New to posting, three months of lurking. I just bought a 2006 TSX MT non/navi. Got out of a 2004 Maxima SE Lease.

Wanted to ask responses on MPG but only if it includes average speed per tank. I found in my Maxima (that got surprisingly decent MPG of 19-28), that my actual MPG was directly tied to what my average speed was for the week. I regularly would get 20 if my average speed per tank was 19-23 MPH. If my average speed got above 25, I could get upwards of 22-24 and 28 on the Highway.

It is frustrating to me when I look through the topics on MPG and folks say "city" when there is no way in the world that city driving in Topeka, KS and Raleigh, NC is anything close to Los Angeles or Atlanta. I don't know how much different it will be, but I can't imagine that many get worse average speed than those two cities.

So, on my first two tanks of gas, I have averaged 25 MPH and 22 MPH and have gotten 25 and 24 MPG respectively. I sure hope it gets better after my first oil change. Can someone respond with their Ave Spd and MPG? Thanks!

 

:ibsauceman:

No idea, but I'm sure sauceman will chime in when he gets here.

 

Only the 06 display gives you the average speed per tank. Sauceman has an 04.

But, it makes sense. If you did non-stop for the entire tank then your mileage would go up. The higher the average per tank the less time you spend stopped (idling) or slowing down.

 

Oh well, I guess I am SOL on getting "city" comparables. Just enjoying being in a MT again regardless of the MPG gains.

 

The history screen on the NAVI in the 04 will give you that info.

 

I have an '06 5AT (admittedly not a 6MT) with about 1200 miles on it. That being said, the MID has been showing an average of 27.5-28.0 MPG with an average speed of 33.0-35.0 MPH over the past three tanks.

I am about 2/3rd through the current tank and the MPG has dropped to ~26.0 with the same driving conditions. It could be bad gas (although I am only using Chevron and Shell Super Unleaded) or the MID re-calibrating. In the first few tanks it seemed that the MID over-stated the MPG by about 1.5-2.0 MPG based on my calculations done at the pump.

 

So far I have about 3500 miles on my '06 5AT and my MID shows I get about 25.8 - 26.5 mpg on a full tank and an average speed of 43 mph. The usual range on a tank is about 310 - 330.

 

I wish I had that feature...

 

The '04-'05 Navi has Avg. speed on the current tank, and possibly in "History" for the previous tank.

 

If so then I'm .

jlukja, who doesn't have a navi.

 

Yea, i think my 05 tells me the average speed of the last tank.

 

Yep, the last tank when it is in the history section, not the current tank.

So I was only half right.

 

I average about 25-30 MPH and you can see my AVG MPG.
