I do mostly city driving and I'm at ~230km right now and the needle is slightly above half tank. I'm still on the same tank of gas from last Friday when I went to pick it up.

My GD is weird apparently.
Do you feather the throttle? Cruise in 3rd during lower speed? Basically play around and see how it goes.

That's pretty good considering the fact that your car is an automatic.

Hey all,

I live in Vancouver and get awful mileage. Over the last year, I have been getting between 325km/tank in winter to 500km/tank in summer. My average range is between 385 - 450 / tank. The fill-up varies as well since where I live, vehicles are refueled by attendants. And when I fill up, I over fill a bit. (I don't stop when the pump stops automatically as I've noticed the tank is not always showing full when attendants stop filling when the pump stops.)

The best I've gotten is near 800 km (I think it was 785) driving secondary highways, not freeways, between 50-65 mph / 80-106kph coming back from Reno, NV with just me and luggage. The best I've gotten with a loaded car (three people and luggage) has been 620 km. Taking freeways, going a steady 65-75+MPH really kills mpg of this car.

Basically, I averaged 5.1l/100 km or 46.12 mpg coming back - I also have to say that the thin Nevada air did nothing for my car's power. It took forever to get to freeway speeds, especially fully loaded. The car is a lot of fun in the twisties though...

Holy necroposting. I’m amazed I still get email notifs for this board.

You’re going to get consistently crappy mileage compared to stateside, we have shitty infrastructure with too much stop and go traffic and we’re basically all hills. Mixed driving I never got more than 400km a tank but I also wrung out the motor pretty often.
