My car says 18.1 mpg. My average speed is 31.4 mph. I gas up every 3 weeks. My daily commute is just over 15 miles per day.

Around 15 to 16. Moderate heavy right foot.

My average speed is about 24mph. My average MPG is 15.8. My average tank of gas gets me about 220 miles if I am lucky. Fill up every week.

However, I have gotten 31.7 on the freeway before. Shame I don't do more freeway runs.
I blame all the construction here in the DFW area.

I'm just south of L.A. 8 miles one way to work, 20 lights and stops, a bit of freeway but all stop and go rush hour. My average is 14, 15 if I use skip shift technique. speed 18 mph, though my lifetime is 27. This tank is 13 so far but I have been bad lately

50/50 average is 18-19 when I do that type of driving.
Now eye opener. When I had my V6 auto, same drive average was just 16!
average 50/50 was 20-21

Never really thought about it before; just keep dumping gas in it and enjoying it!

Avg MPH: 32.0, Avg MPG: 17.8. I've never reset it since I bought it, just hit 18,000 miles.

70% city, but quite a few mountain cruises, and one trip up the West Coast PCH!!!

VaderSS · 05-23-2012, 12:03 AM

16.4

2010 SS M6 Very little highway driving. About 12k miles over the last year (work mostly from home - drive to meetings. 91 octane, if it matters.

16

2010SSRSM6 · 05-23-2012, 12:50 AM

17.1 average over 46k miles. I'm sure it could be better, but it's just too much fun to bury the go fast pedal.
