That's a big jump between 15 & 25.

The Audi gets 15.2 doing mostly short haul, lead foot driving.

I can't fix it... sorry:(

I have no idea, but since I work at home and seldom go anywhere, I've gone as long as 3 months between fill ups since starting this gig in Fontana.

reply to nirvansk815
do you want an average with both personal and business vehicle or just personal vehicle?

edit:Work vehicles an average get about 15 . Personal vehicle gets around 20.

my bike gets unlimted mpg as it does not use gas at all

reply to nirvansk815
Wife's Honda civic gets 35mpg freeway easily. I have a Subaru Legacy (non-turbo) and I'm lucky if it gets 20. Right now I only drive it to and from work, about 10 miles per day.

• Aggressive driving (speeding and rapid acceleration and
  braking) can lower your gas mileage by as much as 33% at
  highway speeds and 5% around town.


• Observe the speed limit;each 5 miles per hour (mph) you
  drive over 60 mph can reduce your fuel economy by 10%.


• Avoid idling—idling gets 0 miles per gallon!

reply to nirvansk815
No, no and no.

I understand how to get better mileage. That's not my objective, it's to have the most fun getting from point A to point B as I can afford (and to get to the next red light before Dan).

reply to Nutty Hiker
lol I get that all the time...specially all the high school kids coming into Autozone to get oil. I'm just trying to get to work driving down baseline and then they speed past me just to get in front... and then I end up helping the same kids at the checkout lane...

I'm very conservative when driving in city traffic.

But put me on a late night/early morning freeway with light traffic and I turn into an animal.... an animal I tell you, simply an animal.

reply to nirvansk815
Wrong. Boring is driving like the gas is over $4 a gallon. I don't have a boat, though. They waste too much gas. In fact, I would dearly love to see restrictions placed on the frivolous consumption of gasoline in RVs, boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, 4-wheelers, sand rails, dirt bikes and all of the rest of it. Never going to happen, though. Too many vested interests.
