In the real world what kind of gas mileage are you getting with your KK?

Highway?
Mixed Highway/city
Towing?

I average with a 2008 stock about 19-23 MPG with about 60% hwy, 40% city. It mostly depends on how I drive her :twisted:

FIRST POST!!!!

I have a 2010 Sport with the tow package and all terrain tires (17 inch? I can grab the numbers in the morning).

I got it in March. Been getting consistently about 15.5 mpg in city driving (daily 10 mile commute to DC). Just took a trip to Chattanooga, and it averaged 21 mpg on the trip down (avg speed about 75 mph).

Bottom of Cap Hill. Senate side.

I drove back to DC today, and experimented with the cruise control set at 69 the whole way. First tank (Chattanooga to Abingdon, VA) was 23.4 mpg. From Abingdon to Harrisburg, VA I used 1/2 a tank and got 24 mpg.

I use an iPhone app to record every fill up.

Hoping mine has gone up, after taking everything off my roof today. (just the two antennas and the Thule rack now).

I have a 2008 Sport, stock w/ a K&N intake. Here in Atlanta i usually get between 15-16 around town. I don't do much interstate driving on a regular basis, but the best i've gotten is around 19-20, but i tend to have a heavy foot.

Knightrider03m · **Posted:** Fri May 13, 2011 10:46 pm

I'm headed to DC next week. Chaperoning my son's 6th grade class trip to DC. Scheduled tour of Cap Tuesday just prior to lunch.

While bone stock and new, I was seeing upwards of 22.5 highway and 18 city. With lifte, tires, roof cross bars, air dam removed I get 14/19. Just filled up yesterday and calculated 16.5 combined. Don't even ask when I am loaded with trailer and kayaks :goink:

InfernoRedKK · **Posted:** Sat May 14, 2011 1:15 pm

Bone stock with the lower air plastic thing removed I get 17.07 mpg on average that is an average 251.61 miles on a tank of gas. The app I use also tells the average cost per mile and that is $0.19 per mile.

This is the app I use it is for android but good https://market.android.com/details?id=com.evancharlton.mileage&feature=search_result

2011 Renegade: I get between 15-15.5mpg. suburban driving with a little highway thrown in. 3500 miles so far and hoping the mpg's improve a bit but not holding my breath...

Highway is generally somewhere in the range of 19-23, depending on weather and such. Combined has been about 15-18, although it can be even lower if I take a lot of short trips. I never have a fill up with no highway driving at all, so not sure what I'm getting in city-only, but probably very bad.

Towing my ~3500 lb travel trailer I get from 10.5-11.5 on the highway. That depends heavily on how fast I'm driving - during the break-in period when I was only going 50 mph I got around 13.5, which is a significant difference all things considered. Normally I drive around 60 with the trailer.

Highway: Sucks
Mixed Highway/city: Sucks a lot
Towing: Sucks more then a cheap hooker on a Friday night. :lol:
