DX owners: What kinda gas mileage do you get?
#3
Mileage
When the car was new in 91 I could get 40-42 mpg on long open-raod trips to go hunting or fishing. This was typically Philadelphia to North-Central PA. No traffic, low speed limits, and hungry state troopers. Now it is about 30-32, but most of my driving is in heavy traffic but on Interstates.
#5
Just for reference, the EPA ratings for the DX/SE were 28/36 for the 5 speed and 24/31 for the auto. I got much better gas mileage when mine was new. The fact that the speed limit everywhere was 55mph probably helped.

errr, metric or standard
badass, i know you can't be using metric system, am i right? then where the hell you do your driving to get 37 to 48 mpg?
p.s. what cheap gas saver? i'm confused.. and a comparison, my gas mileage averages 13.5 to 15.6 mpg.. bout 180 miles until the fuel light comes on and it's under a 1/4 tank, lol

Winter 28-30 mpg, summer 32-34. Usually drive 300 miles before light comes on and I fill up, but there is always like 3-4 gallons left, so max range is probably around 400/tank. Its a stick shift also.
