Mileage query:

When I first got my car mid-August in Florida, high air conditioning use I was getting 51-53 MPG. Now, 2000 miles later in November, hardly any AC, and I am hovering around 46-47 MPG.

Why? I would have thought it would be the other way around.

For me the first tank of the month was too depressing! :|

Seriously, I just don't bother posting here any more since my single tanks have little meaning....other than as an indirect indicator of the weather.

Today's fill suffered from both pump-difference & bladder-effect. So I got a gallon less in there than I normally would have. It won't be until the end of the month before I'll be able to draw a decent conclusion about a November MPG average. Sorry.

So far, so great for me in November! I got the car at the end of Feb - so if my mileage can stay here for 9 months out of the year, I'll take it!

11/17
Tank miles: 561
Total miles (odo): 17705 (real) 18389
Car MPG: 52.1
Gals filled: 11.271
Miles over blinking gauge: 49.0

I could've filled more, suprisingly, but there was a car behind me waiting, and I didn't want to upset him with too much babying of the bladder.

The last time I filled less than 11 gallons in the tank was 8/14. The last time I got in less than 10 was in May, filling up before a road trip.

Less expressway driving than before, and it shows.

Brand new (one week) owner. Yes I filled up early, I wanted to see what the MPG was in comparison to the calculation shown in the computer. We have been going back and forth with rain and sun but the temp has remained constant.
Tank Miles: 211
Overall Miles: 215
Fillup to the brim: 4.2 gallons
Avg Tank Mileage: 50.2
Avg Overall Mileage: 50.2
Avg shown by computer: 43.2
Avg Temperature: 50
Price per Tank:
Avg Price per Gallon: $1.98

This tank ran mostly back and forth to work (17 mixed miles each way) and one trip for Thanksgiving. We'll see if it holds up.

Somehow this ended up being my highest miles driven month yet (1662). Probably a combo of starting to count November at the time of my last fill up in Oct.--th 25th, and a trip out of town of a couple hundred miles.

4 Tanks, 31.322 gallons, overall MPG for the month was an amazing 53.1mpg !! And that was with 1 sub-50mpg tank (47.7 calc). Temps have varied, but it's been a pretty wet cool month with some 'snowflake' weather but some days in the high 60s. Typical Ozarks weather.

That compares to a year ago, my first full month of ownership, at 45.2mpg (2 tanks, 764 miles).

My lifetime MPG remains at 50.9mpg over ~15k miles (it was almost 51mpg, but I had to be honest in my rounding).
