I don't do any highway driving anymore and average 15 miles a day.

Holy **** you drive alot. 24k miles a year. Got my GXP late in 2006 and just hit 28k miles. I drove it alot the first year since I dated a girl in Texas. But since then I only put about 6000 miles on it a year.


I mostly drive my solstice for fun and seem to get about 19-20 mpg.

Over 30 MPG 1 person named Steve has spotting periods.

Having almost (9637) 10 K miles on my GXP Coupe with a average MPG > 30, your poll needs more options!

yeah, I drove most of it the first year. I would be gone for hours and no one knew where I was, even myself.
Also, I was about 40 miles round trip for work for about a year.

My Wrangler that I traded in for my sol had 27k miles on it. Had it for 6 years, worked about 6 miles round trip.

Kinda shows the difference in how much I didn't like driving before I got my Sol.

I think someone is stealing gas from my car at night while it's parked right in my driveway in the car port.
I'm going to have to start tracking this stuff again, I wonder if the DIC MPG average will be able to tell if gas has been stolen by showing a very low MPG after it's been drained.

I've got 50K on my 06 N/A manual. I have input every tank of gas into the fueleconomy.gov website since the first week. I have an average of 24.2 miles with 36% city 64% highway average for the entire 50,000 miles

That's great trux. That extra .02 has indicated you drive like grandma Nancy! congrats! Maybe next year you can get over 30MPG and start to get "spotting periods" ?

Nice

I'm getting really into watching my gas mileage. I'm actually enjoying cruising around rather than racing around lately. More so that it's now top down weather

I get the 22-25, but I DO drive like I'm mad all the time- at least, whenever I'm on the highway. Is it too much to ask to not have anyone in front of me?

lmao. Too funny. We should always be in first, right?

My readings continue to show right at about 28.5 mpg constantly.
I drive VERY conservatively most of the time, so I know it isn't my driving.
I wonder if a better air intake and such, since my car is literally bone stock, would free up a little air flow? Exhaust? GMPP Stage II? High Flow Cat?

[sstoops]

You don't give the option: We are averaging over 30 in both our Sols

Amsoil products cannot be used for extended drain intervals if modified computer or induction, (1):

AMSOIL - Signature Series 0W-30 100% Synthetic Motor Oil (SSO)

Just another chance to plug Mobil 5w30 with Hahn Racecraft Stage ll getting 40 mpg!

My actual DIC reading is 46 mpg and have seen 50 mpg on a 55 mph road for an hour.

Wow, we normally average about 25-27 MPG on the high way with the new tune that we got.

Haha, AMSOIL can be used. Meets the requirements easily.
Sorry.

[NormSky]

None of your "snake oils" are approved by GM.
