The rpms sound about right for that speed, but 25 mpg seems very low. Is this a recent occurance, or have you always gotten 25 mpg?
I just bought it yesterday and filled car up I drive around 160-200 miles a day for work figured this car be good a gas. The car said average 25.0 I figured it was messed up so I refilled car up and it got 25 mpgs.
The guy I bought car from said he just had injectors cleaned and recall on spark plugs/boots replaced not to long ago I noticed when I'm n third gear and get to about 3000 rpms car acts like it cuts out all than picks back up running fine
For reference:
My 2010 Aveo5 would average about 38mpg with the cruise at 65mph...but that was after the car was warmed up, without the AC on, and the tires at 40psi. I could easily get down to mid 20's when I got up around 80mph.
My car also had a flat spot in the mid range but it was not as pronounced as you describe.
Sorry GM, the Turbo Sonic was priced too close to the Focus ST. I gots me a Ford.
If i stayed that slow (i'm not hypermiler material) i get in the low 30s for mpg. I have an 09 too, which my understanding the 10+ has a slightly taller 5th gear So your really only talking 1-2 mpg difference between years, but its mostly in technique.
What kind of gas do you use? I have found that if i use bp, shell or sunoco I get much better mileage that using sheetz or getgo (both local discount gas). I have noticed almost a 4-5 mpg difference running the cheap stuff.
I have a 2009 with a manual transmission and 105K miles. I drive 120 miles per day mainly highway and I get 33-35 MPG and do not go much above 65 MPH
I use Murphy gas I just found out today my odometer is off by 5mph so if I set cruise at 70 I'm really doin 75 I set cruise at 65 n got 34mpg than ran into stop lights n dropped down to 26-28mpg
are your strictly going by some sort of gauge? or are you calculating at fill ups/mileage?
at moment im going by the average it shows on dash havent filled up and checked my own calculations ive only had car since monday n just filled up once
