30mpg ms3

[shadyspeed3]

So ive almost had my car 2 years now and im at 41,000 miles and it has been a couple of months that ive had my mods on and driving it has been awesome! i have also havent reset my overall average in a few thousand. so one day a few weeks ago i filled up and reset it and ive more or less driven from work to home, havent had time or money for messing around. so since then my overall has been sitting at 30.7. just goes to show, if you can constrain yourself from smashing the gas all the time you can get awesome gas milage with these cars! so i wonder, how many miles are you all have and what kind of milage are you guys getting?

im also assuming im going to get crap for trusting the computer on the car but i also reset the trip between fill ups and figure it out by hand. most tanks are within a 2 mpg's per tank above and below driving from home to work to home. lately milage wise ive been around 410-415 on a tank. if i go out on a weekend and spank on it im around 360-380 miles per tank.

Holy crap... lucky you. Back when I first got the car I'd get around 330 mile per tank, lately though its closer to 300. I get it on occasionally, but mostly shifting between 2500 and 3000.

I've been wicked hard on mine lately so my mileage has been lower, but I consistently get close to 30mpg. I have about 20k on the clock, and bone stock other than cosmetic mods.

But Jon, you've discovered what I've said all along. These are efficient little bastards once you learn how to drive it nice.

I consistently get 24mpg. I'm in 1 hour of stop and go every weekday, and drop the hammer when ever I get the chance...

...oh ya, I'm not complaining

 

[Workdawg]

Oh yeah... I rolled 7000 miles yesterday.

I'm around 24-26 mpg (24k miles), 25 miles on the highway (usually at 75+ mph) twice per day and having fun on the weekends.

I get roughly 320-350 miles per tank, 380+ if I'm traveling (more time on the road means more money in my pocket, so I try to stay under boost at 60-63 mph)!

I bought the car to enjoy it, if I wanted better gas mileage I would've stuck with what I had (32+ with my old 2000 Camry).

earlier this summer i used to destroy my milage on mine when i had money to go driving out on uni friday and saturdays!but it has been tight so i have been conserving as much as i can.

i used to be lucky to get 320 on a tank it. and to see it keep going up and up every week is crazy for me.

400 miles per tank? Damn, how you do that? The most I've even put in the ms3 tank is about 12.5 gal (with the needle slipping past the last mark) so even at 30 mpg that's only 375 miles. The best milage I've gotten, on a trip back from the north shore was about 33 mpg and about 380 miles on that tank. I usually get about 300 miles per tank, or about 25 mpg. Thats about the same milage as I got with the n/a 2.3, so not to shabby considering I have about twice the power, and I don't skimp on using it most of the time.
