If you drive a 2009 Lancer Gts automatic with paddle shifters this is a question for you.

Wat avg kms you get with a full tank of gas?

With mostly city driving? With mostly highway driving?

My first tank of gas after driving mostly 95 percent city and the first 150 kms my foot was a bit heavy so i was wasting a bit of gas, i should get about 450 - 480kms.... is that avg?

I know they say that its 10.1 L / 100 km in the city , so that should be 580 kms in the city and 7.1 L / 100 km on the highway, so thats 820kms.

i have a manual 09 GTS and would get 20mpg city and 31mpg highway... I just got slightly wider then stock tires tho and my mileage has gone down significantly, I get about 18mpg city and 27mpg highway now

Love to hear about this. A lot of guys are reporting some improvemnets by modding the engine too. Lets see posts.

I'm not sure how one checks the mileage but I can tell you that driving on the highway I can get to Toronto from here (1h45m drive-ish) on a quarter tank of gas.

I drive all day for work city and highway...I'm averaging about 10.2 - 11.2 per 100km

09 manual 2.0L i4

i was at around 10 driving city (about 30% of the time in stop and go traffic)
and 9.2 highway

after my injen cold air intake
8.5 city
7.6 highway

w/ RRM pulley 8.2city and 7.3highway

this is w/o spirited driving

hmm, i've always thought intakes contributed to better mileage - more air vacuumed = more efficient combustion, no? unless more air = more fuel required for combustion but i couldve sworn i read somewhere that intakes yield better mpg.

He is getting better mpg. the lower the L/100km the better.

rontam90

oh true. i normally calculate it by KMS / liter in my head, and i thought thats what he was using too

With my CVT, I'm getting about 540-560kms on a tank of gas before my light comes on. That's with the new K&N typhoon intake. It added about 50 kms to a tank of gas. About 70% of my driving is in the city.

haha yea brad's right it was in L/100km sorry i 4got to specify that

We'll blame it on being late @ night

i get about 600-650 per tank. i have an intake, exhaust, pulley, short shifter and a driver who knows his car! LOL

also keep in mind winter tires will give you up to a 5% performance hit so your fuel economy will suffer. I already see this reflected in my cars MPG
