[JC'szx2]

how far do you drive to work and how many mpg's do you get in your daily driver?

60 round trip 20mpg aprox 3g of gas

[ZX2 S/R Black]

I think it's like 20 miles round trip for my first job and around 10 for the 2nd job...

Only 20 mpg normally... lately 18-19 mph :(

I don't know what's wrong with my car

[SoCalZX2]

I work 40 miles round trip and I'm getting about 33mpg

[tre2000zx2]

about 20 miles or so each way and i average 33ish in my dd blue zx2 ... the turbo car.. UGH... TERRIBLE milage .. I dont even do the math its so depressing.. now my vw A1 deisel gets like 45-50.. but it takes about 5 extra mins to get to work..lol

[JC'szx2]

^ 33's not to bad my DD is 87' Jeep comanche 4X2 2.5 IL4, 4 speed mtx, top speed 65 down hill with a tail wind 20mpg

[SoCalZX2]

See, I'd like to know how these people are getting 40mpg+ in their Z's... lol

[WickedZ]

I live at work so I guess 0 mpg and 0 feet to work LOL

[gunman_sr5]

120 miles round trip. 32 - 37 in the ZX2.

[david gettle]

17 miles each way... most recent tank of gas, a little over 32MPG, (that was 300 miles ago) the only car I have is the ZX2.

Winter driving can be as low as 28MPG, the warmer the outside air temp the better my gas milage is. The highest milage I've gotten for a full tank of fuel was 50.79MPG June of 2006

[ImCrazy]

i drive about 5 miles to work, most of my driving is city on my last tank i got 28mpg. summer blend ftw!

[ImCrazy]

Oh and I don't drive concervativly most of the time however I don't redline every shift either.

[Exodia]

46 mile round trip. I average 33 MPG in the summer, and 28 in the winter, damn cold Ohio air.

[needfasp3ed]

I drive about 20 miles round trip and i get about 25 mpg.

[Bos Engel]

Delivery driving (75 miles average per day) the worst stop and go, start and stop driving you can image in the Focus.

27mpg average

Got 52mpg on my last road trip.

[MindSpinZX2]

24 mile round trip to my first job
My second job is delivering pizzas so it varies alot..
Average about 27 mpg

[Boss122]

About 6 miles to work. I drive over a mountain then get on the highway and do 85 MPH for a couple miles. My gas mileage varies, but its usually between 27 and 30 MPG. Yea, the ZXTuner tranny kills my mileage at 85 MPH.

[iceracer]

About 20 miles with mixed traffic. 16+ with the Jeep Liberty. 28 t0 30 with the SR.
Starting and stopping is what kills gas milage. Driving 65mph instead of 85 helps a lot.

[Jaybird]

About 8 miles with 6.5 of it on the highway. Never really did check out my mpg's for it, but it seems around 26-28.

[Zx2 puller]

about 20 miles round trip mine varies from 10.8-13.4mpg in my 02 dodge ram. sad part is my v 10 ram wasn't much worse.

[random_hero]

. Driving 65mph instead of 85 helps a lot.


So true. When I make my trip from Buffalo NY to Upstate NY, over 300 miles, I used to go about 85 mph the whole way. The next time I tried about 70. the mpg's jumped considerably

[dean]

22 miles round trip about 65-70 mpg the last time i checked

[ImCrazy]

cruise control can help alot too, too bad I don't have it arghgnigniwg.

[SnowBoardinWNY]

So true. When I make my trip from Buffalo NY to Upstate NY, over 300 miles, I used to go about 85 mph the whole way. The next time I tried about 70. the mpg's jumped considerably

Damn dude, how do you do that, I can't even control my foot to keep it under 80.


Going to and from work is about 14 miles all together. I haven't really gotten an accurate reading on my mpg's this year since I got my new wheels on so we will see.

[99S/R]

My old work car (93 Miata with 205K on it) got 30 on a 40 mile round trip commute. Current ride 17mpg, but I will start useing the ZX2 tomorrow :)
