My measured mileage over the last week netted 27.86 mpg.
I have a Sport A/T. I have a 8 mile ride to work, with a possible max of 6 stops along the way, and speeds ranging up to 50 mph. Throw in a couple of weekend hiway uses at 75-80 mph--it's just so much fun. I've been babying most of my accelerations--just went over 600 miles yesterday--but I've had a few into VTEC territory. If anyone has driven in Massachusetts--you understand.
It's a lot of fun when that second bank of intake valves kicks in, but I haven't run any rpms over 4500. I want this engine to last.
But my 8.452 gallons today cost me $25.09 at $2.969/gal. The way I see it, this isn't much more money for a week's gas than my parents were paying in the 1970's, for a '74 Impala with a 20 gal. tank. Yes, their dollar went farther, but in the end, it's still the same weekly shell-out.
