I know I can shift to 2nd and other gears SOONER keeping the RPMs below the 2,500 - 3,000 range. But I dont really wanna. Feels to weak entering 2nd or 3rd or 4th gear when I've shifted at 2,000 RPM.

Just curious if me shifting into 2nd and other gears at 2,500-3,000 is maybe a main cause for why I'm only seeing freaking 28-30 MPG US???

this is on par with what I've seen over the 6000 miles the car now has.

Just waiting for it to warm up, so I can get a few more mpgizzles :)

I used to shift at 3000rpm. City mileage was a constant 24mpg (US)

I'm doing right now a test: shifting UNDER 2000rpm. Will let you know what the mileage will be

Sure does, if u shift around 2,000 RPM... god, it feels so sluggish and weak in the next gear until ur RPM slowly crawl up a bit.

Somwhere just before 3,000 is usually the ideal spot for me for power for shifting

I agree, I do so usually, but then I get less than 25mpg. Shifting between 1500-2000rpm (and cruising at 1500rpm) make it slower, true, but not too slow, it's just like driving it smoother and let me say that I usually quite keep up with the traffic.

I understand. Thanks!
Still, I change from brand to brand from time to time hoping that the different additives that are put in by different oil companies will help make a small difference.
What I am doing is, of course, experimental. No conclusion yet.

Hi, first reading after 300 mile breakin period. Auto, sedan, about 90% stop and go, 34 MPG US average. I'm very pleased -- will be much higher when I start communting back to work and get some highway miles on it.

Your car's fuel economy looks very good for city driving. It will be great if consistency can be maintained over time. Any improvement will be even better.
It will be appreciated if you post your future mpg numbers here periodically.

I'm now over 2000 KMs total mileage, and my MPG average for this last tank is now up to 36 from a previous average of 30.

I'm positive I can get it up to 40 MPG on this next tank, since the first half of the last one had a fair bit of city stop/go, and I was heavy on the pedals for a few trips to see what it could do. Only the second half was in econo-mode, shifting at 2000 RPM and being very gentle everywhere.

You people that break your MPG down to the tenth of a mile are all insane.

Just wanted to share that.
