Strangely, going on the interstate for short distances drives it down.

I usually get around 26-30 city and 40-43 highway.

I’m having trouble getting any better than 22 on my Accord 2.4.

Traffic in the Silicon Valley is awful.

I got about 16.5 in the Audi, 21 in the Bimmer, and I have no idea in the Alfa because the odometer doesn’t work.

lol, that is like 4mpg better than the very best tanks on either of my cars (STI and RX8).

21.5 average MPG, 429 HP, 385 TQs, rich Corinthian leather. Suck it.

Nah, my Integra gets 30 mpg city. Plus all the electrics work ^_^

Psh. I probably get a solid 18.

Lower is better, right? I thought this was golf

39mpg UK (32mpg US) in the city with start/stop turned off.

But mines a TSi ACT, so there is that.

No you still suck it

But your clock is really fast though, you should probably correct it.

All the electrics work?

32 kilometres per smoked meat sandwich and protein bar, according to lunch today. Biking is great.

random001 > jkm7680

No! YOU suck it!

I can’t into Protein bars.

Like those Powerbar things that taste like straight protein.

Eh, they’re pretty good. The key is to drink a lot of water with them.

Mine’s exactly half that !

For me they’re just too dense.

jkm7680 > V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches
09/12/2016 at 20:52

Mine used to be half that.

Then I stopped being a baller with two turbos.

I don’t know, probably not great, but if I wanted to get great gas mileage to save a few bucks I’d buy a Prius and then use the savings to get my head examined.

Was the A6 that bad ?

DipodomysDeserti > jkm7680
09/12/2016 at 20:56

Is it an old car?

Phatboyphil > jkm7680
09/12/2016 at 20:57

Ok fine the speakers don’t work, because the previous owner gave up halfway while intalling an amp. It’s not the cars fault though.

jkm7680 > RPM esq.
09/12/2016 at 20:59

I’d rather keep driving my old 2.7t A6 that routinely got 12 mpg city than drive a Prius at all.

jkm7680 > V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches
09/12/2016 at 20:59

Nah, I got 12-15 city usually.

And I was fine with it because that car was a fucking champ.

TT German cars are magical. Until they break.

It was just the clutch, but I needed a car quickly. So I bought the Jetta.

Define city

jkm7680 > Rico
09/12/2016 at 21:17

Some stop and go, nothing above 25 mph

Vicente Esteve > jkm7680

1.4 TSI on the Golf gets me 30 average in the same conditions as you.

jkm7680 > Vicente Esteve
09/12/2016 at 21:19

Pretty good!

You tuned it yet?

Rico > jkm7680
09/12/2016 at 21:20

Is it more stop and go or more cruising at 15-20?

I'm asking only because I think real world usage is better than whatever the EPA thinks city means. City traffic can be different everywhere.

jkm7680 > Rico
09/12/2016 at 21:21

Half and half about.

The EPA ratings are usually a bit off, sometimes manufactures over/undersell the miles per gallon a car can get.

For instance, Hyundai lied about getting 40 mpg at one point.

Rico > jkm7680
09/12/2016 at 21:23

Yeah I know, you're getting great mileage for that kind of driving. I get half that!

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > jkm7680
09/12/2016 at 21:27

Yeah. It definitely helps to have a spare car

RPM esq. > jkm7680
09/12/2016 at 21:47

My crappy FJ80 falls into the same category and mileage bracket.

Vicente Esteve > jkm7680
09/12/2016 at 21:56

Nope, I don’t plan on doing mods tbh. I prefer to save up and buy a GTI or HOPEFULLY an R (if Mexico’s new VW director didn’t lie about it coming here).

I’ve been as high of 6.6L/100km & as low as 8.2L/100km. My Avg is 7.4L/100km, I could get better but the require driving like my mother.

I get about 16 city, which sucks, but 27 highway, which is pretty good for a 6.2L V8.

My renault gets worse economy on the motorway. Its because the gearing is short. 80mph is over 4000rpm...

On long trips on the interstate, I get nearly 35. Short trips, with hills, not so much.

Kinja'd!!!

Same engine, different driver, different VW sedan.

This is stop and go city driving for me with the AC on. Yours is doing really well. I'll admit that I have a relatively heavy right foot, but I average about 24 city if I drive like a regular person.
