Gas Mileage??

[firerob]

Hi All,
I am contemplating a purchase of A new Coupe. The little woman is concerned about the mileage, as the car will be for a long commute. I want the V6 and she the 4. Please give me all your true mileage you have been getting on both modeld

I'll put it this way. I commute 37 miles to and from work 5 days a week. I leave for work Friday and my last drive home is Tuesday night. I drive mostly highway miles. I usually can drive 4 and a half days without needing to fill up. It's a bigger tank than my Tiburon. My Tiburon would be 4 days. If I don't go anywhere on my 2 days off in my car than I don't have to get gas as often either.

So point black, I don't really know what the real mileage. I can tell you it's honestly better than what the sticker said. Whenever I fill up my tank, the gas gauge will say anywhere from 280 to 340 miles to the gallon.

There are MPG reports for the coupe here and a few more here.

I travel 100 miles a day for work. I am getting about 22-23 MPG. I normally fill up about 3 times a week.

I travel only 6 1/2 miles to work, r/t of 13 along with running around town in between and I am getting around 17.6 mpg with the V6...just to be fair I should mention...I don't do too much highway driving....mostly city and I fill up pretty much every 2 weeks...but on the other hand, I seem to be getting the same mileage as my 4 cylinder Mazda 6 which I just traded in for this car. Very strange because that car was supposed to be getting 24 mpg in the city, well at least according to the sticker when I purchased the car. I never actually tried to figure out the mpg I was getting on that car, but I can tell you that I am still driving the exact same amount of miles each week (I'm still at the same job) and I was also filling up the Mazda every 2 weeks. The only difference is that the Mazda 6 has an 18 gallon fuel tank and the Genesis has a 17.2 gallon tank...really not much of a difference, yet I seem to be still filling up in the same amount of time. I really don't think the Mazda was getting anywhere near the mileage they claimed it would get. I was a little concerned about the gas since I was trading up from a 4 cylinder to a 6 cylinder...but now that I see that my Mazda really wasn't getting the mileage I thought it was...I am very relieved that I am not really spending any more on gas with the larger engine of my Genesis.

Just came back from a trip from NJ to W Va to NC then back. Gas mileage ranged from 30-33.7. Our car (3.8) is 2 1/2 months old. Great on trips!

With my 3.8 GT and all highway mileage (at 75-80mph) I can eek out a 30 - 32mpg. If most of my driving is in town or in the city it goes down to about 25 - 28mpg. And if I play hard then I'll see 22 - 23 mpg.

My trip to work is 16 miles and under hilly terrain with stop and start driving at beginning and end of trip. I get 21-23 mpg. I haven't really taken it out on interstate driving to see what it would get.
