I just drove to Bayonne, NJ from Montreal, QC (680KM or 425 miles). The whole trip took 56 litres (14.8 gallons)! That's almost 29 miles per gallon. It's the first time I get over 20 miles per gallon. Considering I constantly drove the whole trip between 130 and 145KM/h (80 and 90mph) I find it quite impressive.

Just had to share a slice of life

 

That's not an acurate way of measure MPG, so it could be higher.

 

If you keep it under 80 you could get 33mpg like I did on my last roadtrip.

 

so what then is an accurate way ..

I usually fill to full tank .. reset trip computer .. drive till i refill .. i take

Miles driven
------------------------ = miles per gallon
amount of gallon on refill

 

Seattle to Phoenix I averaged 32.5 doing 82 the whole way.

 

But there's gas still in the tank. You have to fill up and reset your odometer (everything is at 0). Then when it's time to fill up again, you take the mileage and divide that by the amount of fuel you put in. The fuel you put in will equal the amount of fuel you used. To be as acurate as possible, you have to go to the same gas station and use the same pump as different pumps may stop at different times. And don't top off.

 

Thats not quite high gas mileage...if you keep on driving at 67 mph, you will get 37 mpg...like i did.

 

also .. i notice the second half of the mark on the gas gauge .. it drops down hella fast. By the time i get to middle mark .. i've driven aobut 180 miles .. after that .. when it's time to refill .. its about 300 .. isnt that odd???

 

Yup, show's how inacurate gas guages are.

 

Next time give us a heads up my friend! Would love to get a pic with an Arizona licensed TSX.

 

Sorry .. forgot to say that i reset it before i fill up ..

 

But did you drive it till you ran out of gas?

 

nm .. sorry to thread jack

 

That's why I said it was pretty good gas mileage considering the speed I was driving at...

Driving at 50mph would probably yield even better gas mileage...

 

this weekend i drove from DC-philly and philly back to DC.. went the whole trip with one tank of gas.. the refuel light came up at 400 miles.

 

i used to get about 28mpg or more constantly , ever since i installed the icebox, i get like 23-24 now..anyone else notice this?

 

Considering 90 mph, that's pretty good.

 

roll down here., its only a 22hr drive
