The STi and Fuel Consumption - Page 13

As for 27 mpg in town, good for you, but I cannot understand how this is possible (short of being towed everywhere). Even my MS3 only got 22 mpg at best in town despite getting upwards of 30 mpg on the road.

I don't know how you can get 27 mpg in boston, but congrats if it's true. Have you verified your mpg with fuel filling measurements?

27 mpg in town ? I am impressed, whats the secret?

Be Honest Now.........Did any one really buy a STi to save fuel.

Daily commute 18 to 20 mpg.
Highway 23-25 mpg

I can live with those numbers because the STi is so much fun to drive.

Will try out the DCCD rear set next road tip and see what happens.

I could live with them too; how do I get them?

why isn't it good, the drivetrain doesn't chatter, plus I turn getiing good fuel economy into a gam to keep me from unleashing the gear ripping beast that I become

that is pretty sad. the secret to turbo motors is that the turbo increases your displacement as well as increases your motors efficiency.

For the last week I've been driving using the S+ map setting 95% of the time (S the remainder), and my computer mpg is about two tenths better (might as well say almost identical for that's what I get when I fuel it up) than when I had used the "Intelligent" setting almost exclusively. I will continue using S+ until things change for the worse; however, I still think that something is wrong when "I" map setting can't produce better mpg than "S+".

What I haven't seen mentioned too much is what mpg do you guys get with the a/c turned on? does it impact this car as much as others?

with my sentra if I turn on the a/c I get horrid power and mpg
