What kind of MPG are you getting?

I am sure it does not really matter to some people, but I was wondering what kind of MPG some people are getting and what type of Gasoline you guys like to put in you're GC.

I am getting between 25-26 and I get best performance and MPG when I get the 93 premium at Shell. My second option is BP and sometimes HESS, but I can see the difference in the MPG by .5 or so.

93 premium. not sure i believe the top tier hype as long as you avoid the super discounters. i use Valero.
if i drive like a granny on a long flat with maybe some tailwind... i can get up over 30.
the way i actually drive around home, 18. probly a little better after i do mods.

2013 2.0t A/T. I drive about half highway half city to and from work every day, don't drive too much on weekends. I'm not driving like a granny but not flooring it after ever red light either. Usually gas it to where it shifts at about 4k RPMs. I'm averaging about 22-23 mpg with 93 premium fuel.

Yeah I shift around 3K, but in my favor most of the roads in drive in don't have too much traffic or lights.

When I picked up my car from the dealer when I bought it they filled up the car with 87 :shock: . Def a WTF moment.

Yes is my DD. I like it so far only thing that I had to get used to was the steering. It was a lot stiffer than I though, but after a few days I don't even notice it. I was actually very impressed with the 2.0T. It drives nice and it does well in traffic and Highway. The clutch is not super soft but is not super hard. I was driving a 911 manual for a week and after a week I am sure my left leg was bigger than my right on how hard that clutch was. I def wouldn't recommend a 911 for daily or at least get the auto if its the daily.

I am planning to keep this bad boy for 4 years then getting a Cadillac ATS coupe or 328i with the M package.

Around 22-26 depending on how I drive usually before fill up its at 23.6, running on Chevron or Shell mainly Chevron though, and 91 cause CA dont have 93 -_-

Dam that sucks. Another reason I wouldn't leave Florida. Summer tires year round , 93 octane at any time, and no snow to worry about :grin:

2013 3.8. Always use 93 octane.

Averaging 23.3MPG mix of highway and city. When I put the Hyundai fuel system cleaner with Techron in, I got over 25MPG.

I once put Shell V power 93octane in a half full tank and it did bump the average up. I want to try a full tank of the Shell and see what it does.

That's actually pretty decent for a 3.8. Is it true for the 3.8 is optional to use 93 and you could get away with using 87?

13' 2.0 T A/T

AVG City: 23-28MPG Racing~18MPG Normal 21-26 MPG Hypermill: 27-28MPG

AVG HWY 26-33MPG Racing~24-25MPG Normal 26-28MPG Hypermill: 30-33MPG

Best highway MPG i was able to acheive to date is almost 34MPG all highway hypermilling and trailing behind a semi driving granny style.

The best is on 93+ Octane Shell Premium to the worst is cheap gas..
Usually something between shell and costco gas...

Any modifications to your car? Strictly city driving I get about 18-19 the way I drive, which is slightly more aggressive than your average driver but definitely not "racing" all the time. Wish I got your kind of milage!

No mods. I'm sure if I floored it everywhere I could get 14-17,18MPG. but i've gone 120-130MPH before and was still cruising at 25 MPG AVG....

Honestly, i really think it is the way I drive...when I try (hypermill) I try to achieve the best possible fuel economy. briskly accelerate to the speed I need...Usually the highest gear as that's where all of the fuel economy savings you get.... then coast the rest of the way.

the key is to use the MPG fuel economy gauge...It's aimed to my eye ball at all times....i'm always looking so it stays as high as possible.

I noticed on this car after 70 mph+ fuel economy drops drastically..more so then other cars I've had in the past...maybe it's wider and catches more wind...idk...

either way I try to get to the highest gear as possible without using too much of the cars fuel / energy.

I've talked to a buddy of mine and he has a tune, intake and exhaust. he asked me what i got mpg wise....when i told him...he was shocked as he said he gets 18 mpg in the city and it seems to be getting worse...

ive seen him drive and he hot rods it everywhere he goes....i don't think i have a factory freak...go figure.

Another tip for those who want to get better gas mileage...is coast...

on hyundai's when you let off the gas it shuts the injectors off and stops spraying fuel...as it's still turning and then when you hit the brake and return to idle they come back on...

however it does not do this in neutral..i used to coast in neutral thinking it would save more gas....it's all dependent upon the slope of a hill...however it doesn't shut off the fuel...

I'm convinced after comparing from back in the day.... we would get better MPG with non-ethanol gas and for sure better performance. I hate ethanol in my gas...they say it's better for the environment but hurts my car...need to find a place that has non-ethanol and try that out..

Marinas and small airports should have it, but you might only find 90 or 100+ octane. Plus they might not sell it for cars (or you might not be able to get a car to the pump if it's dockside).

Hmmm, there's a website.... pure-gas.org

Got a 2.0T A/T. No mods. I drive highway around 80MPH on 93 Exxon gas (since its right next to my house). I averaged 21-22MPG highway and 18-19MPG city. A few days ago, filled up on 93 Mapco (gas was $1.94!!!!!) and averaged 25MPG highway and 21 city.
 
#36 ·
That sounds a lot closer to what I'm getting. Idk how everyone else is saying 25/26, I would love to get that kind of milage! The one time I had it on the highway for about two hours, I averaged about 24. Maybe I just drive more aggressively than I think...

Getting 27 all city here in Guam on 87 with intake, bov and no tune. Granted the speed limit is 35 on the whole island. 2011 2.0t 6mt..I'm happy because gas just went below $3 a gallon!
