I feel lucky. When I bought my FX35 a few days ago the drive home was about 170 miles and I think I averaged about 23mpg

Another tip is to put the FX in neutral down hills! Sounds crazy but on my trip from San Diego to Chicago around the Denver/Utah area I got 24.x mpg for a tank (this was up and down hills). Averaged 70-80 mph I think.

I have large feet and my right foot is much bigger and heavier than my left!

Think I might have to find an inexpensive K&N because the city driving in Chicago is giving me about 12-14 mpg.

Sliding around in neutral in an auto transmission is bad for the tranny?

 

[FXchris305]

would your spark plugs going bad lower your mpg?

Agreed. I would never do that nor evn think to do such

Something must be wrong with my 45 then...might need a driver mod.

Shell 93...
Max I've ever seen 338 miles for a full tank and that was pulling into the gas station on fumes at that point as I went over 21 gallons.

Lowest is 14.0mpg.
Currently around 16.5mpg. About 70% highway driving. This was also on RP 5W30 in hot Houston. RP is currently not available so I switched to M1 5W30, wanted to try M1 TDT, but will probably go with something else.

Ok 1st tank of gas after oil/oil filter and air filter change with Shell 93 and 85% highway....

15.7mpg

Damn that's not good at all lol.

 

[sirtrojan]

15 MPG = 15,5l/100h
city traffic only

thats kind of what i get. i drive mostly freeway and the best i got so far is 17 mpg. when the car is having a bad day, i get about 14 to 15 mpg. :eek.:

 

[trainerKEN]

mine shows average 14.5 (+/- .2).

when I was getting my TechnoSquare reflash, Tadashi gave me choice, he asked me if I wanted some extra power and at the same time better fuel economy? OR a LOT more power but my mpg WILL suffer...


...wanna guess which one I picked?

 

[aiya]

...wanna guess which one I picked?

hahaha! The same one I will choose. Sorry Earth...
