BillM Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I rented a Pontiac G6 V6 when I was down in Florida... Horrible gas mileage even with me being very easy on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I agree that driving style has a huge impact on milage. As for me, I love feeling that great little engine come on the cam around 3500 rpm, that's why I got the five speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 A co-worker of mine has recently bought a 2003 Toyota Echo. Claims to be getting mid to high 40's to the gallon. Last tank was 48mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepps Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) I've got a 2003 Honda Civic, 4 door, 5 speed - that site says I get 31 city, 39 hwy but I dont kwno how accurate that really is. I can probably get about 450km a tank in the city, and maybe 600km highway if im lucky. Edited April 22, 2008 by mepps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dartee Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have a 2005 Civic 4dr 5spd. The last 2 times I checked the milage I'm getting 39-42 MPG (hwy)but only if I stay between 100- 110 km/hr . If I'm pushing 120km/hr the milage drops considerably (in the low 30 range). 95% of my driving is hwy so I can't say for sure on the city .

Stoty Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 97 GM sonoma pick-up 4 banger with a 5 speed.around 60 bucks to fill up at $1.20 I get about 750kms on the highway. Dang must be nice! I have a 99 Chevy Xtreme, 4.3 L, V6 and costs the same to fill it, but I MIGHT get 525km per tank. I didnt think the difference between a V4 and V6 would be that much!! The V6 handles my boat without any issues though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfville Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 A nice fuel consumption converter from anything to anything else 2000 Honda Civic (4 cyl, 1.6L), 99% city, about 11.5L/100KM winter and 9L/100KM summer. 90% of less than 10km trips. 1993 Honda Del Sol (4 cyl, 1.5L), 99% city, about 9L/100KM winter, 7L/100KM summer, 90% of less than 10km trips.

mikeymikey Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 07 toyota yaris 5spd 900kms per tank or around 49-52 mpg. How did you test this? have you ran the car till gas totally ran out or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Some of the mileage measurements above have me questioning how everyone is calculating it.... it has to be done consistently and over a large amount of mileage to be accurate... I drive about 75% HWY / 25% city and with my present and past rides here is how it looks: 2001 Buick Century, over 380,000Km, 8.8 L/100Km (26.7 MPG)... 2004 Buick LeSabre, so far over 180,000Km, 9.8 L/100Km (24 MPG)...

JohnF Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I wonder if I could squeeze that Duramax into a Civic! LOL Yup. If you didn't care about taking any passengers and didn't mind the heat. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 My 1997 Tercel 2dr 5spd 1.5L 4cyl gets 7L/100km Hwy & 8.5L/100km City. It'll haul a boat for one, or... enough for three. So you don't travel on windy days??????? JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) When it's windy I take the Lexus. It's a 1994 GS300 3.0L inline 6cyl auto and gets 14L/100km hwy even after 234,000km. Edited April 23, 2008 by jediangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I haven't got a clue what mileage I get. When it's empty, I buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natemr2 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 How did you test this? have you ran the car till gas totally ran out or something? Fill up car, set trip meter to 0, run car until low fuel light comes on, read trip meter, fill up car again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Or, fill er up, reset tripmeter, drive to 400km. Then divide the number of Liters it takes to fill er up again by 4. Then you'll have your L/100km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymikey Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 900Km is impressive. That is like diesel level. Near double of what I get with Civic Sedan. Like I explain in my post, I drive until Low Fuel Light comes on... and fill up which is exact 40L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 07 toyota yaris 5spd 900kms per tank or around 49-52 mpg. You must be doing all hwy km's. Great numbers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natemr2 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 The car goes about 120km round trip to work, unfortunatly all the kids and dog don't fit in it, so the durango is driven more often, The durango gets about 10mpg in town and around 20-23 mpg on the hwy, the funny thing is even when towing the boat I still get about the same milage in the durango.

lazybum Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hmmm, mpg? What's that? I haven't come across a gas station in Canada so far that can tell me how many gallons I bought. And all of our cars and trucks track distance in kilometres. Wow, it's amazing how many people still think in imperial measurements after 30 years. My math is bad so I stick to litres and kilometres. And I get totally confused when the prices in the US are per gallon and their US gallon is different from the old canadian imperial gallon. My 98 Civic = 10 litres per 100km in the city.

BillM Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 To make all the metric people happy 4.28 litres per 100km on the highway. (Average) 4.15 litres per 100km on the highway. (Best tank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
