Strange, 14.4mpg
So, I took a look at my meter on my car ( shifting through categories with the turn signal lever ) and on avg mpg it says i'm getting 14.4 and avg speed is 15.5. Is there something wrong with my car? Has to do with fuel rails? Maybe I have my RX can hoses hooked up wrong (I DOUBT it).
Anyone can help me with this? Or just simply take it to dealership and be like " fix diz shiz"? **ALSO CAR IS STOCK, NO engine upgrades have been made only RX CC" V6 MODEL Thanks for taking your time to view this as well as respond if at all. -William G Last edited by William.23; 12-03-2013 at 07:10 AM. |

My daily commute is in-town (no highway), and my overall average looks very similar to yours when I don't try to conserve gas (which is most of the time). If I try, I can get just over 16 average. I'm essentially 100% stock.

How often do you reset the meter? Also, what kind of driving? City or highway, lead foot?
The way I do it is I use trip meter one for mpg calculations. Every time I fill up I reset that trip meter, which gives me an accurate number of miles to use and then I divide by the gallons on the pump. I check what the average mpg on the car says and I reset it. Sent from my sweet windows phone using Tapatalk

Yeah, might as well reset your average speed and average mileage and see where your mileage sits normally.
I average 22.0mpg on the DIC... calculated to be about 22.5-23.0. Mostly city driving, never use 4th gear, etc. 14.4 is really low. You could go the mod route and get an intake to boost it a little.

Also, I mainly do city driving calm and slow and usually it's about 4-8 miles a day. Moreover, when I go to school 4x a week the trip is through a highway about 23miles to and another 23m back, I usually stay within the 55-65mpg range. Sometimes I will step on it going up to 75 but that's about it. Just reset it at 17569 miles, let's see how it works. ( RESET both avg speed/fuel econ ) Last edited by William.23; 12-05-2013 at 09:07 AM. |
