4k for first gear. 3kish for all others.

maybe I should be shifting at a higher rpm?
I usually shift at 2500

 

[9thgizzyguy]

yeah between 3-4 k would be good for nomal driving i would think me and squiggy hitting closer to 30 city

You should probably shift closer to 3000. Otherwise, you could actually be using more gas trying to keep the rpms up because they are too low for the gear. Lower rpms does not necessarily equate less gas being used.

 

[9thgizzyguy]

very true it can cause the motor to slightly bog because there isnt enough load in the rpms when you change a gear

 

[TattooedJp75]

30.6 mpg holding strong. Mostly highway driving, but some stop & go.

More than likely it's your driving style, and not the car. Test: fill it up next to an interstate and get on the road and use cruise control all the way(100 miles or so), then pull off and fill up again next to the interstate. Use your phone calculator to find the average (miles divided by gallons = ).

I got about 45mpg once right after filling up, than I stopped going down hill, I have been getting at worst around 26mpg around town, and up to 35mpg on the highway. Overall average appears just under 29mpg, about 75% city driving / 25% highway.

 

[jassmi]

I average between 32.3 & 35MPG. Mostly highway with about 2 hours of very heavy traffic (1 hour into Boston & 1 hour out per day)
