Re: [Help] How can I determine my gas mileage? said by koam:Mileage = MPG = MILES / GALLON. Figure it out. You're right. It isn't that hard.
How do all your mileages compare to rated? I know a lot of people complain that it is less, but my family always gets much better. Dad always taught us how to drive very conservatively (coast to red lights, avoid excess stops, etc.)
My '92 Corolla (auto) almost always gets 41 MPG on sustained highway trips, assuming the speed limit is 65, it drops off a bit higher than that. My '91 Camry is always upper 30s. But, that is driving like most people won't-no frivolous stops for food/bathrrom, reserved AC usage, windows up,

With my Civic I have gotten 36-38 mpg for pure city driving which is more like the rated mpg for pure highway miles... It does not help the auto is a Chrysler minivan with a 3.8 L engine...

kudos:1 | When driving the minivan, does that include hauling family who demand stops every 200 miles?  | | |
