My car is getting 31.143 miles per gallon, what is yours getting ?

[Ouabache]

Does anyone here ever check the gas mileage their car gets?

I always do every summer, over a 2 weeks or so period, usually as we take vacation or a few short trips, etc...

So this year my two weeks was around 1200 miles total. This was a mix of driving and two 3 day trips to some sites and amusements.

Interstate, US Highway, State 2-lanes, and city/suburb driving as well. Some stretches were at 70-75 mph, others were all lower than that. Air-conditioning running quite a bit.

What kind of mileage are you getting ?

I ride a Scarabeo 50.

Not good for the fwy, but great for a city like San Fran.

4. i just don't know

if the gas gauge goes down to fast , i check for a leak , if it don't go down at all , that means i have not left the yard , but yes it is a good idea to check the milage to see if something has gone wrong with your car ,

5. 32mpg around town, about 41 on trips.

2000 Toyota Echo.

[TrueAmerican]

7. 17 mpg

2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

[Piperay]

33. That's about the same as I get

I have a Range Rover.

[tridim]

8. ~30 mpg highway

for the Nissan, and 25mpg for the Fiat. Not good enough IMO. The Fiat is just a one day a week play car, so I can live with the crappy mileage it gets.

I was going to buy one of the 45mpg Honda Civics, but I lost my job before I found a good one. :( I currently have my eye on a Vespa.

9. my car is supposed to get 50 mpg

but I've never really checked

It's a 2003 VW Jetta TDI (diesel) 5-speed

[cprise]

23. Another VW TDI here - upto 55 mpg!

I used to keep a milage log.

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. Say, that's

10 * ? MPG.

[Kazak]

11. We usually get between 33 and 35 mpg...

'95 Mitsubishi Mirage.

[dflprincess]

12. Usually 33 mpg

mostly city driving. If it gets a long highway run I can get 35-37. But if I use the AC a lot it will drop to about 30 in the city.

I usually check the mileage about once a month. I tell myself that's a way to make sure everything is running right.

96 Civic sedan.

[DS1]

13. 28 to 32, depending on if I'm being nice

97 Mitsu Eclipse GS-T

[madrchsod]

14. about 25

highway,97 dodge intrepid,170000 miles. 93 geo about 35-40 in town-it has only has 3 cylinders..it better get good gas milage..

[Runesong]

15. Our Kia gets about 40 mpg

under normal circumstances. At one time, we seemed to have travelled from Ware Mass, to Bangor Maine on $5.00 worth of gas, which is of course impossible. We must have a few gallons of slack at "empty". but this little car gets miraculous, way better than advertized gas milage, much like our old 1600cc subaru wagons way back when. I hate cars, but I'm starting to like this one. :)

16. 25-30

A fair mix of city and highway driving. I rarely run the air conditioner.

[northofdenali]

22. 32-35 in town when it's not really cold

about 40 on the "highways" here. That's the car. The bike gets around 45 everywhere.

otherwise, around 28.

[Bombero1956]

The E-Bike continues on with zero emissions and zero petroleum use.

Of course, I've never tried it on the freeway! :)

[DemoTex]
