For those who are lucky enough to have got their Spark. What is the mpg ya'll getting?

 

[joehornback]

I got 29 on tank 1, 35 on tank two, and 33 on tank three. I'm still working on tank 4, but expect to be between 33 and 35...

 

[joehornback]

how much of that is highway and city?

I wound up with 34.1 on the 4th tank. It's a mixed bag about 60/40% of highway/city

My commute is 10 miles one way, about 7 highway at 55 MPH and the rest is in town.

 

[joehornback]

Not too bad at all! What's your driving style like? and anything else that would factor into getting the MPG you did?

I'm 46 years old, so I'm definitely not hot rodding it, and it wouldn't hot rod even if you tried. That's just regular driving with 5 speed.

 

[joehornback]

i bet it would be hard/near impossible to "hot rod" these cars

I will say that as the little engine breaks in it seems to have a bit more power. Sitting at 1500 miles now and

I just got mine today and put about 120 miles on it, engine smells pretty hot. Can't wait to see what I average for the first tank?

I just filled up today for the 1st tank. The computer said 38.5/mpg. But when I figure it went 340 miles on the odometer and it used 8 gallons, that comes out to 42.5. I did mostly hwy driving, but a lot of it is in traffic/construction like it always is in a minnesota summer. Not too bad, I'll be happy if it stays around there.

So if that was highway driving but a highway that is full of traffic and construction, that is really good. Just imagine if it all was smooth sailing! 50MPG? hmmm

I HIGHLY doubt anyone can get 50MPG's, low 40's at the highest.
EPA rates it @ 38 highway.

 

[MNSPARK]

I've filled up 3 times so far, 38.5 on the first, 42.5 on the second, and 40.7 on the 3rd. Not to bad, I'm happy with that.

You are getting a salsa spark! Nice! That is the one I just got
I am getting 38 average. So it is not bad!

Salsa seems to be a popular color for the Spark, I spotted 2 of them today within an hour!

 

[MNSPARK]

Just filled my 4th tank and got 40.1mpg.

 

[joehornback]

I got 41.1 on my last tank and 36.7 on the tank prior to. It seems to be getting better each time. It probably won't improve much over 41.1 I suspect but I'll keep you posted.

 

[MNSPARK]

Just filled my 5th tank and got 41.1mpg.

 

[ChevySparkFan]

Nice you got your Spark! what color and do you have a name for it yet?

You should get a thread going on what people named their spark
Would be interesting to see what names people came up with!

 

[MNSPARK]

I call her "SPARKY", she's denim blue. I got 38.5mpg on my fill up today.

 

[chrisvy]

What kind of gas are you using?

 

[chevysub]

Would it be okay to use premium fuel? Some guys I know with newer cars running 4 cylinders said they got better performance and a bit better gas mileage using 91.
