37.1 mpg avg with the xB2..
Not bad considering EPA is 22/28 on this 3000 lb tank. My best ever before was 33 mpg and I've only been over 30mpg a handful of times at best (mostly mid 20s).
I probably could have been really close to 40mpg if I slowed down to 55 mph, but unfortunately no body around here obeys the speed limit. If only we had the Camry 5th gear or a 6th gear,
this would probably much easier to accomplish and keep pace with traffic (everyone around here does 10-20 mph over the posted speed limit which = dangerous for law abiding citizens).

What part of the metroplex do you stay? Yea 37 mpg, I wouldnt post something on here if it wasnt true. 60 is the sweet spot, once you go faster the mileage starts to suffer bad (short gearing FTL!)

Yeah 60 does feel the most efficient. Im in Cedar Hill and work in Irving off of N. Beltline rd. Ive only been here a couple weeks. I changed my oil today and bought a new air filter for my intake cause the other one was clogged with rust. Maybe my mpg will increase lol.

Oh and what mods do you have?? One thing I do like though is the short 5th gear because you can floor it on the highway and it picks up pretty good but it really does need a 6th gear.

I'm in the fort worth are and I don't get near that. I think it is the gas available here. I use fulley.com to keep track of my mileage. I average about 25 but the computer scion computer says more like 30

I'm only getting low 20's on mine. When I got into town (Honolulu) I have to climb about 1000' elevation and I get only about 15-19 mpg. But going down hill I get 90mpg (whoohoo). But the laws of physics work against me, hence the low average miles.
Everyone in California knows 65 is the posted speed minimum.

Right when after I began the drive I hit the reset button. The avg began at 29 mpg and by the end it was showing what you see in the photo.
This thread was not to brag or to state that I will get this type of gas mileage every time I get on the road. I just wanted to show people (especially the xb1 owners) that the xb2 is capable of getting good gas mileage.

Just reset your ecu drive like an old man and Bam! your got a 40mpg avg. As you keep driving though the average is going to back to normal.
Ive done this too just because it makes me feel better that all the mods ive done have actually given me something like 24-25mpg highway lol.
