What kind of driving? Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Tue, 15 Mar 2011 06:34:23 In Reply to: 20 MPG or less, Christian C, Mon, 14 Mar 2011 11:16:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
City? Highway? Stop & Go? How many miles average trip? Be honest with yourself. If it's 15 miles uphill in the city with stoplights every block until you get to the highway, then 20 miles on the highway, then off again, that's not really "mostly highway miles"...
My 9-5s really don't like short trips & driving slow. The 1999 LPT was good for 27-32 all day long on the highway, but low 20s on short trips around town. Same for the 2000 V6 I'm driving now. Highway is 24-27, but around town, it can get as low as 18, sometimes lower!
