    Hey just wanted to see what you all were getting mpg.. I got 34 mpg driving from Ohio to VA... I couldnt believe it. I did the math twice. sure enough 34 mpg.. I did an oil change right before i left so that helped a lil , only mods are injen exhaust and k&n intake., Just seeing if anyone else has had numbers like that..

    there is no way you were going 70-80mph and staying under 3k. our cars in 5th gear the rpms are at 3500 easy. unless you have 6 gears hehe

    That's about what my 7th gen gets, too. Around 30-32 on the highway, but I have been driving in the city for just about the whole summer, so I have been getting worse gas mileage.

    i mostly do short trips and average around 27-30, im not that light footed though lol. on the couple longer trips i have taken got aroung 34-37. not to bad in the five speed. but out here you have to run min like 80 on the auto bahns otherwise you will get ran the fuck over. i mean even the smart cars were running 80-90 Lmao.

    Yup CVT will do under 3k rpms at 80 no problem....when I try....I get around 27 to 32mpg but to be honest I have bad driving habits most of the time and I stomp my gas all the timeso I linger between 19 and 25 mpg

    I guess there are forums dedicated to this and some people have gotten up to 50 mpg...I myself have driven on the expressway going 60 mph and averaged up to 42 mpg on long trips, and 36mpg going about 65-70mph. Only mod really is an Injen intake and I use 5w-30 synthetic mobil 1 oil.
