Your late Fall/Early Winter Fuel Mileage Figures

My '99 Acura TL(141K miles) has dropped to the 24-25 mpg in daily driving, and 27-28 mpg in highway driving.

The POS '96 Dodge Insipid(3.5L V-6, 203K miles) is lucky to see 21-22 mpg this time of year. About 24-25 mpg on the highway.

Thank God both a long paid for and gas is down to $1.899.

Oh lawd, talk about fuel mileage gives me the heebeejeebees...

I have a 2000 F350 4X4 gets around 10 mpg around town and can get as good as 16 or 17 mpg on the highway, but I do very little highway driving, so it really doesn't matter much...

I also have a 76 F350 cab and chassis with a dump bed, have owned it for around 10 years or so and finally decided to check the fuel efficiency of it for the first time about 2 weeks ago, I'll never do that again. On one tank of gas it came out to 4.6 mpg

I have a 2005 Ford Taurus. I've never actually checked the mileage, but the dashboard computer tells me it's 17.5!! Could be better, I think. It's only a 3.2 liter V-6.

My 2004 Dodge Intrepid SXT gets about 24 mpg highway which is pretty good considering it's got a high output 3.5l engine and I don't exactly have a light foot.

My wife's 1995 Dodge Intrepid gets just over 30 mpg highway with the 3.3l engine.

demonicmale i have a'97 f350 powerstroke 4 door 4x4 that gets the same mileage and only 140k on it. i also have '75 f350 dually dump with a 360 ci that also gets about 5 mpg. thought it was cool that we have the same trucks.

My 2007 Prius averages a bit over 51 mpg , I'm just starting to see the cold-weather decline. It's pretty sensitive to air temperature and will get down to the mid-40s during the coldest part of winter.

Our 2005 Sienna AWD averages about 17, driving carefully on the highway I can get it to about 21 mpg.

RainbowDemon, your Taurus should be getting more than 17.5. Did it do a lot better in the summer?

My 2000 has the 5.4 liter and the 76 has a 351M with a 2 barrel carb, damn thing is a turd, can barely get out of its own way

Both of them have over 100k miles on them

It's not cold here yet, but my cherokee is getting about 18 mpg overall.

i quit driving my '83 chev pick up last year. 9 mpg 350ci 4bbl with 60,000 mi, so it sits parked in my back yard.

and gas here is still around $2.25/gal. we're getting ripped off.

The vehicle I have with the best mileage is a 1993 GMC 4X4 short bed pickup it gets 16.5 MPG, Ford F150 about 14.5, 2002 Ford Expedition 13.6, 2007 Escaalde 16.1 1963 Corvette about 8 MPG.

2006 freightliner century classic with a detroit 60 series (14 liter inline 6 cylinder) engine.

loaded @ 40 ton (80,000 lbs) 4.5 - 6.5 mpg
empty @ 16 ton (32,000 lbs) 7.8-8.5 mpg
Bobtail @ 9 ton (18,000 lbs no trailer) 11 mpg

funny thing is , the engine only has 450-515 hp's , but it does have 1450-1800 ft/lb torque

my jeep gets about 18 mpg... my 1971 camaro, when we had it on the street got about 2 1/2 to 3 mpg... and the camaro ran on 116 octant that cost $65.00 dollars for 5 gallons....

2006 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab NISMO is avg 16.5 per tank but when most of the mileage is highway I get about 18.5 while avg 72 mph. Love that 4.0L V6, good power and good gas mileage.

Also have a 2005 XTerra with same drivetrain and Miss LeadFoot is avg 18mpg per tankful and mostly rush hour stop and go traffic.

Let Detroit fail as Smyrna, TN does it better.

Just got my car back from the shop (yay new axle, tires and coolant system & alignment; boo money), so I'll get an estimate in a couple days.

I hit the highway for about 30-50 miles a day going to/from school, so I get decent mileage.

Probably one of two 3.0L V-6s: the 12 valve or the 24 valve. And, those onboard mileage computers are seldom, if ever, right. I'm guessing you're probably in the low 20s. I've rented the last generation of Taurus/Sable many times and that was my findings.
