No, the EPA doesn't really rate cars that you can't buy in the US...

Also, you will notice you can find heavy duty vehicles, as they aren't rated.

This says a lot about fueleconomy.gov, especially since I've never seen 20mpg in mine (best was 27mpg and worst was 21 I think).

I don't believe I ever got better than 13 combined. With a 5.0 and all that weight it always felt like I was going too fast. You could feel that auto locker engage every time you tried fast cornering. I wish it had an off switch. No oppo. :-(

I loved this car (also loved the Mazda 3s hatch I had after it).

I love my current car more, though.

16 mpg combined, and is a sedan. Any guesses?

Label is LIES. I'm seeing 16.5-17.4 returns, each tank. Easy 50/50 split.

Label is also lies. (When it ran) I saw high-20s to low 30s. Sometimes nearly 35 MPG.

yeah, im doing better than my label too, but not by much. I think since they obviously can't test the cars again, they simply apply a mathematical formula based on the new methodology, and it gets it wrong often.

nope, though im pretty sure its just dirty injectors. I have been seafoaming the tank every 3rd fillup and its happening a lot less frequently. I was thinking about having the injectors bench flowed. It seems to have gotten a lot better with a new evaporation canister too.

Not sure why there is a ten year old rule, so newest to oldest listed below. Either way looks like I'm just mid pack. But glad to see the mpgs are always getting better!

The 10 year old rule is to wead out all the high fuel economy machines that started in the last decade. And Im amazed the SC does so poorly and the cherokee so well. I was looking at an SC this morning thinking, boy that car has aged well, I could get into that. Too bad about the 4 speed though.

P.S. The e85 rating has to be wrong.. Swear the couple time i tried it was barely breaking 10 mpg's. Thanks for saving me 50 cents at the pump..

Well, the VW was built in late 2003, so it just squeaks by on your 10-year rule.

Huh. I guess neither gets great gas mileage.

Here is the data for the Jetta, of course I usually do better than that (around 32)

No bikes on the site, but mine does terribly (for a bike), usually around 40MPG

And the 86? With how I drive, I average between 22 and 24 mpg (no city), but did manage a respectable 33.6 mpg on a long highway trip I took recently.

Chase > HammerheadFistpunch 09/12/2013 at 12:02

I love my truck. I've beat the snot out of it, but it just keeps going. I actually average 18-18.5 mpg (majority highway) during the summer. Hit 19.2 driving back down for school, highest I've ever gotten. During the winter mileage drops from because I'm in the city fro college (I saw 12.4 last winter)

Milky > HammerheadFistpunch 09/12/2013 at 12:03

Ahh I see, and just fyi I always got 20-22mpg in the SC. Also If memory serves me right, they gave it a 5spd in either '95, '96 or 97' when it got a refresh.

P.S. I still miss it.

HammerheadFistpunch > Milky 09/12/2013 at 12:04

I honestly don't know. All I know is I have a manual with the 5.9L Magnum in it with the 5.9L Badges on the side. Maybe the previous owner swapped in the engine and stuck the badges on. I don't know.

Sadly no, only the SC300 had a manual option. But that still is a great car, because you know "2JZ, no shit"

Do you have a 5.9RT?

If so, RT's were four speed auto only, so it's a swap.

If it's not an R/T, then the 5.9 was swapped in.

My truck is actually a F250 with a V10 which the site does not have listed. This is at the high side of what I actually get though. Normally its 12 mpg.

looked up my 1996 dodge ram 1500 4wd and it gets 12 avg - 8.3 gallons per 100 miles and I put 150k on that. 8.3 x 1500 = 12450 gallons of gas @ 3.50 = $43,575 in gas. Granted gas was actually $2 a gallon so technically $25,000 in gas. Still as much if not more than the truck.

Just realised something, my Civic has the 1.4 litre, that engine probably got even better mileage. Doesn't seem like it was available in the US though so the 1.6 will have to do.

Yeah, 'fraid so.

The economy gauge overhead (where it can be seen from cars behind, and effectively screams at everyone in the vehicle) is so depressing in that vehicle.

The biggest thing for us was that it was purchased in summer-ish. Big 4WD behemoth. Should be great in snow, right?

Wrong. It defaulted to RWD until slippage was sensed, then it would cut in the center diff for AWD. Great! Except for the little detail that you're already sideways through whatever intersection it was. My wife was very much unhappy with that, and we lived just north of Syracuse, NY at the time. Snow was a way of life.

It DID make strange sense when we had even more snow than usual one year. With it, we could actually see over the snowbanks. But that was short-lived.
