23 around town 29 HW

- I catch myself filling up at 240 miles most of the time... weird...

 

Last couple times i'm only getting 220 mi. to the tank, filling up 11. My commute is short only like 6 mi. to work and i'm going like 80-90 on the freeway. I guess that would explain it. hehe

 

Usually average about 25 mpg +,-

 

this sounds right to me...24 MPH mixed driving (not THAT much VTEC)
i've never heard of 30 MPG on this car....do you guys not VTEC.....drive 55 MPH on the freeway?

 

- I 'baby' my shit...

 

I normally get 23 mpg on my commute (70-90mph expressway drive). The only time I've ever topped 30 mpg was with the top up and cruising 55-60 mph. I let my son take the car to the prom and ended up getting well under 20 mpg on that tank. Should have known better!

 

That's what you'd have to do to get 30. The time I got this I drove from Philly to Rochester,ny 360 miles all increadible clear open roads. It was like everyon on the planet died I was getting spooked out. Now you would think that I'd be going 150 the whole way but it was really a crule joke god played on me that day. I was in need of new tires and it was raining hard. I never went faster than 55 until I hit the NYturpike then the rain let up. So for the most part I was driving like a little BETCH.

 

260 miles before i fill up again is the norm here...sometimes i can get about 280....but this is driving like miss daisy on the highway
