This is my 4th fill up of gas. I put on 187.37 miles and put 13.476 gallons in the tank. Thats 13.90 MPG. I guess it was a fluke that I once got 18.5 MPG. I hope that will all change with the weather (once it warms up).

It seems to me that you're living up to your name. Highway I get about 30mpg and putting around town gets me about 18-19mpg. I know for a fact that I've used a whole tank in about 190 miles, but that was giving it WOT at every occasion around town (LS1/M6). I don't know how much of an effect the temp has on mileage. I doesn't get that cold here.

Ive been going easy on it. I do give it some gas sometimes but I go easy most of the time.

Either you are doing nothing but city driving, are lying to us, or have a very different definition of going easy on it. I've seen about 18 mpg in my GTO before it was taken away from me (grumble) on about 60/40 highway to city driving. At the same point, I was NOT going easy on it.

The reformulated gas up here in winter also lends to bad fuel economy as does cold weather.

 

[DevilYellow]

You are using 93 octane right?

 

[speed_demon_freak]

Well I have 837 miles on the car and Ive filled it up 4 times. Its been below freezing for the last 3 weeks with temps below 0 for about a week. Here in Chicago we use reformulated gas which sucks ass for performance. As for my driving I do mostly city driving. I dont floor it when I start off, I keep it about 10mph over the speed limit so I wont get a ticket and even on the highway I keep it about 15 over the limit. I'm just going to wait until spring to see if it improves.

It's all driving habits and weather. Cold weather will kill your MPG just like driving with a lead foot.

Average MPG Calculations???? Does anybody know?

can the trip computers on the 2005 GTO be "personalized" so that average MPG calculations are maintained as a moving average over a number of gasoline fill ups?

Don't count on the weather, check the tread depth of the rear tires instead

Sounds about right, I get 14.8 mpg doing 90% city driving...These cars are gas guzzlers.

 

[blue05]

Holy thread jump batman.

I am getting about 18.5. I do about 100 miles of highway driving everyday and have 4500 miles on my 05, and it is an auto.

Yes, just don't reset the computer when you fill up...it continues to roll on and on.

I at mid-13s as well, but Im usually pretty mean to it.

I have to think and work my M6 around town to break 14 mpg. If I "just drive it" I get more like 12 mpg city, 20-24 highway.

34k miles, I had one sheriff's deputy pull up beside me to tell me he loved the exhaust note, no other LEO attention.

I have been getting about 14mpg driving to work and back with average MPH at 30, and I got almost a 400 mile range with a fillup of 17gallons on the way to Maryland and back.

I'm pretty hard on the throttle but I average 320 miles per tank. I got 19.8 yesterday to Chy town and back. If I behave I can get 21.6 Hwy 17 is average for the City

 

[Lil Cosmos GTO]

If u are getting 13 mpg and think u r driving easy, I would not wish to be riding with u if u were driving it hard. Or maybe, I would. Something to ponder.

 

[GoatRoper]

When it is in the mid-100's (Las Vegas) around here I only get about 12-14 mpg driving it easy enough to activate the 1-4 cags. THese things eat gas like lineman at a buffet when it's 118 out.

Anyone have any driving tips for getting the best milage out of an m6?
