I have had my car since last summer, a little over 5000 miles on it now. I have 100% city driving. My first few tanks were around the 22-23mpg. but it has been increasing ever since. I think for 2 reasons, because of the engine breaking in and me getting better with my 5 speed. I think my last tank was a record with 27.95 mpg! The rattles and squeaks get on my nerves and the airconditioner is weak but at least the gas mileage has been a pleasant surprise!

The same route I drive my Scion TC, I drove my Honda Civic EX which is rated around 32 in the city. I got about 30mpg with the Civic compared to 27-28 with my Scion TC.

 

My first tank was 22mpg and my second was 26.5mpg. Now on tank three!

 

i wish mines did that. i still get low 22s. and gas prices are increasing, just my luck

 

on my second tank about to fill up today... i got 24 mpg on first tank

 

maybe its the winter additive crap that they aren't putting in anymore.

 

I get between 25-30 depending on the type of driving.

yup... i'm still in that range too. 22-24. wow...
wow=look on my face everytime i see gas prices when i fill up.

 

I'm still averaging around 24mpg. This is my third week with the car. I'll be on my 3rd tank soon!

 

That's only because you're beautiful .

Seriously though, I have gotten better gas mileage since my car hit 10k miles. I'm getting 25-28 all highway driving at about 80 mph avg.

 

im beautiful i dont get 24mpg...

 

LOL

 

tell me about it gas price here in CA is not 2.99 for 87 and 3.14 for 89!

 

how can u tell she's beautiful!?! half her face is covered! (Feel free to post an uncovered pic)

 

28

 

Who cares about gas mileage. If you love your car and love to drive, just put good gas in the damn thing!!! You will always need gas, so just fill up when you're low!!!

 

gas is 2.44 where Im at (Oxnard) gas prices suck

 

i've been getting between 26 and 28 mpg here in michigan.. it's been increasing since it's getting warmer finally and the car doesn't have to raise the cold idle to warm up the engine (which wastes fuel).. price here for 89 i paid the other day $2.53.. so we're as expensive as you out in oxnard..

hey high prices? talk to that oil man in the white house.. gee i wonder why he won't release oil from the strategic oil reserve.. keeps prices high, that's why.. and iraqi oil is still not released onto the market either (which would drive prices down instantly).. these prices will keep going up..

 

i used to only get around 280 miles on a full tank, but its been steadily increasing. I now get at least 300 and my last tank went up to 321!

 

^ agreed, the only way to go is up...sad to think of that, but it's true. If toyota motor company was smart they would offer a hybrid for all toyota vehicles, including the scion line, us "youth" want to save money on gas not just financing the car... lol

 

I am still curious as to what the last four digits of peoples VIN is with these issues.... mine has absolutely no issues, ice cold air, perfect heat... and other than a squeaky radio cover for the first month i had it, no rattles or noises. I even started a post called "Issue Tracking" to get a list of peoples issues and last 5 digits of VIN to try and correlate the manufacture number with the issues..... even offered to keep a spreadsheet for everyone so we could figure out when these cars were produced.... but no-one was interested I guess.... This would be a great tool to point out to scion that they had a bad production run or two, and would possibly speed up the TSB creation process.... but oh well...... mine is ok Oh yeah.... I get 20 - 23 city and 29-30 hwy... have since i bought it 10,000 miles ago
