I have over 50K miles and I've been getting 23-24 mpg with 80-20%.... It's dropped off I think because VA just raised their speed limits.... ;-)

'11CamaroLS · 04-07-2011, 07:08 PM

i have around 13K miles now. before i got my K&N intake i was getting like 19.9 mpg with average speed of 42 or so. with my intake im getting around 20.6 and im thrilled with that, i wasnt really expecting an increase. but i went on a mini vacation and on the way there i only averaged 23.6 mpg with almost all freeway. on the way back it did improve but its still only at 25 mpg. not the greatest but oh well i guess. the dead stop traffic through seattle didnt help im sure lol.
i didnt trade my Optima that got 33 mpg plus for nothing. ill take 6 less mpg for over double my hp.

ponygirlnomore · 04-29-2011, 07:11 PM

Just hit 1000 miles, hardly any highway (maybe 20% max); average speed limit in the city for me is somewhere around 40mph. With the 1000 miles I have, I'm averaging 23.8 mpgs.

GearHeadPeter · 04-29-2011, 07:30 PM

Depending on how heavy my foot is on the gas pedal I am averaging about 23 mpg with 80% highway and 20% surface streets. Long hauls I average about 28-30 mpg. Mine has 7800 miles on it now.

Spicoli · 04-29-2011, 08:05 PM

My experience:

11K miles young.
Drive it like I stole it most of the time.
Average 19-20 mpg combined city/highway (50/50) - DIC.
Long trips (100 miles or so), highway only, 70 mph I average 27 mpg - DIC.
One real long trip, full tank at 67-68 mph (interstate tollroad where speed limit was 65), I averaged 30.8 mpg - calculated by hand, 30.6 - DIC

Plan to upgrade to a cai and axle back this summer. Interested to see how my mileage might improve, but concerned that I will like the sound so much that my right foot will prevail and I will see no mpg improvements.

efpardo · 05-12-2011, 08:28 PM

I'm not sure if my new ram-air hood made the difference but; I drove from Lansing MI to Detroit today and got some impressive mileage. 29.4 on the way down and 31.2 on the way back.

I don't think I ever saw it do this well.

ajs · 05-12-2011, 10:15 PM

I installed an MRT 2.0 a couple of weeks ago and noticed a 2.5 mpg improvement to 29.5
If I keep my foot out of it. It's tough, though, because it sounds so good. My commute is 80% freeway.

Your lucky on the 80% freeway because "the my foot out of it" is IMPOSSIBLE in city. I have had to go back to a/c in FL and it is killing me.

AdamChoudhry · 05-14-2011, 12:39 AM

As an everyday driver about 60% highway 40% city 21mpg but on a trip to Virginia I averaged 30.5 mpg 560 miles on 1 tank

ganzo · 05-14-2011, 03:00 AM

i drive about 90 miles daily and im averaging 27.8 mpg on 93 octane

AngeloVEnforcer · 05-15-2011, 12:08 PM

On the city this car isn't so good, but on the highway if you stay below 70 youll get close to 28.

I have seen better than 30 mpg and as much as 33 when traveling 70 mph on the highway.
