I expect better as the miles increase (1000 right now). My old car was a 1994, 4 cylinder Honda Accord and I got 20 mpg on the same weekly drive.

roblectric Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 08 Ltd. AWD Computer says 18. Actual 16. Average daily commute 10 miles in town, round trip. It barely has a chance to warm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerguy Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 My '09 FWD with 1,100 miles has been averaging 21.1 according to the computer (mostly driving short trips around town under 3 miles at a time). Today I filled up, drove an 89 mile round trip with cruise set on 60MPH. Computer showed 27.1 so I filled back up to double check manually and came up with 26.7 I am light on the pedal, and let off earlier than most drivers when coming to stops.

awagner Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) I just took delivery of an 09 AWD Sport with the heavy 22" wheels and I can't get above an average of 14.6mpg. I have a K&N air filter on the way and am thinking about a Magnaflow exhaust upgrade to get it breathing easier. I had a 08 Escape V6 4WD and went from 16mpg to almost 19mpg with breakin and a K&N air filter. The stock paper filter material is very restrictive and does cause reduced gas mileage and at this rate I'll take any gain I can get.

hydro Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 800 miles average 70% hwy/ 30% stop and go, hand calculated- 17.5mpg lie-o-meter reads - 18.5mpg The computers are always off for me. My 2008 F-250 diesel would read about 1 mpg off also. I just installed a drop-in K&N (I don't expect anything from it), Magnaflow cat back seems back ordered and my SCT programmer will be here next week. We'll see what happens then?

johnsix54 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 2008 Limited AWD........15,500 miles10.4 City 11.2 Highway I am very impressed with these numbers. I was expecting around 9's for city :D WOW, that is totally abysmal! :blink: How in the world do you get that terrible gas mileage? I used to get that with my '79 HighBoy 400 C.I. V8, 4wd with 35" mud tires and 410 ring/pinions fully loaded. My 08 AWD Limited Edge gets 19.5 worst case, and best so far with no trips over 20 miles is 22.5. These are calculated values not computer averages (although my computer is pretty close, give or take a mpg). Do you live in NY or LA in bumper to bumper gridlock all day? :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
