I consistently get 9km/L right now, 11km/L on the highway. My driving style is aggressive and its not running properly so this should be on the low end. |

My rolling radius is off since I'm running on 15" rims, but I go about 230 miles before I fill up the tank. I run it down to about a quarter tank or less before refilling most of the time. I seem to be averaging 23 MPG, but again, that is most likely inaccurate. |

18-20 in town..a lot of slow short trips 28-31 on the highway
always good to check if your speedo gear is worn, it can make almost a 20% difference.. |

On my wagon, the speedometer itself is messed up. I pulled the gauge cluster out and did the test on the speedometer that the FSM says to do, and though it passed the test (I think it was continuity once per revolution), it warbles like crazy as it goes faster. Which is just what it does as I'm driving, in warmer weather it warbles and bounces when I hit about 65 mph, but in colder weather, it will bounce and jump all the time!  |

This thread is one way to introduce my wagon to y'all. I have an early '88 that I have had for 5-1/2 years. It had 129k miles when I got it and it now has 242k. I have pretty consistently gotten 28 to 29 MPG. I religiously fill the tank the same way each fillup and log my miles in excel to keep track. My drivetrain has the automatic with overdrive. I very rarely drive the interstate, but have a lot of miles on 4 lane highways. I live one mile off the nearest pavement and wish my driveway had gravel! Hence my handle - or is that an avatar, I am not much up on this technology. The '88's lack of sophistication suits this Georgian just fine. I am very grateful for the AWD and hope it lasts a lot longer. It has all original drivetrain with no mechanical problems (knock on wood). |

220.000 km. 10-12L/100km in the town and 8-10 on the highway. My driving style is a very agressive and i use my car in the very cold winter days (-30...-45 C) and i use auto-engine-start system for saving hot in winter. |

I'm now on the odometer 256000 km, an average consumption of 8-liter on the highway to the city 14ti at 100km, aggressive style of driving, manual gearbox allows much on gas consumption from 10 to 16 liters, respectively, for 100km run |

I just took mine across the mountains from Edmonton to Vancouver. Fully loaded with wife, son, whole hatchback full of stuff, 2 heavier touring bikes and one a 50 -puond ski pod with 50 lbs. in it. Driving about the speed limit, I did 8.5 l/100 km until Hope. For the Hope to Vancouver leg I had a tailwind, and must have been doing 6.5 to 7. I could not believe it.
Unloaded on the highway in Alberta I do 7.5 - 8. So I was surprised I did so well over the mountains. In town I use 11-13.5 per 100 km. But I live at the bottom of a big hill, and do lots of short trips involving 4 climbs out of the valley.
Cheers and Merry Christmas, Mark |

The best I ever got was while driving Interstate 10 in Mojave Desert between Riverside area and Phoenix; almost 32 mpg. Very hot during that trip, 120 F (~ 49 Celsius), which may have contributed to better engine efficiency. I've noticed my A-T drives better in hot weather.

I agree, my gas mileage takes a real dip in the winter time. Even on the highway the other day, I drove 400km 2x200km drives, and barely averaged 10km/L or 10L per 100km however you want to read it. =)
It was also -20C with about half that drive in very windy territory, gusts up to 90km/h. This thing holds the road pretty good in cross winds, especially if my suspension was better. |
