My daughter and I just drove home from Central FL with her new '97 Metro 4 cyl coupe. I tried to put $10 in the near empty tank but it just overflowed all over my shoes. Then I checked the mileage and it was 41.8. Wow. That was driving 55-65 over 200 miles. To top it all off - we passed two cars on the way. Edited by ClydeWigg3, Dec 27 2008, 06:27 PM.

I drive my '91 pretty hard on the way to work: passing cars and running 65-75 the whole way. I've still been getting 38-41mpg although I was told on another forum that is quite a bit lower than what it should be. Still can't complain though! Derek |

I was getting around 40 MPG on 2 cylinders with mine. I can now beat the crap out of my car and still get 40+

Last tank was 58 MPG, but it's been warmer. On the really cold days, I get low 50's believe it or not. |

That is great mileage for the 4. I was only getting high 30s with my 3 after the head/cam and other mods. |

J.M., I often wonder how you achieve such high numbers...is it possible your calculations are thrown off by improper speedometer/odometer readings? Fuzzy math, maybe? I'm just saying....(out of jealousy, of course!) |

My consumption in city is 5.0l/100 that means 47mpg. When I travel outside , usual 3 persons my 1.0L eats only 4l/100 = 59mpg. I regularly use REDEX for cleaning the gas system and found that the power is increasing, the car has more briskness and the consumption is decreasing with 0.2l/100km or 25%. about REDEX |

I believe Johnny's numbers. We have about the same car and I'm getting 50+. I've hit over 60 mpg about 5 times last summer. This is averaged over the tank. I drive like an "old" Grandpa, not like the "young" Grandpa that I am. On bad days, I can get mid to upper 40's. I've checked my odometer/trip meter with the mileposts and I'm about as close as you can get. Most all the county roads out where I live are exactly one mile apart. And I'm using a Scangauge. I'm using 91 octane, advanced timing, WAI, very easy on the throttle, hypermiling. |

Bah, hypermiling is way too much work for me. An easy foot on the gas and speed limit of 60 yields an average of 47MPG year round. I can live with it! |
