Not too bad for mileage

RE: Not too bad for mileage
I've been able to get some really good fuel economy numbers out of mine IF I drive it nice. On a round trip to another city that is 250 miles away I got 28 (33 mpg Canadian, our gallons are bigger) mpg from mine. That was with the cruise set at 70 mph. (110 kph) These cars have much more efficient exhaust than "average" cars and the gearing is actually suited to the power characteristcs of the engine unlike most cars, so if you drive them right they will get some very suprising fuel economy numbers. Of course that is NOT what I bought it for but it's good to know how efficient these cars are. BTW the Canadian model has a speedo that goes to 250 kph. An advantage for having to live in such a crappy climate.

lol my all time low was 6. something
that was a bad day...i think i sat in traffic for about 6 hours to move a total of 40 miles
but my car is still new so any little jam will effect my average mpg (i onlt have a total of about 400)
