I know there been alot of talking about mpg and everything is almost base of the city that you live in. well I live in L.A. county and I'm getting 17mpg!!!! is that normal for this area?? If you live in LA area what is your mpg??

 

no that's not normal. are you figuring it out right? I get 24-26mpg in the LA area when i'm stuck in traffic all day both ways to work. The only way i see this happening is if you constantly smash on the gas and race every where. If that's not the case, i would get the car checked out by the dealer

 

24-26mpg in bad traffic and city driving. . .

About 28-32mpg highway

 

yeah i did it right the last time i filled up my tank i put my trip meter at 0 then today i fill up again and it took 10.25 gallons to fill and trip metter only had 175 miles. what should i say if i take it to the dealership?? that is my mpg is low?? also the paper in the window when i bought it said 16 - 23 city but i see everybody gets more that me. i drive normal I don't speed or race

 

that's wierd because the paper on mine when i bought mine said 23-25mpg in the city

 

i was told my xA can get 31 in the city and 38 on the freeways, so far i'm only getting 28-29 regardless if i drive in city or freeway. i checked with a mechanic friend and he said what is advertise is the mpg in a controlled environment. read the little fine print, it is spelled our but unfortunately nobody ever reads it. Whatever mpg is advertised, take anywhere from 2-5 mpg off that number and that's the real mpg.

 

I noticed my MPG has been dropping. In the beginning of the year i would average 32.5 mpg. Then it's slowly dropping to 27-28 mpg. I just filled up yesterday and i averaged 28 mpg. I have 70k miles on my box now.

 

I've gotten 313 on all highway driving. light came on to add gas. city driving I would say 23. but I speed all the time and rev :/

 

313 is amazing, especially for a tC. I cant even make it to 300 with my xB.

 

the light came on.I was afraid I was going to stall the car and I was stall it.

 

thats low for highway driving, i got 410 highway i made it from here to sacramento in one gas tank

but on the street i get bad gas mileage compared to some other tcs

 

Total miles can be misleading. . . as we all fill up at different intervals. . . and then there is also the variation in fuel quality that should be taken into account.

PLUS: an xB has a MUCH MUCH smaller tank than a tC. When it comes down to the meat of it, the xB will get better MPG, but because the tank is smaller it will limit your range and increase the frequency of fill up.

I'm surprised that so many people quote their total miles per tank. . . it's not a very useful number. I mean, if you bother to keep track of how many miles you travel per tank, why not calculate mpg? Just divide that mileage by however gallons it takes to fill up (it will show on the pump or the receipt). It's a MUCH better and more reliable way to keep track of your fuel economy.

 

Oh yeah, your right. I forgot we are going cross borders.

I only get about 25-28 mpg with mostly freeway driving and I avoid traffic as much as I can.

 

oh and I have a manual. I guess that helps

 

I average about 24-26 mpg. I have a Heavy foot though. I track it every tank since i got my xB. I have never seen 30mpg. But of course i've never babied it to try and get better mileage.

 

its hard to get good gas mileage if you work and get off during rush hour.

i only avg 23 and sometime high 24

 

I notice my mpg seems to drop right before i need an oil change.

 

it will also depend on if you have a manual or auto and what kind of driving goes along with those. a lot of people with autos step on gas to get it going while with an manual people tend to feather it and be a little easier unless they think they are a speed racing over rev. just need to look at the driving style and adjust accordingly
