Did you shift @ 1800rpm? Seriously, I NEVER go over 1/8 throttle, 4eat shifts early... I counted my 0-20 time to be more like 10seconds... After I had earlier posted 5-6...

And its harder to get good gas mileage in a manual than in an Auto... I also RARELY break 45mph... Only downhill while engine breaking....

When I drove Paris like this I got ~29-30mpg out of the 2.5 .... But that RARELY happens, She normally gets between 16-18....


Ok... Not to mention, My dad gets about 28-29 mpg with his 04 Nissan SER-Spec-V... I drove that for one week... And I was interested in what gas mileage it could get commuting from Greenwich to Troy...
I was able to get 35.5 MPG with that car, by driving it as ECONOMICALLY as I could... People behind you get pissed when you drive economically, but hey, I like pissing people off!!!!

Yup right around there, and would coast it on every downhill as well. I was pulling out all the stops my engine musta been more beat. Who knows what the previous owner did to it, I got it at 113K miles so it had plenty of time for abuse to happen. Not to mention I wasnt the kindest to that car when I was not trying to get good gas milage.

In the Bravada I get about 21-22mpg on the highway and about 16mpg in the city.

In the Cabrio we get like 32mpg on the highway and about 26mpg around town.

i really never pay attention to it at all. I only said 13.3 because its what the truck tells me I'm getting
