part 2/3's of my trip is > 50mph.

car is stick. I shift at ~3k up through 3rd, then 2.5k ish afterwards.

Currently about to hit 38.1k miles.

 

[BornStar]

The computer shows about 21mpg on my '99 Aurora. I haven't reset that in a while so that's averaged over probably 2000 miles.

 

[SlowSpyder]

25.3MPG - Just filled up this morning.

98 Mercury Sable w/Duratec 24v engine. 139,000 miles.

I usually get about 23 mpg, but I drove a bit more on the highway over the weekend, so it's a bit higher then normal.

 

[fuzzybabybunny]

45.2078 mpg
504.7 miles
11.164 gallons

2000 Toyota Echo Coupe Manual - 99,750 miles
I usually get around 40mpg, but I recently got a new air filter and was driving on 60mph roads. Driving at 70mph gets me 42mpg. Mixed driving gets me 40mpg. Driving kinda hard (90mph) gets me around 35-37mpg.

 

[timxpx]

2007 civic si (2.0L I-4, 6spd)

sticker: 23 mpg city / 32 mpg hwy

i put in 10.8 gallons on 279 miles last fill up (25.8333 mpg) [exxon, 93 octane, $2.709/gallon]

=/ i only drive on the highway, 28 miles at a time, idk whats wrong.

my 1998 ford contour, unsure about the sticker (2.0L I-4, 5 spd manual) gets between 28-32 mpg (even with 126k miles!) [exxon, 87 octane, haven't driven it in 3 weeks]

---
edit -- to add to the statistics, my gf's 2001 jetta tdi gets 40-50mpg (or roughly 450 miles / filling up an average of 10 gallons at a time ... and it smells like diesel fuel always).

 

[ebaycj]

9/12mpg

supposed to be ~16/22.

old beater dodge dakota v6.

 

[jupiter57]

2002 Silverado,
9.84 MPG @ 75% Hiway miles.

 

[KoolAidKid]

308 miles / 11.8 gallons = 26.1. Mazda3 Hatchback, mixture of city and highway driving. I find my car's gas mileage to be underwhelming.
