you get bad milage in the winter, wait until it warmer and youll get 400+
I wish my grass was Emo, so it would cut itself...

ok well i see that everyone gets less than 300 or more than 400. jus to let you knowt that this focus is still stock and auto and most of my driving is mixed. i guess what im getting is goood?!?
im not sure if i should still take it to ford to get it check out also i see that u guys say that the reason is cause the cat takes very long to warm up could it be a defective sensor? thanks meford4u,Mar 8 2006, 11:37 AM Wrote:Flofocus,Mar 8 2006, 09:35 AM Wrote:600/highway Focus of course, I love turbos :D the 600 is going from Ottawa to Toronto. Using 10psi of boost once in a while to 'wake me up' ;) :D :D 400 in the city is mostly seeing 5-6psi. BEFORE Turbo, the best I got was 525 from Ottawa to Toronto. The tune must have really helped my MPG. EDIT: 94 octane.

On highway trips setting cruise between 120-130kph I usually manage about 450kms
Same thing but set at just under 170kph I can still get over 400kms It the around town driving that screws me over, I'll usually get around 350-400kms The thing that really annoys me about it is that I got better mileage with my old 96 V6 MTX Contour. Smaller tank, and I'd get close to 600kms on a tank on the highway, over 400kms in the city.

Anything that opens the IMRC will drop me to Zetec or worse fuel usage.
If I stay out of the happy juice, I can get 450KMs around town before the light comes on. Normally in the winter here it's 300-320Kms. On the highway, I'm pretty damn close to CraziKev and that was before the 50% UDP. Time will tell as to how we'll do in the summer.

you guys get great mileage! my sube wagon gets like 17mpg :ph34r:

I get 400k on a tank, fuel economy changed when I got my t-body. On the hwy I get 600k if I stay around 110. I don't really care about fuel economy, that will go out the door if I get forced induction (excluding the PW kit).
Civic's sucks!

I found that if you pay attention to the shift light you'll get the most out of your tank. Also when starting off from a dead stop be easy on the pedal cause most of your fuel is used getting the car moving. With that said I average 400-450 in the city and that is mixed driving. 650ish is my best on the hwy and that's with a loaded car and a CEL for something.
for every $10 of gas I put in I'll get 100-125km from it in the city. If I go on a road trip this summer I'll fill the tank up along with a jerry can drive it until the gas is all gone. See how much I can drive with the gas light on.

i have an svtf, and i get around 450km til the light goes on, but if i take it really easy i get around 525km til light comes on, this is all during the winter months and mixed city/hwy driving. i hope it improves during the summer, but i doubt it because when the summer tires are on, so is my lead foot. anyways, i was also wondering what other SVTF's get in terms of km's til the light comes on?

I used to get around 300ish (and maybe a few times up to 400) but since i got the new updated fuel pump, I've been getting 450-550km per tank and i'm doing mixed city/highway. (with light on for a bit, needle is just around empty line)
Oh, this in a 2001 ZX3 with a Diablo chip, a cone filter and exhaust..... with regular gas.
