28-31.5mpg....thats what i get on 18's.....5spd.....mainly driving up and down highway 5 at 80mph constant.....i think the mileage varies depending on if i have a head wind or not.....

 

29-32, 91 octane, and 80% freeway 20% city. People just stop flooring it off the line. I know that first gear wants it and the second calls for it but chill. Also when ever I use ____ gas my milage slips low, its only 10 cents more (1 dollar a tank) a gallon and your car will like it a bit more. Atleast thats what I have found. These arent race cars they are cruisers.

If I fill up at the warning light, I get 250 miles until the light comes on again. Doesn't seem that great to me mileage wise. I have noticed that the rpm's are at 4000 when I hit the upper 70's m.p.h. Is this normal?

 

I see about 29-30 with a mix of stop and go city driving and highway driving.

 

with 600 miles on my xB, I see 30 mpgs city driving and 34 mpgs freeway (70 mph). Hm. Have seen similar numbers some where, could it be on the window sticker...

 

it's all in how you break in the car

for the first 1-2 thousand miles you are supposed to vary the speed (never stay at a constant speed) and do not hard accelerate (this is the hard part). on my last camry i averaged more than the sticker claimed.

 

im only gettin 205 on a full tank i got around 6800 miles on the car

 

Manual or Auto?? My Auto is at 3000 RPM at 70mph on stock tires. If you have an auto ck to make sure your O/D switch is on not off.

 

I got 30-31 this past week......I am happy! Should be even better with all highway.

with the manifold back system I get about 26-28 But I think my sparkplugs are bad already so i am going to get the iriduim plugs and hopefully my milage goes back up.

 

The plugs are already iridium, don't need changing for 90k miles.

 

 

u guys should pay attention when u buy cars.
if ur goin over the posted speed limit(55/60mph) your gas mileage will not be wut u think it is. it will be around 25/27mpg. if its ne thing LESS than that, see ur dealer. cuz that just ain't rite....

 

i drive mostly city stop and go... maybe 10% freeway... and im still ranging from 27-30 mpg... usually right around 30

 

i wouldnt complain about 25mpg...i went from a 03 dodge ramn 1500 quad cab that got 12mpg drivin like a grandma...to my xB...im not gonna complain if its not the adv. 30mpg

 

I go32 mpg going up to yosemite last weekend on my hot lava . I think I will get 35 mpg on the freeway .

 

I'm getting a consistant 35 to 39 mpg in my xB. But then again i also drive 90% freeway. I've managed to put on 1200 miles in the first 2 weeks.

 

Mileage was disappointing for first 2K on a Xa with auto...first few hundred miles it was under 22mpg! Has increased since to now over 32-34mpg freeway stop and go and over 75mph. Get 310-330 miles on a 10-11gal tank. Be sure to figure in the change that you make in large wheel/tire combo's compensate for the speedo being off! I checked mine with a GPS and it is running 3% off from true GPS speed.

:D

 

I'm getting about 30 mpg with a manual (is there any other transmission?) when I shift at 4k. Does shifting at a higher rpm help save the engine, or have I been poorly informed? All things considered, I love my Scion being a poor college student and all.

 

if you read the manual for the car ..

it says that you should be in 5th gear at 45mph .. -_-

This is off the top of my head, but check out ur manual, it should say something like this...

1st gear = 10mph
2nd gear = 25 mph
3rd gear = 35 mph
4th gear = 45 mph

something along those lines .. and i have to admit ... I'm still in 3rd gear around 40 mph most of the time.
