What's your MPG?
#1
What's your MPG?
This is the most boring question I've probably asked on any forum ever but I'm interested.

What's the miles per gallon on whatever vehicle you drive for day to day use?

I don't know if they measure it differently in America.

My Honda Civic was 29 MPG which is pretty bad but I wasn't bothered until fuel prices seemed to go really high and for some reason the fuel didn't seem to be lasting me as long.

I just got a Toyota Yaris Hybrid and the MPG is now somewhere between 45 and 50 usually, which makes a pretty big difference.

If I didn't have children I swear I'd have the tiniest Hybrid, maybe I'm just a cheap bastard but I'm more proud of my MPG than the top speed or acceleration of my car these days.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

We have two primary daily drivers, a 2021 Kia Soul in MX, gets about 32 mpg on the highway. We don't drive it enough around town to keep track of city mpg.

In the US, we drive a 2015 Nissan Leaf that gets 4 miles / kWh (fuel cost of somewhat more than 2 cents per mile).

RE: What's your MPG?
Well, I drive a Hyundai Elantra, and while it supposedly can go up to 33 mpg in the city, in practice, because I have to obey the rules of the road and not get into an accident, I frequently have to wait for long periods of time for the car in front of me to notice that the light has turned green (longest for just one car in front of me is about a minute, and I'm not sure of the biggest number of times I had to watch the light go from green to red in a single stretch of road before I could finally make a turn, but I think it's somewhere between 4 and 7) or waiting to turn on a road that has a bunch of oncoming cars, it's often about half that. And I know this because it has an option to display the MPG on the dash. In fact, last time I checked, it had about 16.7 mpg.

Our fleet averages about 34 mpg. (9 cars).

It would be higher - except the convertible gets a lousy 24 mpg. Fortunately we drive it only a few months out of the year - and mostly on weekends...

We have 8 Saturns - all S series twin cam engines.

On a long trip with the manual transmission we can squeek out 42 mpg....

She has a 2022 Sorento hybrid that gets around 45mpg. I have a soon-to-be-retired 1985 Land Rover that manages about 17.

My current car averages about 40 mpg (UK gallons)
My previous hybrid gave about 60 mpg

We just bought a 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4, a 3-cylinder car. In cold weather, it can get as low as 10 mpg, warmer weather over 40 mpg.

Around 30 MPG but I drive very little and it's all stop and go traffic and in low speed limit areas.

Due to working from home, I get about a month to six weeks per fill up.

I've never owned a car, and haven't driven since high school.
