What's your gas milage?

KEWROCK · Post by **KEWROCK** » 06 Dec 2009, 22:13

I don't know if this has been done before, but I'd like to start a thread on just gas mileage. Nothing too elaborate. Year, Model, some brief specs/mods and maybe location and driving habits. I'll bet it varies wildly

1999
V70R AWD Auto 115000 miles
Completely Stock
Queens, NYC
Hard driver, nothing illegal or dangerous, just rough
My dash computer averages between 18 and 20 miles per gallon resetting it once a month with a city/hwy mix

Around town I get around 12-13 ltr/100k (22-23.5 MPG).
On a fast highway run 8.5 ltr/100k (33.5 MPG) or if I'm a little more frugal I have had it down to 7 ltr/100k (40 MPG).

That's in a 1995 850 GLT Auto Estate. All stock but I have replaced all the filters, oil, tranny fluid, leads & dizzy recently and have Pirelli's all around.

Drive it reasonably quick, but nothing too stupid (stupid stuff happens in the R32 Skyline

and you dont want to know the fuel ecconomy of that!)

Cheers

1998
S70 T5
220,000 KM
5W30 synthetic oil, methanol injection, K&N air filter, 91 octane fuel.

Daily driven hard, fluids kept pristine. Always allowed to warm up before flogged. Coast to red lights and stop signs.

10.7 litres per 100 KM city
7.1 highway

The fuel range on a very good tank is over 1000 KM on the highway!!!

98 S70 N/A FWD (188K) 22.3MPG (960 throttle plate/air box thermostat flap removed)

00 V70 N/A FWD (112K) 23ish+ MPG No Mods (ETM replaced under extended warranty)

I run premium gas in both. My daughter drives the V70 and is much more light footed than me. Neither has done any significant highway miles in the last couple of years (the wife's 00 Honda Odyssey 171K gets used for that).

Are you saying you get 1000 kms to a tank??? With mixed city and highway driving and gas conservative driving habits I average 650kms per tank of gas regular(cheapest) gas.
