Sitting in traffic kill your mpg?

Who let the wolves out on this thread?????

 

I commute 30 miles each way up / down the 101, avg speed 60MPH, and my mileage averages 17.3 MPG

 

i beat all of you. i get 15 freway and 11 on the street. I win.

 

I apologise for making one small typo in my post Oh, and sorry for not knowing the exact capacity of the Tacoma's fuel tank (some of us have better things to be doing).

Ok so assuming a 21 gallon tank, 1gph usage you can only idle for 19 hours. Even at this level, seems low to me. Just my 2c.

 

to the OP... 6A FTW, I never have troubles getting off cape

 

I sure have. Considering the fact that while you're sitting in traffic, you are essentially getting zero miles to the gallon, so yes, you get terrible fuel efficiency while sitting in traffic.
