I filled up with 93 octane Chevron Supreme ($1.43 here in Atlanta). Reset my mileage reader.
I drove 210 miles...this was a combo of highway and city. I may have hit redline 3 times out
of the 210 miles....i was driving very conservatively (shifting most of the time around 4000 rpms) just to see what kind
of mileage I could get. It had seemed that with my check engine light always being on, due to the 02 sensor not plugged
in, i was getting poor gas mileage and filling up all the time.

Well I went back to the same gas station, used the same pump and filled up again. It stopped at 7.567 gallons.
I divided that by the 210 miles I had traveled giving me an average of 27.75 miles per gallon. This seems way too high
considering a stock ITR gets 25 city and 30 hwy mpg. I have the higher gear, test pipe, header and intake....
granted I did drive a bit conservatively...but still.....

???

You might not have been shopping lately. It's dropped about 20 cents in the past week...

 

really? oh well i dont fill up in NY anyway, i hit up jersey where its a sweet 1.85..but if it dropped 20 cents then i'd better go shopping...

 

that sounds perfectly normal. I drive aggressive, rev hard, always stays between 24-27mpg. If your werent ripping it, 27 is right.

 

I drove to the beach last weekend in my ITR for the first time. Typically around here I'm gettin on her pretty hard. I get around 22/23 MPG local, gettin on it... trip to the beach I got 29MPG. Soo, sounds right to me.

 

I drive about 90% highway, but I redline it atleast once or twice a day. I get consistently right around 30mpg.

 

you guys are all spoiled here in California 92 octane is 2.29 a gallon so stop complaining

 

27.75 is not high. I get 35 mpg, almost all highway. Even with 1 or 2 auto-x with all interstate driving to and from, I managed 27 mpg.

 

hey t.j. thats pretty good then i get about 300 miles before i fill back up so i guess thats about 28 mpg. im guessing.

 

How recent is that? Here in Chicago, prices are usually as high as anywhere. That's what we were paying about three weeks ago. Now premium is anywhere from $1.80 to $2.00...

 

hm.. I use Sunoco 94 all the time... it's like 1.75 I think..
but yeah, my Mileage is BAAAD!!!! mebbe 1:20 if I drive like a jerk..

 

I've been averaging 25 mpg with a couple 30 min drives on the freeway. But I installed the Icebox last week, and the combination of that and 100% city driving dropped me to 19 mpg!!! Ouch.

 

with header, intake, cc, im getting 32MPG on my R..with a few redlines in there. I JUST got gas ten minutes ago with my gas light on at 320.1 miles. i feel like im driving an echo or something.

 

It always seems like non-California R's get much better gas mileage... We have too many shitty additives in our gas!
