Quick question on gas milage

[bentothejam1n]

the gas itself makes a huge difference.. my car gets from 27-47mpg depending on the fuel... 47mpg with 93 octane from tenessee (no additives, no smog crap, no ethanol) and 27mpg with 91 octane from Iowa (ethanol crap)..

hah what kind of car do you drive?

the 20-25 i get on my wrx with 93 octane is all i can muster.

Really? I get about 28mpg on my Outback Sport burning regular. Do you drive really aggressively or something? Just don't mash the gas pedal when the light turns green and you'll get much better milage.

I get 25 in my Z28 and thats not driving gently.

22 in my Taurus.

Somethings wrong there....

im in wisconsin, and about only HALF the counties have ethanol. but if you drive 10 miles to a neighboring county chances are you can get gas with out ethanol. luckily for me, i live in walworth county that does not require ethanol in the gas.

All counties should offer 93 oct without ethanol.

I'm sure the turbo has alot to do with my gas mileage. I haven't tracked it in a while, though, so it could be slightly better. And it's all highway miles, too, generally.. But yeah, i do kinda drive like a donkey.

AWD isn't a huge helper in the the MPG department either.

My Xterra gets 12-14mpg

The Jeep get 8-10mpg

Sounds like your calculating it wrong...

Most gasoline cars can't get 45+ mpg... and if they do, they wouldn't drop down to 27mpg... sounds too ridiculous :P

a gasoline car with a 150hp 1.5liter motor with no ac, a manual trans and a total weight just shy of 1750 lbs can.......hell, the base model could get 60... weighed less and had 62hp...

and im pretty sure about my calcs.. not real hard......reset trip meter with every tank and always fill it up... miles/gallons.... always fill it up.. verified odometer with a gps...

Im in TN, and we have 10% ethanol at all of our pumps.

Dont know what county that is in.. never seen ethanol in chattanooga which is usually around where i fill up when travelling that way.. or on I-64 just south of KY (though i usually get crap for mileage with gas around there)

I get on average 37mpg hauling arse to work and back with crappy Atlanta gas (same gas as california)... 45mpg with gas in alabama, 27mpg with 91 octane ethanol crap from Iowa... slightly better with gas from ill , slightly better with gas from Kentucky, and much much better with gas from TN.... make the trip from ATL to IA on a regular basis (2200 miles round trip) so I make sure i get the best mileage i can..
