I know that the posted gas mileage is not what I will actually get, but Im really not getting good mileage. Does the exhaust on the RS 2 effect the gas mileage it gets

 

iono mayb...but its proly just u revvin 2 high...LOL

 

Ive tried different methods of driving, including keeping it below 3k RPM's.

 

What are you getting? I drive pretty hard and I've been getting between 32 and 34 mpg. Beats the hell out of the Ram pickup I had at 11mpg.

 

hmm...strange... ask tha dealership

 

Idrive mine pretty hard but only get 28 29 drove it easy got 30 somethings up.. but like he said... i traded a dodge 4 door that got 12 at the most..

 

I got 32-34 mpg, auto. I traded 4.7 Dakota Quad 4X4 for this

 

wait untill you get some mileage. youll see in improve. also keep your right foot on the light side.

 

I have been getting 34-35 mpg on my new R2.0?? Auto, stock, no CAI, 15" tires.

I have 2150 miles on the box. I have been very pleased. I use it to commute a little over 100 miles a day. I cros the Blue Ridge mt daily, and that keeping at 60 or so revs to 4K.

#1263

 

I've only checked one tank carefully, and got 33.6. About 50 to 60% highway, not driving to aggressively (I was still in the engine break in period).

RS 2.0 with no mods yet.

 

I have almost 15,000 miles on mine and mpg gets better evry day

 

Give it a few more hundred miles. It might geet better. I had started another thread on this and logged my mileage.

It jumped around like crazy. My most recent try 180 I got 35mpg. My worst was 21.

I've found head wind will kick your butt.

 

Time to break out the welder

 

I have just a tad over 3000 miles on my box and as of today I am averaging 35.092 miles/gallon in my box. I have filled my tank up 9 times so far. Here is the mileage on each tank.

1st tank - 31.390 miles/gal
2nd tank - 36.459 miles/gal
3rd tank - 37.0889 miles/gal
4th tank - 35.784 miles/gal
5th tank - 34.997 miles/gal
6th tank - 35.194 miles/gal
7th tank - 35.443 miles/gal
8th tank - 36.396 miles/gal
9th tank - 33.079 miles/gal (Mileage drop is due to running the AC most of the time considering the temp has been between 105 & 110 here in the Phoenix Valley)

I do about 50/50 freeway and city driving. I don't drive the box hard all the time. I usually try to shift between 3000 and 3500 RPM. I know that mileage is affected the way that we drive. If I were to drive it like a racecar all the time I know I wouldn't be getting the mileage that I am getting. I love just cruisin the box and the mileage that I have been getting with it.

 

Did he say Head Wind? That's what the Tilt Wheel option is for!

 

 

yeah wait for more mileage. When my car was new, i averaged 25-26. I have 8000 miles now and I average 28-29 consistently. Same driving style.

 

are you riding stock? big 18s + lead foot = ____ poor mileage (potentially)

with the stock steelies i'm running 31~35 mpg with 2k miles

 

I should mention that I have stock steelies on mine...

 

yeah i thought the same thing - when i first got my car i was getting about 25-26 mpg but now that it has 1200 miles i get about 27-28 mpg hopefully it will get even better - my 95 jeep xj was getting 11-13 mpg and yet i still miss my jeep
