Fuel Efficiency
I was just wondering, what kinda mileage, on average, are you stock Festiva owners getting? Automatic or Manual trans.

93 Manual 5 speed: mid 20's to mid 30's. Depends a lot on driving habits of the time. -
My 1990 5 speed gets on the avg. 36 city and 48 hwy.
Best ever was 50.5 in PA. @ a steady 60 mph------------------------------------------------

Mine varies a little between Winter and Summer. Basically low 40's in the Winter and Mid 40's in the Summer. Best I ever did was on a trip from Philly to Ithaca, NY cruising at around 70 MPH's and got 49.8 MPG's. I'll bet I could break the 50 mpg's mark if I could slow down a little (but safety first). I do better on average than my co-worker with his Prius! and I don't have near the investment - LOL! I have a 93 EFI - 5 speed. My driving is about 2/3 highway and 1/3 city.Last edited by roycehof; 05-13-2008, 06:01 PM.Comment
