Post your City MPG!

[jasonck08]

Ok so I think I've been getting really crappy City MPG for my 4 cylinder 89 camry.

I would say over that past 6 months, my average City MPG is 21.5MPG...

On the highway I can get up to about 30MPG...

But on my last tank I was driving VERY conservativly and using hypermiling techniques and I still only got about 22MPG...

Wondering if somethings wrong with my car, because I would think I should be getting at least 25MPG.

I drive to work, 4 miles each way, and then other minor trips in the city. My AC is on 50% of the time at full blast.. because its freaking hot heare gets up to like 110F.

Anyways let me know what you guys are getting!

There are many threads on this subject... you should be able to find a lot of info by just searching.

That said, your 4-mile commute is killing your gas mileage. Your car will run extra rich for the first mile or two of every trip.

You are only short by a bit on your highway mileage for a 4-cyl auto...

Is 21.5 MPG really that bad? I get roughly 23.5 MPG or 10L per 100km. I never do highway kms though, all stop-start city

Edit: This is with a m/t and my trips are usually short, usually no more than 6 km's one way.

for a four mile commute. 30 mph is good for highway. Short trip stop-and-go will kill gas mileage, even on Toyotas. 22-26 mpg in town, 30mpg highway.

Oh, righty-o. I thought it was okay, my manual states 9.6L/100km, but then i started searching for other people's fuel economy and was shocked. So many people getting 25-30mpg in city :O And yeah, i sometimes let loose and mash that pedal to the ground hehe xD Even though i go nowhere haha

I get 24-26 MPG in New York. 11 miles each way, 70% hwy going, 30% hwy coming home. Car runs great but I wonder If I'm getting pinging with 87 octane.

Lol no. I hit alot more traffic on the ride home from work so I take a different way home. Roads are clear going to work though.

Did some longer trips last tank and got a whopping 7.6L/100km (31MPG) :O Very pleased. At least 50% was freeway driving where i was pretty constant with the throttle and going +70km/h most of the time.
