I get 6.7mpg....I WIN!! I was actually surprised that I did that good, but my buddies in an STi and an M3 get around 9 if I remember correctly.

I get horrible mileage compared to everyone here, like a little over 200 per tank of 91.. It doesn't feel like I'm that bad at driving efficiently but I guess I'm hooning too much.

I get about 275 to 300 miles a tank. I drive 30-40 miles a day to various work locations and fill up about every week or so.

Talk about slaying the Dragon and gas mileage. I've used a quarter tank on an out and back down the Dragon from Deals Gap. lol Seems driving in 3rd gear for 11 miles at 5000 rpms will cause the gas needle to visible move.

How often do you fill up?

The time I came close to a 400 mile tank was all highway driving with a very light foot. Shifting around 2500 RPM's, not letting the turbo spool, and doing some coasting when downhills permitted.

Every day, sometimes twice a day. I average between 25 & 30 mpg mostly highway. Average speed is usually 75-90, I try to fill up at a half tank usually get 190-215 miles out of the first half. I've only ran it to empty a few time and got 320-350 from the full tank.

Wth, I get 240-260 on stratified tune, 93 pump gas, & when it's below freezing I do let car warm up for 1-2mins max before I take off, 70% city 30% highway but its not stop and go traffic. Not sure why it so shotty, avg per take is like 22 mpg

I drive like a Grandma. Plus I have a very easy commute to school and work as well. With only living 1 mile from the highway, so I just get on and go. Average speed on highway is 70. I don't believe it is accurate, but my computer says I average 28 in my travels.

I get 150 miles per tank right now. Running straight E85 and a heavy foot is not bueno, But at least it gets me to work fast so its OK.

I get anywhere from 250 to 330. Started freek tune I didn't notice a huge difference in mileage. I let my car warm up in the winter too. I have to fill up every 2 to 3 days. 60 mile round trip to school and then another 40-100 depending on where i go snowboarding, on top of all the other driving I do.

Skierdood

12-10-2013 10:29 AM

Yeah in winter I fill up more too due to driving to ski areas. It's usually about 300 miles round trip from here to north central VT so that can kill most of a tank in a day.

I have a long commute right now - about 250 miles, round trip. Been getting 350+ miles per tank and almost 31 mpg droning down the slab.

thats impressive.

My car says i do 26.x mpg. its really like 22-24.

Mines a Gen Juan sport so no mpg computer, but my AP reads high for milage too. On a recent long trip I nearly shat myself when it said I averaged 34mpg. Actual milage was closer to 29-30.

I fill up 2-3 times a week. Mostly because I rarely get close top topped off due to trying to maintain a 50/50 corn mix.

Probably get around 180-220mi/tank, maybe? Never really paid enough attention to have accurate numbers. I've got a heavy foot and a lot of traffic in daily use.

Mine used to say that, now it's reset every fill up but it's usually 3 mpg lower than the average displayed.

I usually average around 250 a tank, but I fill up when I'm at 1/4 tank. My commute is like 5-6 miles, no highway.

How is your speed 35 miles per gallon? This makes no sense to me.

I've been getting between 300 and 330 miles per tank. I fill up every 4-5 days. I drive a minimum of 60 miles a day for my commute to and from work. This car gets sucky ass milage. LOL. It's actually worse than my WRX. I didn't buy the car for better MPG but was kinda hoping it would get a little better than the WRX, not worse.

A 6.2L C6 vette with a manual is rated at 16/26 while our cars are rated at 18/25

I hate looking at those kinds of comparisons because I like the MS3 but fuck it's mileage, it's absolutely horrible for a 4 banger. You have 400+ hp cars making similar fuel mileage.

12-13-2013 10:11 AM

Stay out of boost, get to 6th and cruise at 45mph. Keep it around 70mph or under on the highway and you should see upper 20s to about 30mpg if you are fairly unmodded. But what's the fun in that?

The MS3 WILL easily exceed what a C6 can do, but you have to be willing to tune it and drive it properly. This is especially true for the GenPu, as it has somewhat longer gearing than the GenWon/MS6.

Haha nice. You know what I mean. Get into 6th at as low a speed as possible without lugging the engine.

It's easy to get over 30mpg on an MS6 if you know what you're doing, and you don't have to sacrifice performance either.

Ahh forgot about the skip shift feature, that is annoying.

Like I said I'm happy with the performance but even stock it had bad mileage. Now I'm almost fully bolted and I don't get into full boost daily sometimes rarely weekly. Blame that on my typical commute and the traffic around here.

I start getting jealous from all the 350-400 highway guys, then realize highway driving in Miami is like driving in an endless school zone
