What is your car/truck (combined) MPG - Page 3

**sd4chiefs** · 04-19-2006, 05:43 PM

With the price of gas going sky high I was wondering what everyones car/truck (combined) MPG was.

You can find it at this web site.

Mine gets close to that, too, about 18.5 in mixed driving and about 20 highway.

My wife's car, a 2006 CR-V gets 24 mpg running around town and about 27 highway, so the site's listing of 25 combined is about right.

Wife drives a 2004 Malibu, 6cyl. Combined 26mpg

I drive a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4. Combined 18mpg

Needless to say, we pretty much only use the Jeep for camping and me driving 2 miles to work everyday.

According to the on-board computer, my Town and Country gets 20.2. My Corolla is 40.2.

Yes I am. I find it to be a very dependable car.

It's not a camaro but it goes as fast as I want it too.

I just think of it this way. I pay half (or less) of what most other people do to drive the same distance.

At 3.00 per gallon, it's a great car.

According to that site, my 2003 Ford F150 is supposed to get 16 and 20. However, my own calculations have shown it to get 13 and 15.

They don't have my 1994 Ford F-250 4WD?

My 94 GMC Suburban w/ 42 gallon tank gets 14 mpg combined.

It's always a special treat when I can find a pump that doesn't auto shut off at $75, and I get the thrill of hitting triple digits when I fill up.

Fortunately, most weeks I don't even put 75 miles on it.

Heh, I always thought it was funny that CC companies(or is it just Visa?) required that you could only get $50 at a time. With the way prices jumped up last year, that $50 just doesn't cut it. Even with my Ford F150(25 gallon tank). I did manage to get in something like $57 about 2 weeks ago. I imagine my next fillup is gonna run $60 or so.

Gas prices are going crazy! Fortunately I don't have to drive that much, just for the normal errands and to work/home.

03 Mustang GT, my car - 18 city 26 highway. Pretty accarate, last trip I took I did average 26 mpg. But the city all depends on how I drive and I didn't get the car to drive it like an old lady.

04 Escape, wife's rig - 19 city 25 highway. I got 28 mpg on a trip to Ohio one time, had one heck of a tail wind. Another time right after Katrina hit I went from FT. Campbell, KY to Columbia MO on one tank, didn't take the time to figure out the milage but that was unbelievable. Again had really strong tail winds.
