13.8 MPG in the city!!!!
Hi All,
I am at 8000 miles and on the last tank I filled, I got 13.8 miles per gallon (91 Octane)!
I'm thinking maybe my car has a problem I don't know of! Anyone else getting about the same $hitty MPG I'm getting just from city driving?
Should I take it to the stealership? What do you guys think the problem (if any) could be?
EDIT 1: I mean this car is supposed to get between 15-19 in the city based on driving habits! But 13.8 doesn't sound right!
EDIT 2: 13.8 MPG is what I get with the A/C off!

From reading all the posts regarding MPG, I realized 2 things:
1. you get better MPG with a manual (obvious as everyone knows) but the differences are significant 3-4 mpg.
2. when you drive in city (LA for example) and short distances (less than 10 miles) you get HORRIBLE mpg - around 14 or 15....

Not as far as mileage goes
I think you're correct. The huge gap in MPG is primarily in Hwy. mileage, but 6MT is better in the city too depending on your driving habits.

I also think MPG does depend on the number of time you actually start up the car!! Agree?

Right idea...wrong reason.
