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 -randy |

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

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 |

Pump your tires up and run mobil 1 0-20 eco oil. My biggest gains were from those changes. I run my tires currently at 54psi...i suggest at least 40 for others

finally got around to blowing up the tires, however they say max 40psi so thats where they're at. i've been trying to pay attention to some of my driving to see where i could improve and noticed a few things. one mainly is in town i'll leave it in 4th (under 45mph usually) same for getting off highway i'll usually drop it in 4th and 3rd and engine break it but then i'll drive around in that gear. i'm looking for a instrumentation cluster with a tach desperately. engine runs pretty smooth and i don't really notice if i've driving around in 3rd or 4th, till i go to downshift coming to a stop and realize i just drove 5 miles in 4th lol. and i think i'm going to do the cruise control mod pretty soon should help highway for sure. last couple tanks were 35-39mpg

I got a new set of Hanook H727, finally got rid of the Goodyear LS factory clunkers, and thought,I just filled up about 30 miles ago, so let me see how they do with standard 32 psi vs my normal 40 psi. So I did 38.8 mpg and thought, not bad! I got home after fill up and decided to go back to my 40psi to see what happens. Pulled out the trusty tire gauge and I'll be danged if they weren't all at 25 psi! I was ticked! Used both of my tire gauges to verify. Stupid installer! But it made me more impressed with the tires. Also explains part of why they rode so much smoother too,lol

How many miles did you wring out of the Goodyears? Pretty amazing MPGs for 25psi!

Here's the no bar and bar . As for tire pressure , always check the pressure after getting new tires or exchange of seasonal tires . Also , make sure the wheel covers are on correctly and snug . Usually do these right at the dealer lot . One time the salesman seen me checking tire pressure and says in a nasty tone " what do you think you're doing " . I replied , " checking the tire pressure " . Like I don't have a right to do so . Next time will check these things a block away so not to pee off anyone .

Only about 33000. Which is more than some, less than others. And realistically, with another rotation, they were good for 3-5000 more. But winter is right around the corner and I didnt want to chance it. If ya wait till it snow you wait forever. November around here you dont know what to expect.
