I have a manual xA, commute in Boston everyday, and I get 37-38 mpg!!!

 

how are you all measuring mpg? ive learned with my civic that the gas gauge is anything but that. ill be driving along with half a tank and a few minutes later ill be closer to 3/4 tank... but wait... i didnt stop for gas :p

best way to measure gas mileage down to the decimal is reset the trip meter after filling up all the way. next time you visit the gas station... take note of your mileage and how much it takes to fill up... thats how much gas youve used! :o
from there on its just math.

forgive me if you already know this but some people need it spelled out... and thats okay ;)

 

thats what most of us have been doing.....we are not stupid...just wondering why so much diffrance i was getting 37.5 for the first 2 fill up now it has dropped..for no reason

 

The anime discussion has been split to the Off Topic Cafe. See you there!

 

I still get the 30ish mpg...

 

vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomm ....


my bicycle gets great gas milage.

sometimes i can hit 35mph going down hills.

 

A little late, but... LOL, I likw your logic Miko. I hope I have a Wednesday car too! :twisted:

Ohh yeah... I just got my xA. It`s manual, so I`ll do some testing. That is if I remember to pay attention... I`m curious to see if manual gets better mileage rather than automatic. I know sometimes they do.

:D

 

I'm now getting about 34 average.

I would judge that 80% of my driving is highway vs city.

I'm still trying to get my shifting smoother though, I still feel a jump when I shift gears.

Does anyone know if the Grounding Kits would help in MPG?

 

ahahahahahh

 

These are the results from my last two fillups on my 04 Xa (Manual)

6/27
Miles: 216.6
Gallons used: 8.157
MPG: 26.55

6/28
Miles: 194.5
Gallons used: 6.832
MPG: 28.47

I drive quite a lot and sometimes between the 90 -115 mph range (mostly freeway) so I guess thats why mine are under 30

 

how many miles is everyone going on one tank of gas i got 320 is that average or did i get a bum car?

 

Im getting on our 05'XA only 210miles on a full tank of gas.on our 02' jetta we use to get 295miles per full tank of gas. same driving habits same route i take to work and back home......................................

 

consumer reports's xA data suggest that it has an excellent 32 mpg overall and 39 mpg on a 150 mile road trip. i guess xA should be a pretty good gas saver.
