Now, in the face of increased competition for police business from Chevrolet Caprice and Dodge Charger, Ford is introducing new police vehicles based on the Taurus large sedan and Explorer SUV. The Crown Victoria, which was originally introduced in 1983, hasn’t been sold to consumers since 2008 sales have remained strong, however, for the Police Interceptor version. In the CivicX, expect 20 to 25 mpg in urban driving, 30 to 40 mpg highway and 25 to 32 mpg combined (50-50 urban/highway).One of the last last exemplars of the bygone big Detroit sedan - and a favorite of police departments and taxi drivers across the country - the Crown Victoria is being put out to pasture by Ford, according to the Detroit Free Press. If you get 20% to 30% worse mileage than what you see on the internet, there is nothing wrong with your car or the way that you drive. Especially if they match or exceed the manufacturer's claims. Take internet claims of fuel mileage with a grain of salt. The VFR 1200 only gets about 35 mpg if you go easy on the throttle.Ī lot of the frustration from people like me is that when they see people claiming that they get the same mileage as the Car Manufacturers get in their lab conditions, it makes us think that we have something wrong with our cars or that there is something wrong with the way that we drive. Motorcycles with half as much power and are 100 lbs lighter don't get 50 mpg. That is a 600 lb plus motorcycle with 160 Horsepower and a shaft drive.
I have seen a guy claim on the internet that he gets 50 miles to the US gallon in mixed driving on his Honda VFR 1200. "Thousands of models are 30% worse on average when measuring miles per gallon in real-world conditions, according to comprehensive new data" If people claim that they get what the manufacturer rates their car's mileage as, they are probably exaggerating. The manufacturer's numbers are used to market their vehicles and are usually an exaggeration of the real world numbers that we should expect.
I strongly suspect that there is a lot of exaggeration on the internet with respect to claimed fuel mileage.
