Depends on way the way you drive it.

[richardkeith97]

mostly highway. i don't beat on it

Air Pressure? Ever 10 degrees of temp below freezing psi falls 1 degree. Last time you changed fluid and filter?

Typical fuel filter? Plugs cap and rotor?

I get 24 average with my auto vert with hardtop on it.

Was getting in the 18's at the beginning of the month after the car sat for about 3 week with sub temps.

I get about 21 in my eta :|

21 can't be right. I can do better, not by much mind you, in my M10. Would that be related to the auto?

[M-technik-3]

Auto's use more fuel as they are not as efficient in the older style transmissions.

[Holland]

That's what I thought. I get roughly 23mpg flogging it with a 5spd and a 3.91.

[Quadrajet]

also Holland it's probably warmer where you're at year round. My eta will average 22-25 until the outside temps pick up. What's more telling is my Highway mileage which now is 26mpg but will jump to 30 in the Spring and Summer. When we see 90's up here my cars do their best.

Used to always get 24 mpg beating the piss out of mine

[Raxe]

I can get around 25mpg driving the wheels off of it.

I can get around 25mpg driving the wheels off of it.

same!

[Aptyp]

highway with 5sp, i get low 30s on a long trip and upper 30s if I stay 70 entire way in 5th, auto should be even better with longer overdrive.

[e34john]

you should be doing better. I get that kind of MPGs in my i with some wide summer tires.
