Gas mileage for the 1.8L V6

ToxicBug · Post by **ToxicBug** » September 24th, 2004, 12:47 am

Does anyone know the official gas mileage for the 1.8L V6? I've calculated mine to be exactly 10L/100km mixed highway and city 50/50. Is that far from the truth?

I do not know why but my Geo Storm GSi with 1.8 engine gets better mileage than the Mazda MX-3 with 1.6 engine.

Cool, 23mpg is ~10L/100km so thats pretty much what I got.

i dont know about you guys, but i would get a steady 28-30 mpg with my k8, with city and highway driving, even with my ZE engine and the exact same driving i still get around 28 mpg.

I get ~230 miles on full tank of gas in my 5spd GS

damn, thats just as crappy as my KLZE.

I get 21-23mpg city and 26-28 highway. I average about 24 overall on 93 octane

That is around what I get 300-350km per full tank. My car is however burning tons of oil now these days, the milage is quite high now.

I have a 92 gs 5 speed. And i get around 28 to 30 miles per gallon. And i drive about 80% city and 20% highway.

thats really not fair, i get like 17mpg with my 93 GS SE. Something must be wrong.

On my last tank of gas which was 80% highway driving at 125-140kph average I got 475KM and still had 10litres left. Probably about 40KM I had the gas light on.

i must have something terrible wrong because a full tank is gone after about 250kms and i have the 1.8L gs..... what the heck?
