zking67 1 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have to say I LOVE the spark! awsome little toy. I got the pink one< and I find that people are WAy less agressive towards it,,they dont ride up my back bumper on the highway and I can actually merge in. guess that the pink calms them down plus I have a reflective siker on the back bumper like on large semis. My best mileage so far is 42 MPg mostly highway, I got 40.2 this past fillup! 20% City /80% HWy. I can't wait until the car is broken in. I Calculate the milage on full tanks, pump only until pump cuts off..no overfill or rounding off. BEST TOY EVER!! Link to post Share on other sites
austex04 48 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) I suggest joining fuelly.com to track mpgs, and to give perspective buyers an idea to real world mileage. My best tank so far has been 37mpgs, because I drive mostly local hwy and city, as well as having a heavy foot. Those who have visited this city know about it's awful traffic problems and even worse drivers. My hwy mpgs will probably never go beyond 40, because the speed limits are too high to get that. My next trip to Louisiana should give some impressive numbers, since it involves 2 lane hwys with 55mph limits. Edited May 7, 2013 by austex04 Smikster 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smikster 10 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Best tank full to empty 46MPG! (tip to tip in oklahoma at 50mph 80% of the time) Link to post Share on other sites
TN Frank 10 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Our average mileage has reached a new high: 39.0 MPG. It ticked up to 38.9 a couple of weeks ago after we got our first oil change (Dexos Synthetic Blend). It's a 2 LT with automatic. The odometer is just coming up on 5,000 miles in a little over four months. We do mostly rural driving, but have lots of hills. The Spark just keeps getting better and better!

Greg_E 211 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I have a little over 10,000 miles and with the warmer weather and different wind pattern I've been averaging over 41 for the last couple of tanks. Of course it's almost snowing again and I had a head wind in the way to work so this tank will be lower, sitting at almost 42 on the computer and need to fill it tomorrow.

Jeph Swift 3 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Mine seems so depressing. I seem to average about 33. 32.9 right now. It seems to get better on the highway, but not much. I may be doing something wrong. I know that traveling at high RPMs decreases gas mileage. I'm cruising at maybe 2400 and that's completely different than my.previous car which was a 2000 Malibu that would cruise at about 1700. I don't do much highway driving anymore, but I do have a short commute on essentially a non stop road. I could be getting better MPG, but getting it is the problem. Any ideas?

Greg_E 211 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 How many miles do you have on the car? It doesn't really start opening up until after about 2000 miles. Link to post Share on other sites
Jeph Swift 3 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Ahhhh, I have about 780 Or so miles Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just got 46.3mpg after 142.9 miles, had favorable weather the last two days and decided to fill early. The computer showed 44.7mpg, about 30% city with a giant third gear hill I have to climb each day going to work. Smikster 1 Link to post Share on other sites
