Mine has gotten better with age so to speak. I have a little under 30k miles and the mileage has gotten better since 20k. I have to say that I'm not trying as hard now as I did the 1st 20k and it comes easier. I keep my foot out if it. when I was 1st really trying, I'd more or less pretend I had an egg under my foot. And I would get 37 to39 mpg. Maybe because now its second nature for me, But I find myself too often at 75mph on the way to work, and that makes a big difference. keeping at 70 or below is where its at! If I would just leave 5-7 minutes earlier I wouldnt need to rush at all and set the cruise at 65 I could do even better. I keep my tires at 40 psi. Rides better at 32-35 for sure! but mileage at 40 is noticeably better.

Sickpuppy1,

Thanks, I'll try bumping the tire pressure to 36 psi then maybe 38 and then 40 later on depending on the ride. I've also been driving very gently, like a pussy as one put it, in the city. I never go over 3000 rpm and quick shift to the next gear in the city.
The funny thing is on the freeway, I'm like you going at 120kmph(around 75MPH) 3000 rpm all the time and I get massively better mileage, even with the wind resistance and all.

Huh. Driving sensibly in Vancouver is quite an accomplishment in my eyes! That place is a madhouse...

I've driven my car since new (2007), and I can count on one hand when it has ever seen 5 grand, but I do NOT make it pull hard below 2,000. Cops around here hide like Waldo, so one never knows when to let loose. The only mods have been inflating the tires to 38lbs, and using MolySlip (Canadian product) in the engine. Long trips always pull ~60mpgImp; stop & go (we run a mail route, REALLY stop & go!) we never get below 35mpgImp. And I am not your average Old Coot driver, either...

Bizlibati · 09-28-2011, 08:53 AM

Being around the conventional part, my own appraisal will be 80+km(highway) or perhaps 60+km(city). My own statement will be that when an individual put things off, with concerning 20kms right after that starts off, the particular pulsating can be more quickly. When this occurs, then you've got to refill. The particular fish tank is supposed to carry 42l yet I've found out there you could load that together with 1 or 2 liters greater than 49. That is probably not a good idea to take action even though.

docB · 09-28-2011, 09:40 PM

A nice compromise for ride and mileage is 35 psi in the rear. Go 40-42 in the fronts. The car seems to stick better to the road this way in mho.

'08 base model sedan w/ 4 speed auto :

Eco-Meter : 40.0 ( set @ 95 )
Calculated : 41.05 ( 411.7 / 10.029 gals. )

The last bar started to blink just before the fill of SUNOCO 89 w/E10 at 1 click of nozzle . This tank was VALERO 87 w/E10 . Tires set at 37 . Engine oil is SHELL full synthetic 5w-20 . The engine really likes this oil , quite quiet . Reset Eco-Meter to 96 since it has been reading low .

Hershey · 10-17-2011, 12:18 PM

Eco-Meter : 40.4 ( @96 )
Calculated : 39.659 ( 405.8 mis. / 10.232 gals @ 1 click )

The ECO read higher at 96 . One blinking bar before fill . This tank was wet roads , 50s' for temps , winds up to 35 m.p.h. , and many steep hills . Tires at 35 and 2 riders for over 1/2 the tank . Possibly the winter blend . Refilled with VALERO 87 w/E10 .

Yaristeve · 10-17-2011, 02:48 PM

All you people who are getting into the 40s, do you use your A/C?

No matter what I do, I can't get more than 37MPG unless it is a long uninterrupted trip @70 or little less.

malibuguy · 10-17-2011, 06:20 PM

i used A/C & got upper 40s, low 50s

malibuguy · 10-18-2011, 12:26 PM

53.32mpg last tank

padre1964 · 10-20-2011, 10:04 AM

I always get a consistant 43 mpg, mostly hwy and i keep it below 60 with a/c on. I have had one tank that was 27 mpg but i was driving at 85 mostly my whole trip.

malibuguy · 10-20-2011, 01:24 PM

^ i drove down to southern VA beating the hell out of the car & still got 41mpg...& a ticket...haha

randeez · 10-20-2011, 08:28 PM

first post!

hey guys , just picked up an '08 hatch m/t wenesday morning (yesterday). main appeal was the mpg i had hoped for so this thread is keeping hopes high. i've already put 270miles on the first tank just commuting to and for work. Dealer said they filled it up and I still have 3 bars left so i'm hoping i can knock down another 100miles before fill up with mostly highway driving 75-80ish and quite a bit of stop and go city driving. If i can get good mileage not even trying that would be great!

and nice forum, lots of good info guys

malibuguy · 10-21-2011, 08:54 AM

at 3 bars i'm usually already past 400 miles. don't drive so fast & upshift at 2000rpm with very moderate throttle. try to slow coast instead of stop & go as much as you can

randeez · 10-21-2011, 11:08 PM

yea the first tank i didn't really try to conserve at all...ran it 75-80 for most of the highway driving and probably had about 100miles of stop n go city/highway crawl driving so i'm not to disappointed. ended up gassing up at 326 miles and took just over 8.8 gallons=37mpg. i put another 190 miles on new tank today and just dropped into 5/8bars. i get paid mileage so it's all good either way, lol.
i already downshift/roll to lights try, keep moving, and hardly use the brakes but i have dropped highway cruise to around 70mph so we'll see how it works out. if i can consistantly get 40+mpg i'll be happy
