Winter mileage: what mileage are you getting right now ?

[Yury]

Hi, AllI jwould like to compare my gas milege as of now (Feb 13, 07) with others in Toronto area.I am getting sucky 8.4 l with a 05 Base stick shift on a commute from high park to mississauga (25 km of highway + about 5 in the city).So, who gets what right now ?Thanks.

I average about 450-510 KM per tank (full to just under 1/4 tank) in the winter. I also warm my car up before going home for lunch... and have mods that don't exactly aid in fuel mileage. Add a heavy accel foot to the mix.

I'm near Ottawa and getting 34mpg average. 95% highway. '06 base stick with mods, CAI, header, Magnaflow exhaust.

hmm....why does my mileage suck then.....i am not that heavy footed, the car is all stock, had air filter replaced, getting more or less the same mileage off different gas stations....dunno.i wonder if it is related to the new PCM i got last year (to fix the heat soak problem)

I get about 32mpg with some mods and a heavy foot.You must live near me if you live close to high park.

[Mavrik]

but my car is still canadian.

[Yury]

kevera,32mpg - is that during winter ?you ever park on pacific ave ? i might have seen a couple of vibes there

[kevera]

That's right now.I get gas at the Sunoco at runnymede and st.clair.I have a heavy foot too.I live just north of st.clair,but I am in the area all the time.

thanks. darn, i am doing worse than you.what the heck is wrong with this stupid car..

[kevera]

Where are you getting gas.Are you due for an oil change.

[Yury]

i am using the station at keele and bloor, i believe it's Petro Canada. however, sometimes i use other stations (randomly). like last week i drove to new york city and back, but no particular change in mileage other than perhaps a very minor improvement due to it being 100% highway (however i must admit i was doing 120+ most of the way).no, i am not due for oil change for at least another thousand yet.

i got 20L/100kms the other week-25C in the morning + 10min warm-up + 5min drive to work + same on the way home = crappy crappy mileage....
