    Default Gas Prices! MPG ???

    since the gas prices have gone up so high, i am now watching the MPG very carefully. was just wondering what kind of gas mileage are you guys getting out there??? mine is getting 21MPG. i don't think that is very good!

    18.2 for me, using regular 87 @ 2.99/gal today.

    These are luxury sport sedans, they're not supposed to get stellar gas mileage.


    best, whit

    On my way down to monterey, CA....about 120 miles from San Francisco, going ~65-70mph down hwy 1...I got ~30mpg. On any usual day/week, I will get about 19-21 mpg combined freeway/hwy.

    Of course, hwy 1 looks like this...

    12.5 litres per 100 ks thats about 21 mpg (us) mostly dual lane but traffic lights and also hills...the hills kill it i can quite easily hover around 10 l 100 ks even traffic lights only push into mid tens or low elevens,but the hills push it out to 12.5.......thats by the obc which isnt quite right according to mileage covered and ammount filled.....102 dollars the other day,$1 52 per litre for 91 ron

    Around the same price here in UK Kai. About double the US prices.

    Last time I mentioned this somebody went on about US being taxed elsewhere income tax etc...

    erm do you think we dont get taxed senseless everywhere else as well??
