Best Mileage Ever!

I was late to the party and was going to say that check valve would be for evap. anyway...

I got 12.7 mpg on my last tank. All city driving for me now. I need to get something a little better at least.

I manage 17-18 mpg. Oddly, whether I'm driving city or highway, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. That being said, I do drive with mpg in mind. I don't race to red lights like most people do and when possible, I try to time lights so I'm not coming to a complete stop.

On the highway, I've noticed that speed makes a HUGE difference. I frequently drive the Coquihalla Pass highway in BC. Keeping a steady 120 km/h, I average around 15 mpg. If I keep my speed under 110 km/h, it jumps up to 18+. There could be other variables in there that are exaggerating the difference, but either way, it does make a significant difference.

I just removed my factory roof rack for the sake of reduced drag. I realize that it will probably make no noticeable difference, but it's free and I figured why not.

I just hit 200 miles and I'm empty... will probably be even less mpg this time.

I notice I get at-least 45-50 miles per tank when using premium from local lukoil station than compared to the regular stuff from say wawa or sunoco but in these winter months im still not seeing more than 240 miles for 16 gallon fill ups in the summer its about 260 270 miles for city driving on 16 gallons

Yeah, what "check valve" are you talking about?


Also, best to check your mileage by hand... not with the Scangauge.

My ultra guage says 19.7 or 20.2. I calculated 5 fill ups now i get 18.6ish. I did get 21-22 when I had my 265/65/16 tires.

Calibrate it and then you are good to go!
