My wife’s car get about 1.5 miles per gallon better than average, though it matches as median mpg . My car gets, uh, maybe half a mile better, but I’m 1 mpg below the median. Could be worse!

Use whatever source you like, but !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which is nice because you can quickly filter by engine, and by submodel body style if desired.

pretty close, I get 16-18 with my 4.0 4WD Ranger, that’s about what the Fuellistas are reporting.

20 mpg combined on a good day, which is exactly where I expected

I get considerably lower than the average on my Mazda5, about 19 compared to most people’s 26-27. But my driving is mostly in town, stop and go, with just a 2.3 mile commute to work . If I drove it like a minivan it might do better, but with a slick 6MT, an engine that loves to rev and good suspension I drive it more like a Miata than a momwagon.

I’m getting about the same fuel economy as the one other dude/dudette on a CL450. Also, Google analytics can’t figure me out. I’ve been offered both a Kia and Halal food today. Two things I couldn’t care less about.

How I picture zoidberg driving

I don’t know. All the figures have what I assume is plug in too.

I got bored with Fuelly last fall and haven’t bothered tracking my fuel economy since then, but my average then was 28.0 mpg (US) after 10,000 miles of driving (80 percent city, 20 percent highway).

Fuelly reports an average of 32.38 mpg among all 2010 Honda Fit owners, which tells me I’m driving with more verve or doing more city driving than the average user.

Exactly the same when when counting all 2004 Solara’s at 23.6 mpg. There is only one of the exact same trim level and design and that gets 24.1.

2014 WRX -  Worse by 2 mpg. My right foot has always been a little too heavy.

I’ve averaged 24.3 MPG on my V50 since I started tracking a couple weeks after I got it. This is 0. 3 MPG worse than the average of all V50s, but 1.5 MPG better than the average of only the T5 V50s. I feel pretty good about that.

Perhaps a bag, but filled with milk?

This compare-o actually makes me feel warm and fuzzy... The only one below average is only .2 below average and it has 4.56 gears, a lift and big dumb tires.

Nice — and wow that community XJ economy is bad. Makes a V8 Runner look defensible.

When I was bone stock I could get 20-24 on a road trip. Then I decided to lift it. At first, 3" lift and 31x10.50 tires. Tat dro- pped it to 13-15. Then the TCC lockup solenoid failed. That dropped it to 8-9. After fixing that, then lifting it more and installing bigger tires, I could somehow eek out 16. Then it declined to 10-13 after a while, and man it was gutless with 3.55 gears. Then I re-geared and swapped it to a manual transmission and I rarely get less than 15. Still utterly gutless, though. I don’t get why people fawn over the 4.0 I-6 so much. Yeah, it’s durable, but it’s inefficient and doesn’t make much power.

This little bugger has wormed its way into my heart and I’ll never sell it, but if I could do it over I would have kept my CJ-7 or found a Cruiser.

De ad average on both my road worthy vehicles. 2014 grand c herokee 3.0 diesel (26 mpg) and newly acquired 2017 mustang gt premium w/ performance pack (19 mpg ) .  

Was looking for a 5.0 with some color, but at least the Mr s. really digs them matching.

Who are these guys that are getting 27-29 MPG?

I’m thrashing the piss out of my Veloster (and having insane amounts of fun) and getting something like 20.8 at the moment.

I also use Fuelly! :D

Add me as a friend on there (button of my profile, click ‘Add as a friend’)! I already have several Oppos on my friends list there! :P

As for comparing? The average from other 2009 Accent users is 8.0L/100km according to Fuelly. My car was the same (same engine/trans./options, etc) from 2006-2010, so if I average the 2006-2010 Accents from other users together that gives me 8.1L/100km.

With Humdrum, my average is 7.0L/100km , with my personal worst being 8.25L/100km and my personal best being 6.0L/100km , so I would say I am doing well! :D

Why did I actually do this?

Either something is wrong with my car, the way I drive, or the way everyone else that uses Fuelly and has my car drives. 

My a verage mpg over 5k miles tracked = 21.4 (my best is 26.1)

Fuelly combined average mpg = 25.8

I’ve only filled up 3 times so far, but I’m doing better than average. Fuelly says the avg for the Mazda3 is 32.27mpg. My three fill ups have been 32.6, 33.4, and 33.8mpg. M ostly 75mph highway driving.
