    Mpg

    This last tankfull I drove like an old lady on a Sunday drive. Easy acceleration and rarely going over 50mph. All city driving I got 18mpg. My car is stock accept I have the airaid CAI (Zoomers going in Friday). I am happy with the mpg. I'm currious to see how much more the Zoomers will give. I tell you what it was very hard to lay off the accelerator and now with the Zoomers installed it will be extremely hard to lay off the Hammer! You know what... screw it, I'm layin' on it!

    Do you feel lucky... PUNK

    DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!

    Seriously though, i think your getting really good gas mileage. I get about 13-14 city driving with mine, of course i always drive the same, semi-heavy foot (not gunning it off the line EVERY time, but certenly leaving it in a gear longer, usually 3k shifts, right when the car sounds good). GJ on the 18 miles per gallon, i could only dream of such good gas mileage.

    Damn dude, I get almost 20 MPG in town after the Zoomers. And I drive it hard quite a bit. Talk to your dealer about it.

    It's going in on Monday for the mpg issue, trans not downshifting sometimes, clunk...still..in the rear when you accelerate from a stop. I love this car but seriously all of the problems and having to put up with dealer bs all of the time makes me wish I never bought it sometimes.

    Sometimes the dealers scare me.. I feels sometimes there looking for the easy fix and don't care about the customer.. Sorry just venting since I'm in search of a good dealer service center in my area that will go the mile (not even talking the extra mile).

    Just recently filled my tank and took it easy with the acceleration, jackrabbit starts, etc. Ended up getting 458 miles to my 18 gallon tank (SXT), which equates to 25.4 MPG and with gas going up > $3.00 a gallon at the time, that was good news :grin:

    I am only getting about 14 miles a gallon as well on my SXT, but I thought this was because I like to leave other cars behind my at intersections and because I only just broke 3000 miles.

    I has been that way since the day I got her and I figured it would improve with time. When do you think should I really start to worry?

    Thanks.

    Is that local driving?? If so, that is unbelievable gas mileage. What is your tire pressure set at? And what is your maximum mph that you set it too? Thanks! Only reason I'm asking is that if I get 300 miles per tank it's a lot. I have about 3800 miles on her.

    Thanks
