My best was 31mpg @ 80mph in the summer with AC
Ive average ~26mpg the entire time Ive owned the car. Thats mixed driving and with alot of high rpm pulls. Im interested to see what my mileage will be this summer.

So how many miles do you guys get out of a tank? I just got my car and I'm still measuring my first "full" tank. Hoping to get about 350 mixed mostly city?
It used to be a challenge on my old Prelude to get 300 miles out of its tiny tank, didn't hold near as much as the CL-S.

kinda hard to compare different tank sizes when they get quite a bit different gas mileage (most vehicles of all brands seem to average around 300-350 or so)

Wow, stop and go driving hurts. I also usually shift 1-3-5-6 instead of rowing through all the gears. Saves on clutch wear and works just fine. Working at home means I don't have to drive to work but I still manage to put on over 15k miles a year.

I like the 1, 3, 5, 6 idea. These cars do have plenty of torque, so no need to row through all gears. Although it would probably weird me out at first, being so used to shifting through each gear.
Oh, and I wasn't trying to compare my Prelude to the CL-S, just that I usually have a benchmark that I shoot for each tank. Lets me know if I am driving extra-spirited or extra-grandma lol.

I average 400miles per tank year round.
#22
Last time I got my tank filled, we had ~17 degree weather, so of course that killed my gas mileage quite a bit. I think I got about ~250 on about 13-14 gallons
noob question: How are people cataloging their gas mileage, like you see around here? I mean get those line graphs...?

Click "Garage" at the top of this page. If you added your car to it, click "Fill Up Vehicle" on the right side of the page. You can enter everything in there.

Lol, I usually keep all my gas receipts in the car till the end of the month, then bring them in the house, upload it, then staple them together, put them in an envelope and put it with the rest of my receipts. Ive filled up a 5" binder with receipts.

I would think intake, exhaust, headers, etc. would all help gas mileage, as they help the engine breathe more efficiently. Granted you would have to drive it the same way modded as you would stock to get the gains, which would be hard (at least in the beginning). But once your lead foot calmed down I could definitely see you getting gains.

It should in theory. You're making more power with the same amount of gas so it takes less gas to get you to say 60mph then before. Problem is that most people are more throttle happy when they add mods like that because they like to play around with the extra power so they don't see gains and more likely see a drop in mileage.

TQ > MPG
The winter gasoline mix also seems to hurt mpg a bit, extra idling for warm-up, and colder air = denser air, so you use more gasoline because there is more oxygen in the same amount of air. Thats mostly the reason your car feels stronger in the cold weather. (and the car can run more timing).
