Your mileage may vary............

I am in the midst of a long-distance trip, East-central Alabama to Seattle, Washington. For most of the way, I have been recording my gas mileage. For your info, if interested.

Actual gas mileage, between fill ups, (not relying on the computer) miles divided by gallons:

1) 29.70

2) 31.30

3) 33.00

4) 29.75

5) 26.79

This is with a 2013, 6-speed stick, heavily laden, speeds between 70-80, over pool-table flat prairie and the Rocky Mts.

So was the 33 mpg tank experienced mostly in Kansas or Nebraska?

Interesting info. Thanks for posting.

I live in a rural area in NE lots of hills, stop and go rush hour and have been averaging 250 miles on a 1/2 tank or not quite 10 gallons....

Mixed city/hiway driving on a 50 mile round trip, I usually get around 350 miles on a 15-16 gallon fill-up. Nismo gearing doesn't help, but I'm not complaining. I wasn't expecting great gas milage.

Wow I wish I could 30mpg. Best for me is about 21. I guess I have a heavy foot.

I'm averaging 23 MPG. LA traffic is heavy on my commute.
