I went away this weekend and filled up before I left with 91. I just got back from my trip that was mostly highway driving but I did hit a ton of traffic on the way home. I went a little over 350miles and I am between a quarter tank and a half tank!! I just replaced the ECU so my car is no longer chipped, but I'm so happy with the mpg my car is getting. I will not be chipping it or doing any other performance things.. anyone else getting close to this? I'm pretty sure my tank holds like 16gals right?and if I make it to 500miles I'll be over 30mpg

 

Yeah I have two ECUs and I plan on putting the stock one in for my upcoming road trip. I'm not quite to the point where I don't want to be chipped though... I have been driving a company van with a Shell gas card during the week though.

 

I always heard u got better gas mileage chipped just as long as u didnt drive hard (but very few people do cause its more fun to drive) so i was thinking of getting chipped but i guess you guys have done better without a chip so i might hold off or have them put stock and nonstock programs on the chip...

 

That's nothing! Ask CLX.

 

You know that could be true.
It's way too tempting to put the pedal down chipped.
Well since I'm going to do a trip anyway I'll do my first tank chipped and second not and see what I get.

 

and the winner is ...............








































stayed tuned till promaine comes back lol

 

I'm chipped and average 24 mpg combined consistently. I drove from Bridgeport, CT to Easton, MD and back, making some tourist cruising in Baltimore on the way back. I averaged 29.0 mpg combined through my weekend trip. The car was loaded with 3 people (including me), 3 days of clothes and crap for all three people, laptops, cameras, my guitar, and a small amplifier. I cruise b/w 65-70 mph and have the joy of driving I-95 through Jersey and NYC, which consists of a lot of traffic, quick down-shifts, and friggen tolls. I can't complain. It might have been better if I didn't race out of every toll booth.

 

25 in town.

 

i was reading the older MPG post on here a while back before i got my car.. first tank of 91/octane i went 355 miles on mostly a full tank.. it was a little above E when i refilled it, and did the math and its about 23mpg.. i live on the top of a mountain and the city is at the bottom.. and this was all city driving so.. didnt do too shabby right?

 

In my 2.8 i just filled up with 87 and was driving highway. Got 450MPtank.
