Default Mileage

Routinely on the highway I get 25 to 27 mpg, cruising at 72 to 78 mph. Assuming that the computer or whatever that calculates and displays in the info section of the nav is correct. The worst I have gotten is 21 mpg in mixed driving. I don't drive consistently fast, but fast when I want to. Luckily I'm at a point where it doesn't really matter, I drive, I pay, whatever it costs, not that I don't care but its just not an issue. I guess I should drive harder and faster Don't have a bunch of money, just enough I guess.

Cleaned my Throttle Body and MAF today and took the car for a drive. HUGE difference. Much more responsive..shifts gears smoother. Feels like there is more torque. These changes were instant after the cleaning and 10 minutes of idle. Will report back after I drive around a little to see if there is any difference in MPG. Cost me $11 for 1 can of MAF cleaner and 1 can of Throttle Cleaner. Worth every penny.

I gotta do the MAF clean. Also change or restore your air filter, that'll increase your fuel efficiency as well.

I do it once in a while when I feel like being naaaaughty. It just runs through the gears more aggressively and makes the car a little funner
