kizashi mpg

Based on my personal tests and calculations, I ran my first tank in AWD and got about 22.5 MPG, the second tank in FWD got about 22.8 MPG - both a mix of Highway and City, using 87 Octane. the on board MPG calculator was fairly close to these both times.

I am currently getting 23.4 in AWD with CVT on a mixed route. It tended to be around 22 in the winter.

I'm in about the same range with pretty much all city driving. Looking, any update on your mileage?

I'm getting 27mpg in a mix 50/50 driving with AWD off

I am on my second tank now...

1st tank from the dealer = 20.5 mostly city driving it is an SE CVT AWD (AWD off). My computer readout was right around 19.9 or so?

2nd tank I am only halfway through, but there is more hwy miles on this tank. I will report back.

I am really hoping to get better than 20-21mpg. I was getting 19.5 in my V6 Ford 500 and my driving habits are about the same so far.

I get 26 town/country. Got 31-32 highway on 2000 mile trip with both regular and ethanol blend (some place could not find gas without).

Now if I believe the on board computer I am getting 38+mpg while in 6th gear on flat freeway traveling about 70mph for over a 20 mile distance. My first real tank of gas (reset the average mpg before I pulled out) I got 34.7mpg on the computer and after filling the tank, about 10.5 gallons, I calculated it to be about 33mpg real world. I drove 80% freeway over a 6 day period. Not bad, but I have to admit I was intentionally driving to get the highest mpg on the readout. I rarely made it over 4000rpms.

On a side note my miles until empty seems to be really conservative. 2 times now it has listed me at less than 50 miles remaining and yet when I fill up it only takes less than 11 gallons. Knowing we have a 16+ gallon tank I would guess I should have more than 50 miles left on the remaining 5 gallons. Just sayin...

@ KizzyOHIO I like what you have done with the front end of your car... It looks a lot more like the concept.

Jimmerz:
Keep in mind that it takes a few thousand miles before you car starts to break in. If you are only on your second tank of gas I wouldn't worry about anything. The SX4 did the same thing.

Thanks! When I saw the frontend close up and the pre-existing indentions for the blacked out grill I knew I had to buy it and paint it.

"If you paint it, they will come..."

I've been very close to E a few times and never put in more than 12 gallons.
