WOW!!! I just got 24.3 mpg from my last tank!! That is unbelievable. There was a fair amount of highway driving but, even on the highway i have it floored and stuff. I was definately not driving conservatively. I am pretty happy.

What kind of mileage is everyone else getting?

 

I'm lucky if I get 275-300 miles to the tank

 

usually i get about 300-330. This time I got 360. I was impressed

 

i get about 20 mpg

what kinda gas did you use

 

Don't feel bad i usually get about 250 out of a tank FAWK gas mileage

 

i usually get at least 280 per tank... usually go over 300... if not then it's weird... even with my occasional lead foot

 

I get somewhere around 20mpg-22mpg

 

This weekend I did about 90% highway driving/10% city and got 27mpg. My Dad wanted to hear the CAI so I did a couple WOTs for him as well.

 

24-25 to/from work (country), and 30-31 on the Interstate.

 

The sticker on the car doesn’t say it, but the 6-Speed definitely gets better mileage then the Auto if you behave with the VTEC.
I averaged between 18-22 with the SlushBox 2001, but with this car I’m regularly getting 22-23 at each fill up.

My “long trip” record with the 2001 was 32.5 MPG on my way to Canada.
I haven’t taken any long trips with this car yet.

Around FL, to & from work, I get about 250 miles on a full tank. I haven't figured out the mileage. I'm a very bad lead foot. I do 90 on the HW's, alot of full throttle etc. My 3K mile road trip to NYC though I did keep track of mileage, & got 33-34mpg! 390-410 miles on a tank!

 

28500 miles

27.7 MPG average

It seems the brand of gas can affect mileage.

 

2700 miles

I've been getting around 25-26 mpg, ExxonMobil Premium (93). Gas mileage appears to have gotten better as the engine has broken in.

That mostly highway though, avg. about 75 mph I'd guess, mixed in with a little city driving near work and near my house.

 

heh, u guys are impressed by 23-26 miles a gallon? The CLS has this knack for being super fuel efficient (like with most cars) when ur not stopping and going. If you drive a constant speed, even 100MPH, the fuel economy will be that much better. It's not how fast u drive, but how hard u accelerate and how often u accelerate. When I drive to Los Angeles to San Fran and vice versa, I don't even need to fill up on gas; In fact the first time I did this I got about 32 miles a gallon. Went all the way from LA to SF on one tank and guess what, I didn't even hit red yet!

 

What brand do you use?? I get 20 miles per gallon everytime, no matter which brand. However, last week i filled up at the Arco, and my car would not budge. It felt slugish, Then i put in 76 with PRO POWER and it rocked like ususal.

 

I get around 275 to the tank.........but I also don't do a lot of highway driving

 

How much is that per gallon???? Here is the Bay Area, currently
gas is about $1.79-$1.89 a gallon for Chevron Supreme.
And that is only 91 Octane.

 

A Texaco near work. My car does not like the Texaco near home.

I try to switch brands every 5000 miles.

The other station I tend to use is a Crown.


I keep a record of my gas purchases/MPG for two reasons:

1. Keep an eye out for pump fraud.

2. Keep track of prices/quality

Gas quality varies by region and business, so no brand is 'better.' Some companies share gas when it is cost effective. The stations I get a lower MPG average from I avoid. I reason the lower MPG is due to incorrect pumps/pump fraud or poor quality gas. For me, it is not much trouble to get a receipt, write my mileage on it, and enter in a spread sheet at work. I also note when I change my oil or add fuel system cleaner.

 

I've got 5000 miles and I get 18-20/gallon. If I mellowed out I could get a few more but that's not gonna happen.

 

The last month or so it's been $1.59 near my work in New Hampshire and $1.67 near my house in Massachusetts (except on Super Tuesday! 8 cents off, whoopie). Those are both ExxonMobils, Premium (93 octane) gas.

 

I usually get about 230 per tank, down into the reserve, in city driving in Atlanta. That's a lot of SS, haulin ass, etc. I went to Orlando this weekend, and got 380 miles a tank, with about 2 gallons left to spare. Pretty big difference.

 

I get 19mpg in the city (absolutely no highway). I have 30 stop lights in a 13.5 mile one way trip to work. I just returned from a 380 mile business trip (all interstate) and got 27.5 mpg with the cruise set at 75. I'm burning 93 octane local brand of gas.

I am leaving for Colorado in 2 weeks. I will have the CAI installed by then, and I am curious if my mileage will increase as claimed.

 

Does mileage improve with the CAI and headers? .....Provided you lay of the ol' lead foot!!!

 

I've read that there is supposed to be a mpg increase at highway speeds with the CAI.
