(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? |

Put one gallon of gas each in 2 cans. On a relatively flat freeway, drive till you run the car out of gas. Pour in one gallon and drive it at 60 mph till it runs out again. Note start and stop mileage with your gps. Do the math, then pour in the 2nd gallon and go to the next gas staition. I survived the 55 mph national speedlimit. I got 45mpg in my 1.7 at 55mph on a trip to dallas to see bob dylan in the 70's. 39 mpg at 50 in 5th gear in a well tuned 2L is very believable.
