Ditto for me on this!! If it was time to buy a new car, it would again be an XB again because I love it!! I originally bought the '06 xB because I was taking...
How do you get 40 mpg with your gen 1 xB ? I've got an '06 with the 5 speed and am lucky if I get 28 in the city. On the highway going a steady 65 I might...

Buy it because it is a great car. Fun to drive, great gas mileage, tons of room, built by toyota, and it is reasonably priced. I am sadly selling mine. I...
i was wondering that too. i have an 06 automatic and i get around 30 mpg on an average. mrn8tural <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> wrote: How do you get 40...
I also get around 33 mpg on hi way at 60 to 65mph. Mixed hi way and city about 30 mpg. talked to lots of folks with XB and haven't heard of anyone else getting...
My worse tanks are 37-38mpg with 2 mile trips in the cold - long highway trip I get in the low 40's all the time and at slower speeds in the high 40's even in...
Low and High 40's? Sorry, but I find that very hard to believe. I'm not saying you are lying, just that you are mistaken in your math. :)...

The 40 MPG is on the highway, which is where most of my driving occurs, the tack rarely goes over 3K, and no jack rabbit starts, it is odd...if I let the other...

33-36 around town and 40-41 for freeway driving is possible, but the other poster said they had an AVERAGE of low to high 40's with in town / freeway driving....

I hear you. I find it hard to believe it gets that kinda a mileage in the city. Last week I got the worst mileage ever with my Xa. It was 29. something miles...
The kind of mileage Jan gets represents the upper end, but even without special lubes and fuel additives, good technique will easily get the '04-'06 xB's close...
Would it be possible to add a spreadsheet that we can access and input data such as the year, type, fuel mileage, Transmission type, type of oil, air filter,...
Thanks for the link, now THOSE numbers look more realistic than the low to high 40mpg average we heard before. And in case anyone is wondering, I really LOVE...

Ok, while the Prius does get better gas mileage in town than it does on the freeway, NOW you are saying you got 58 and 67 mpg in a Prius? Let me guess, this...

... That makes sense, but I'm concerned about early excessive tire wear with the tires inflated to that pressure. Do you think that's a valid concern (I...
More pressure means less drag from less friction and tire wall and tread deforming while rolling so that translates to less tire wear to a degree. You can...
Jan: How do you get such precise mileage without a gas pump in your garage to fill up each time you make a trip. Just how do you calculate this gas mileage? ...
