How's your real world MPG?

[Cruiser]

We recently bought a 2012 Kia Soul 6spd with the 1.6L direct injection motor and Mrs. Cruiser is averaging over 37mpg on her mostly city commute between Littleton and Lakewood and has had a couple of tanks where she got an average of more like 39mpg out of it.

By comparison my '02 Excursion diesel auto is averaging 15mpg around town. And my '08 Xterra 6spd gets about 18.5 in mixed driving.

So, what are you in and how's your real world mileage?

Since I stopped eating meat my mileage has been much better.

[4matic]

Mercedes CLK550 pushing 400hp and 4.5 second 0-60. 21.5 avg. mpg.

[Tuckerman]

VW sportwagon TDi avg. 41.3 mpg. It just had its first oil change the other day.

[BurnHard]

'02 BMW 325xi averaging 22mpg city driving, 25mpg mixed driving (with a 10mile work commute). Wish I was getting a little more, but that's what motorcycles are for!

[El Chupacabra]

[Bobby Stainless]

My daily is a Nissan Titan and I get about 11-12mpg.

[Bobby Stainless]

Mercedes CLK550 pushing 400hp and 4.5 second 0-60. 21.5 avg. mpg.

Unless you have modded your CLK it's not pulling a 4.5 second 0-60.

[adampecush]

2008 M3 - 17.4 mpg average, because race car.

(fortunately for my wallet, I carpool/public transit to and from work)

[bagtagley]

Wife's Sonata gets a deplorable 22 mpg average. Surprisingly fast car, which is fun for me, but doesn't work well for her since her foot only knows off-the-gas or floored.

[guroo270]

2006 Forester Turbo, 26.5 MPG mixed. 23 city, 29 going over the rockies from Boulder to Grand Junction. 27 with a top box.

Wife's 2006 Honda Civic gets about 37, mostly in town. It got 50 mpg when we moved and she was following me driving the moving truck, going mostly 50 mph.

The stated Mercedes numbers are a lie. The CLK550 is faster than the CLK55 AMG and DB did not want to denigrate the CLK55 AMG owners who paid more money. The car is VERY fast but 4.5 may be slightly optimistic but not much.

'09 G8 GT, highway cruising, ~25mpg, but I had seen over 30mpg pre-AFM disable. I don't like to think about city mileage. Overall mixed is 18-22mpg. For being able to turn some sticky 285's into black 11's while seating five comfortably, I'm okay with it.

that sounds like NOT a lot of fun for you. "uh, i'll drive"...

Nissan Frontier 4 liter w/ & intake/exhaust - 20mpg mixed, mostly around town
Infiniti I30 - 26mpg, mixed, more highway

wifes
Nissan Sentra 1.8 - 32mpg, mixed

[DasBlunt]

48-52 mpg depending mtn or city.

[MarcusBrody]

My Honda Fit probably gets 31 or so around town and 34 if I'm on the highway. That can be bumped up 4-5 mph if I drop the speed to 65.

[toast2266]

'07 Ford Focus - 29 City / mixed. 33 highway.
'01 F250 powerstroke - 14 City, 17-18 hwy
'03 Jetta TDI - 37 with roof racks (bike / ski)

More vegan propoganda!

[Cruiser]

More vegan propoganda!

Ah, but is it really propaganda if it's actually true? Being a vegan makes everything you do better. That's pretty much established fact, ain't it?

Oh, and we were getting ~16.5mpg mixed in our '08 Nissan Pathfinder LE auto before we sold it.

[sidewall]

Have a 07 GTI with the 2.0 turbo. I can get 39 mpg if I drive 56 mph on the highway. Overall probably high 20's.
