so after reading countless threads on gas mileage and how people are getting 25+, im a little perplexed on my situation.
I have an IX, and I'm only getting 17 mpg city driving and when i drive all highway to get to home i barely get over 22 mpg.
At first I thought it was my driving habits, i do like to accelerate fast, so I cut that down, and I STILL didn't see a vast improvement.
I took a drive the other day, about 65 miles roundtrip,all highway. I purposely tried to drive economically. 65 mph or less, with the gauge at 25 mpg or higher. I filled up with 3 gallons of premium before I left, and I BARELY got home. I was scared I was going to run out of gas on the highway. wtf?
I know AWD takes a hit on gas mileage, but is it that much of a difference? People have been saying they're getting 24-30 mpg consistently in their IS and IX. I would love to get that.
What are some things I can do to improve gas mileage. I know the biggest one is driving habits, and I tried that but to no avail.
tjmonson said it might be my valves.
could it be other things too?
cliffs: get crappy gas mileage in my IX, what are some things I can do to remedy this? already have toned down driving habits.
