Daily Drivers and their Mileage

09 with 19k in a year and 3 months.
I miss the Z when i dont drive it for a day.
:P

I put on about six miles a day going to and from work. Never bothered to check gas milage. I bought it about a month ago, new, with 300 miles on it. It has about 800 miles on the clock.

2011 with 4K miles since March 1. It's my wife's DD and gets at least 25 mi per day just on the regular commute. Mostly highway + relaxed driving = 20-25 mpg at best. Spirited weekend driving = 10-15 mpg.

I'm not sure why I thought I should just let the car sit instead of driving it DD. Cars are made to be driven and in this day and age they don't just die at 100k mi anymore. I guess proper care is the key here.

Got it May 09 and now have 38k. Majority spent on I-45 or I-10 usually getting 26mpg. However my overall average covering all 1747gal used so far is 22mpg.

I've been driving mine for... 8 months and have put 9580 miles on it. 1600 miles of that was on the trip home from buying it. I'll probably put another 5-6k on it before the year is over.

Average MPG is around 17-18. (99% city and my my foot are to blame)

I purchased my 2010 in October and I am currently at 14K miles. I drive about 75 miles a day and average 23.7 mpg says the computer ( 90% highway )

TheGreatOne · 06-03-2011, 12:38 PM

2010 that what 18K on it

Started driving her March 15th and I'm at 21K now roughly. I should cut down on the joy riding with these gas prices but I can't help it

Always take the longer way no matter where I'm going.

My kpg is around 15, so I think I'm driving her well lol

I agree!

Had mine for 18 months and put around 27k on it. 54 mile daily commute, averaged ~20 mpg.

delusional · 06-03-2011, 01:29 PM

bought mine used but already put ~2000miles on it within 2months.

gbrettin · 06-03-2011, 04:33 PM

I bought my '09 Z w/ 10k on the odo late Jan '11. I drive ~110mi per day, if not more. My current odo reading is 26k. I live in MI and drive year around. I average 23.5mpg.

The key is maintenance. I have get an oil change every 1.5 month. During the winter I get an unlimited carwash package.

I love the car and want to drive the hell out of it. Who knows what the market will offer in the next 10 years.

I thought I put lots of miles on. You need to be doing it better and cleaner than the other guy. Now what is it with you?
