Our average fuel mileage is 24.55 mpg !

That's a reasonably impressive number for me. We range anywhere from 10 to 58.4, I'm still waiting for someone to submit a <10 number, haha.

My M5 averaged 9 mpg when pushed really hard.

I mean, if you need it the Willys gets around 8-10mpg.

I average 14.8 in the Tundra. However, closer to 30 in the Miata.

Forester averages 24-25 so I'm right in the middle!

Haha, is it a car you drive regularly? I'm most concerned with a accurate overall picture of Oppo Efficiency.

Yeah, I'm only considering numbers that you'd consider your running and/or recent combined average. Not that one time you pushed it real hard, haha. I could probably get down there with my SHO too :D

lol, probably :-)

Normal mileage was around 13-14 mpg.

My diesel wrangler gets about 22 mpg (lifted, big wheels, etc)

I used to drive it to work every other day and in winter. That being said it only has 8k miles on it :/

So no.

My Mustang got about 7.8 MPG when I drove it conservatively. I no longer own it though so I left it out.

My MPG really depends on my mood and the weather. For about 3 months at the end of the summer/fall I averaged ~29mpg (with an AWD vehicle). Right now I'm right at 25. Cold engine isn't nearly as fuel efficient. Engine takes longer to warm up. My commute is just 10 minutes. Plus I'm finding it hard to "hypermile" when I'm already handicapped by the temperature so I'm kinda in a fuckit and waste gas mode at the moment.

Yeah, I get into those moods too. With my short commute these days it doesn't really seem to matter how I drive, I could eek out 20mpg, but will likely hit somewhere around 19. 19=more fun.

What kind of diesel are you running in your Wrangler?

lepie > Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs
11/22/2013 at 14:10

It comes stock with a diesel here. It's a 2.8 liter four clatterer. 200 hp/460 nm stock. Mine puts out 260 hp / 550 nm on a mild tune. The transmission hates it but i just don't give a fuck.

How do i participate? I've seen 9.5 and 51

WhatDaFunk > Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs

I average 13 MPG in my '89 535i, which is right in line with EPA estimates.

we are doing combined average in US mpg, for your frequently driven vehicles.

I get about ~18.5 in my E36, down from 18.7 a couple weeks ago.

Why shift a straight-six below 3K? I have to have *some* fun on my commute.

Normally my Ranger gets about 28 mpg, but lately it's dropped to around 25. I drive mostly highway miles.

HammerheadFistpunch > Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs

Average for the cruiser...13 (50% city)

For the sportwagen...34 (90% city)

Yeah I go between having fun driving to having fun trying to get the best mpg possible. Either way, I'm having fun! Haha.

The last fillup in my DD was 37.2 MPG (1995 Prizm 1.6, 5-speed).

I don't drive it regularly, but my truck gets 3MPG.

If you also want, you can count many things from my fuelly page.

F150: 13.6(!) If you want, I could give you the average while towing...8

E300: 26.8

Z4: 24.2 (Including a track day!)

Triumph Sprint: 35.2

Which ones would you say you drive regularly? I want to get a number for Oppo's fuel efficiency, so a track car, for example, would not be fair to the average.

I average about 18MPG in my Camaro.

All of them, frankly.

The Mercedes gets driven to work, because it's a diesel.

The truck goes to Home Depot, and tows things.

The Z4 is a weekend car which happens to occasionally go to a track day.

The motorcycle is getting more use so it can go in for a valve adjustment.

All the 4 wheel vehicles get approximately 10-15K miles per year (I drive a lot)

my xj gets 19mpg.

Alright, I'm not counting motor cycles for this one. Thats for another day, perhaps another website, lol. But I'll put the other three on the spread sheet, thanks for your contribution!

interesting thread! I could send you my aCar spreadsheets but overall, i hit the freeway for a 240mi trip each weekend and average 15.5 on the freeway in my STI, 16 combined.

With an economy map on last weekend's run, I pulled an amazing 19.2! that was for ~80mi, then did the next ~40 back on the stage map and dropped to 18.3.

My mom's extremely conservative (I mean slower than the stereotypical second-guessing Volvo driver) driving gets the 2001 S60 even with its 2.4T low-pressure 27-34 mpg. When my dad drives it, he gets 23-30 mpg.

My dad's driving of the 2001 Sienna is moderately conservative and he gets 13-22 mpg.

Approximate fuel economy ranges given based on fuel purchase and time taken. S60 tank is 21.1 gallons, Sienna is 20.9.

Mine in US mpg is about 23, but I do have a bit of a lead foot. I can get 26-28 if I drive like a grandma.
