wrczx3, since 22 is the city mileage rating, it sounds like you're doing OK.

wrczx3

I think so too. I am certainly not complaining since we still have the winter blend of gasoline around here also. I was getting 24.7 before the winter so I assume i'll be up aroung 25 around town soon. I only make one 50 mile highway round trip a week and I also let my car idle alot to warm it up in the morning.

Then you're a poster child for xB mileage!

wrczx3

I'm also and old man and drive so darn slow that i'm sure that helps a bit. I checked my cars computer and it said my average speed is only twenty. I live in a farly small time and I work in town.

Then you'll definitely be glad you went with the NF210's, I'm an old fart also.

i am not to far off on that heh .. my rpm's rarely go over 3k ... most of the time around 2k is when it shifts to next gear (auto) only on a rare occasion will it go up more, and that normally involves a log truck or another thing bigger then me that suddenly decides to go forward instead of going around ...

Devil, you're just a kid! I have shoes as old as you.

Put DF210's and 20's on her and see how she rides!

Sorry for the threadjack...

Stock auto - 22-24 mpg, 60% city, all hills, and I drive hard (fast accel, 80-85 on the highway).

I barely get 2mpg better out of my wife's xA, and the same when I had my 05 xB. This gen (bigger motor) is a lot more willing to be driven hard.

xActly, that was the main reason for this thread. I figured the smaller engine of xd's, yaris's, corollas, etc. would have to work harder making them really only get a mile or two better mpg than the XB. Thanks, keep em coming.

shuedawg

Just breaking in the engine in at 1500 miles and getting 24-25 MPG. I drive hard and tend to go just a little faster than the speed limit

Kiiski

I get around 22.
But I'm rarely on the freeway, maybe once every couple of months.
Plus, I live on a dirt road that is quite steep and about a mile long, you do less than 10 mph on it. the setting on the computer that shows "actual" mpg as you are driving shows I am getting 3 to 7mpg when I'm going up the driveway.

I drive about 50-60 total miles every day, probably about 80% freeway. I have a lead foot, I'll admit it, and I use regular unleaded, whatever's cheapest. I'm also in a warm climate, so the A/C is on 100% of the time.

I've only had my baby for four fill-ups so far, but I've been doing exact calculations (using actual miles per tank and exact # gallons put in) and I've been right at 25-26mpg each time, which I'm really happy with.

I've been averaging between 27-29 mpg, not driving conservatively.
