bartkat Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 That would seem kinda low. With my 2002 I got 18 - 20 MPG in mixed local driving and on a trip of all interstate I got 25 MPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oj2000 Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 oo....so is there any problem with my car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Well, miles till the light comes on, isn't a very good number to use. Maybe run a full tank and record the miles, then do a MPG calculation. If you figure that you have used 15 gallons when the light comes on, and have traveled 240 miles, then that would be about 16 MPG, assuming that the 15 gallon figure is correct. That's really on the low side. What are your driving habits, conditions, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yelodel Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I average 21-22 MPG while driving more highway than local. I usually fill her up at 320-350 miles, that's about when the light comes on. However, if I do a lot of city driving, the MPG is much worse, but 16 MPG is not right. I see that kind of fuel consumption on super/turbocharged 2jz's.
