Hey Guys,
So I am just wondering what your MPG is. Please also include car year and mileage. I just want to know if my 14mpg city is normal.
Thanks.

 

 

stop/go (avg mph <20 mph) = low MPGs ie 14-15 mpg.
hwy (>55mph)= 30+ mpg potential

i get 18 mpg with avg speed of 25 mph (historically). currently getting 22-23 mpg with avg speed of 30 mph. your MPGs won't change drastically as the car ages unless something is truly wrong.

 

Weeeee!!!!

 

average MPH?

it never ends

 

i get 18-20 mpg city. dont every really drive interstate so idk bout that

 

hey anna there are threads on mpg that will give you some ideas on where you stand on your car.

14 is barely below average but not terrible...inflate your tires a bit more maybe

i love mpg threads lol
and people not believing 25mph 25mpg too.

2007 TL 120k mile.

i can see you could get 14mpg with 91octane (as opposed to 93) with cali weather and traffic..

 

I just picked my TL up 3 weeks ago; '05 TL 6spd with 114k miles. I've been easy on it in city driving (on the highway but during rush hour) and I average 23-24mpg shifting below 2k-3k rpm. I'm curious to take a full on highway trip to see if I can hit 30mpg. It looks like the dealer replaced the engine and cabin filters and the spark plugs look semi-new so I don't see anything I can do to increase mileage but from the looks of it my numbers seem about normal.

 

The 6MT TL's are highway queens. Mid 30's are easy in warm weather on long drives.

'City' driving varies WILDLY from area to area and person to person. Expect between 5-40 MPG in 'city' driving. 14 isnt unreasonable at all. Have some understanding of basic physics and it's exceedingly obvious why.

 

Check your E-Brake to make sure it is adjusted properly. When I changed my rotors I saw some wear on the pads. We made sure they were not binding on the drum and my mileage instantly went up 2-4mpg. 06 AT 120K+. I average ~23-24mpg combined.

 

I get about 22-23 average MPG
If I do freeway/highway more often I get around 27-29mpg
127XXX miles 04 AT TL (92 chevron gas)
Also I have been giving more gas lately then usual since I got my exhaust mods. LOL hearing the sound makes me waste more gas.

 

around 15 in the city stop and go traffic, close to 30 on highway.

 

So I had my first long highway trip. It wasn't that long really, just 180 miles but it was straight up highway at 70-80mph. It was slightly uphill heading up but with a slight tailwind and opposite coming back. I could not break 29mpg on the dash readout; I really wanted to break into the 30s but couldn't. Weather was a little humid but ambient temp was upper 70s.

 

Tires and speed will determine if you can get over 30mpg on the highway in a '05 6-speed.

 

Just thought I'd throw mine up here:

2005 TL, 101K miles

Avg 18-22mpg @ avg speed of 18-20mph

City driving in Honolulu, I think traffic here is the worst in the nation - besides New York / Washington DC

 

 

After 3 weeks of driving only to work and back mine is around 11mpg and 9mph. Traffic doesn't suck but they have the lights timed perfectly so you stop for every single light even at 4am. I can only assume it's on purpose because there's no way this can happen by chance. I believe there's a city tax on gasoline so that would make sense.

 

mine is at 22mpg averaging 30 mph over a period of 6K miles

 

21 mpg, avg 29 mph. Just got 24 mpg (calculated manually) with half highway (75mph) and half city.

 

I get around 16-18 MPG doing and average of 15 mph.

I do the best I can trying to hypermile when I drive. Living in NYC makes it ridiculously tough though.

Some of you guys have TERRIBLE MPG. And here I thought something was wrong with my car LOL

 

Most of my driving is combined, I have been getting anywhere from 18-21mpg in my TL-S 5AT, with some spirited driving in there.

Drove 100mi on the highway the other day at 70-75mph on cruise, got 30mpg.
