Gas Mileage on the xB
Driving to and from work, 25 mph to 60 mph, I get usually 30 mpg.
On my recent trip to the mountains, 75 mph, I got a little better 32 mpg, I was surprised at how well the "Short Bus" did in the moutains.

I have only filled up a couple time's the box is still pretty new.I drive about 75 mile's rountrip to work and back 10% city 90% highway.First tank 31.6 Second tank 31.3 not to bad I think once motor gets broken in mileage should improve somemore.The Box rock's.

I got 29.88, 30.30 and 30.50 MPG on my 3 last tanks. I have a automatic with cold air induction. Hopefully, the mileage will just keep getting better as it breaks in. I'm pretty happy with what I've been getting though. I drive 40 miles each way to work, most of it highway (but then there's always traffic to slow things up anyway).
I've been able to check the last three tanks as well, 36-24-36 :D
actually it's been 29.3, 29.7 and 32.1, my commute is about 22 miles one way 75% highway driving. I just went over 1600 miles this AM.

I drive 112 miles a day in stop and go traffic all the way up to 80 mph highway runs (then right back down to 10 mph) I havent had my box long enough to estimate but It takes just a hair over a quarter tank. so thats about 3 gallons of gas so like 35 miles to the gallon. Definately a step up from my wrangler......love my box.
This is freakin ridiculous.
I'm lucky if I get 200 miles on a tank.
WTF is wrong with my car?
I've tried driving a whole tank while keeping the engine from revving higher than 3000 rpm (yes.....a whole tank............it was painfully slow.......I felt like a damn granny all the time). The BEST gas mileage I got from doing that was 24. My normal mileage is 20-21.

What the hell? This is an old topic and last time I read those threads very very few folks were getting 30+... in fact most of us were complaining.
I have 2500 miles on my box and if i drive it like a soup kitchen christian i can squeek out 28 maybe 29..... Now I drive it like a orange go cart bad-outta hell and avg about 26-27.
Are you 30+ folks completely stock or what???? I am all stock MT RS1... except for 17' wheels... but my engine rpms run same as stock 4K @ 80MPH. Frustrating!
I hope I see a little bit improvement with new exhaust and CIA.

Just made a run up to Kansas City from Ft. Worth in the manual box. 550 miles @ 3000 RPM/60MPH = 38.3 MPG. Prevailing winds out of the south, pushing all the way. Coming back against the wind: 3600 to 3800 RPM/70 to 75 MPH = 28.75 MPG
