(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I decided to check my gas mileage on the 2.0. (stock Djet)
I filled up, with 89, drove 100.03 miles, averaged 50 miles /HR with slow traffic at times then fill up again. The tank took exatly 2.60 gallons. If i did my math correctly thats about 38.5 miles per gallon. Is that real? |

QUOTE(kg6dxn @ Aug 19 2012, 08:15 PM)  You also must consider tire size. Smaller diameter (low profile) tire will track a higher speed and more miles than stock tires. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Likely an over-estimate of MPG My 1.7 with weight reduction, lowered, and stock D-jet averages 35-37 MPG on the freeway (multiple tank/trips over the years) but much less with stop and go around town and through the twisty roads I typically drive. Bottom line- 914s can get great mileage and we should drive them more often! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
