What is your average MPG on your 3800?

[Freebeer187]

If I can keep out of it, I can do high 20's on the highway. The way I drive it, I generally get about 10 miles a gallon though. Typically I'm only pulling it out if I'm in the mood to go fast and then it's seeing a lot of wide open throttle.

I got upper 18s avg with mine. But I beat it up a lot too. Probably not a shocker.

On a long highway trip I once saw 28MPG.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

With the "rural" city driving I did I would get low 20's. That's basically driving from crystal lake to buffalo grove taking 14 and lake cook. I didn't beat on it much though.

Pure highway was like 30-32 ish

 

[Bru]

On the highway I can still pull off high 20s low 30s. But my normal commute is like 16 mpg because it's a short drive (3 miles) in traffic through Naperville.

 

[Mook]

Colleen's car gets 17/18 because we usually drive her car to work and it's like 6 minutes. Highway is around 28.

Haven't really driven the daytona enough yet to say what it's settling into. I'd say 18 or so driving around town. Dunno highway yet.

I used to drive my Impala 78 miles (one way) to work every day about a year ago. I would lock the speedo at 65 and was getting 32 to 34MPG using 92 octane I would get about 28 to 30 on 87.

Now I drive 12 miles a day round trip and get about 19MPG

 

[1quick]

I average 17-18 town and country driveing mostly country and I set the cruiz at 60, this is on e85

i get fordy mp geeez

 

[xringshooter7]

between ottawa and champaign i usually get about 25 mpg @ 80 mph, but around town, it's like 15 mpg....but i use my remote start alot

By using remote start you mean letting your car warm up thus using more gas? Haha me too Everytime

 

[xringshooter7]

Yup, the way it's wired it will run the MPG monitor, but won't fire up my heated seats, even if they are on...

sounds lie they wired it to power up only the engine portion of the IGN switch circuits...you can run a relay off that power to feed into the aux power circuits comming outta the ign switch if you want them seats to fire up when you rem start it

 

[daturbosix]

my old 98 gtp, i was getting 29 locked at 70ish. it was pullied, straight exhaust, short ram/redneck CAI, autolite 104s, msd wires, 160tstat..went to florida, most comfortable ride eva. i miss that car.

 

[Euro]

Around town and stuff I'd get shit mileage in the GP because my commute to work one-way is literally an 1/8th mile

When I was on the interstate for a good amount of time I'd pull off low 30's, my highest being 34 when I took a huge 1200 mile roadtrip a couple summers ago.

I too average about 18-19 driving it nice, sucks up fuel pretty bad when i get on it though. Definitely turns into a sipper on the highway, i see high 20's at 70-ish, faster and it starts falling. I remember going through 15gallons of E85 tuning my blue car in 90miles

EDIT: that was for the stock+turbo car, the ST5 crazy turbo one gets like 14-15 daily driving, and I have no idea what i gets on the highway. I'll bet low 20's, to be expected I suppose. I'll find out once I can drive it more than a week without it breaking.

 

[AjL227]

With a decent amount of highway driving + taking advantage of deceleration situations, I get 22 on average. This is with my X-P cam CompG.

 

[boostedguy05]

i see about 20 ish and that is with a mix of highway and street. 5 days a week im putting in a 62 mile round trip for work.

 

[Yaj Yak]

high teenns. but i like hearing my turbo spool.

 

[DOC-Z]

<-- JEALOUS OF:

.../ --/...I like hearing my turbo spool.

When I had the G/P, I averaged between mid 17's to 20's depending on whether or not it was summer and my driving style. It was low in the winter because I would let the car warm up for about a minute before taking off. In the summer, I could have done better but I was at WOT (WOOT WOOT) a LOT more than I should've.

Now that I have a N/A 3800 with a T5 manual, it looks like I have you all beat. I just figured out my mileage last night. On the highway, I'm getting about 31 to 32 mpg's, while around town, I'm getting between 23 and 25 mpg's. I'm not in the throttle as much, because this car is --s - l -- o ---- w.




...but I'm down to race anyone on here....just as long as it's a 425 mile trip!

I wish I would have known that two years ago...

~20 on my 97 GTP... 32mpg highway.


My brothers 97 GTP was tuned specifically for MPGs... was like 22 city and 34 highway.

I remember riding back with Panda from Eagle River averaging 34.6mpg the whole way home.

But what constitutes city driving? Pure city driving to me means you're never getting over 30-35 and stop signs or lights every block.

 

[FastKatt]

I've been seeing 20-21mpg in my Comp-G (GT Gears) 3.4" Pulley Winter Fuel
I don't get on the toll road much, but my last trip to The Dells I was getting 28-29mpg

 

[MadMike]

about 12-15 city and around 28 highway, at least thats what the DIC tells me, idk why its so low in the city, kinda odd, i dont tool around in it anymore, i guess cuz its so heavy.
but when i first got the car, and it was stock, i was seeing like 20 city and like 36 highway, kinda unreal.
