The (un)Official Gas mileage topic, A better format than before! Options

[phonex98]

Alright guys, because I've seen probably 8 different topics on what everybody's gas mileage is since i joined this site, I decided to make a more user friendly topic. For those trying to gauge whether or not their mileage truly is bad. If everyone would follow this format I'm sure it would help everyone.

Model: St [7afe]
Odometer: 310,000 km / 192 625 mi
Terrain: 50% mountains, 50% flat freeway
Gas effecting mods: Removed spare tire
Driving style: Spirited
Other: Mileage dependant on where i go that week (ie. If i don't hit the freeway, its worse)
Mileage: 8-9 L/100km, 26-30 MPG



*Note: 1 mi = 1.609344 kilometers
*Terrain = flat, hilly, mountains
*Driving style = Modest, spirited, aggressive (Or something else if these terms don't describe you)
* To convert mpg to L/100km type "x mpg to L/100km" into google if you want

I'm curious to see everyones mileage, so please reply!

[pure_dx]

1994 7afe
approximately 180,000 miles
90% flat, 10% hills
mods: i/h/e, 50-series tire
spirited and grandma style driving
32-35 if i'm driving like a grandma
28-31 if i'm driving spirited
5-spd manual trans

city and highway driving dont really matter much to me, i get pretty much the same mpg, why? because within city limits, i dont go past 3k on the tach, usually 2.5k, and on the highway, in order to do 70-80 mph cruising speed, i have to do over 3k.
