Do you guys usually get same MPG as EPA estimate?
from my experience highway MPG is mostly close to EPA estimate but city is almost never the same.
i have 2 cars 2014 Honda Civic and 2014 Honda CR-V
when i drive 100% city i get 14-15MPG with CR-V and 25MPG with civic
on highway i get 25 with CR-V and 38-40 with civic
I think 15 mpg city is pretty low for CR-V... what do you think?
I do drive in NYC and i`m not sleeping behind the wheel if you know what i mean...
My 2010 Corolla gets way better that its EPA estimate. It is supposed to get 34 on the highway and I typically get 37 to 38. I have occasionally gotten over 40mpg. My wife's CRV is supposed to get 26 on the highway and that is what it gets. I don't drive city so I have no idea if what either would be. My 92 4runner is rated at 15 highway and it gets 16 but when it was newer it got 19mpg.
Certainly depends on how you drive. On our 13 Equinox, I get about 22-23 in the city, EPA 22, and can get 33-34 hwy, EPA 32, but not at speeds over ~60. Driving 70-75 it drops to about 28. Now when my wife drives, it is 16-17 city if she is lucky!
It varies a lot on the kind of driving I do. I have a '07 Five Hundred which is rated at 21 city, 29 highway. I've gotten as low as 23 and as high as 28 in a tank depending on how much open road she gobbled up.
I tracked 36000 miles via refills on my 2012 Jetta TDi using fuelly.com and managed 43 mpg combined city/highway. Car was rated at 30 mpg city - 40 mpg highway. Realistically it achieved mid 30's in town, and 50 mpg on the highway. Best the computer ever calculated was 63 mpg, and the best mileage I averaged over an entire tank was 49 mpg.
During most of the week, I drive less than 10 miles total per day to the train station. My MPG is horrible, about 20 according to my Corolla's dashboard. During the weekend, when I don't have to deal with stop and go traffic, I average just under 40 mpg. The screen once said I got 44mpg on a mostly highway trip.
Combined, I manually calculate I get 28 MPG combined. I think it could be better if Atlanta traffic wasn't so horrible during the workweek. Overall, not that off.
I have a Civic and just got 57 MPG, which is 18 MPG above EPA HWY estimate of 39. I regularly get over 50 MPG so it's not a big surprise.
Even when I drive in the city I get around 35 MPG, which is 7 MPG above EPA estimate.
Either Honda underestimated the mileage or my car must be powered by camels.
