Is there a site where i can check gas miliage for a car? I have a 1993 Eclipse (4-speed auto), and I want to know its gas miliage (its my first car, but gas prices are killing me). I have a feeling that it is around 19mph/gallon. Pretty low in my opnion, so where can I find these specs?
 
It changes all the time. Weather, driving habits, condition of the engine, etc. Best bet would be to just calculate it yourself. I get 2 MPG below in the city, and 3 MPG above on the highway as compared to the EPA ratings.
 
Gibson:

Fill up your tank. Reset the trip odometer. Drive for a few days (your average use). Fill it up again. Divide the # of miles elapsed on the trip odometer by the # of gallons you had to put in your car to fill it up the second time.

The answer is your mileage per gallon.

Example: You drove exactly 300 miles, and it took you exactly 10 gallons to fill your car up again. 300/10 = 30 MPG

Reset the trip odometer. Fill your tank. Drive until you need to fill up. Read the miles on the trip odometer, and divide by how many gallons of gas it took to fill the tank. You now have your gas mileage.

(Frankly if you couldn't figure that out on your own, you shouldn't be able to drive)

Remember PER means divided by. So, Miles PER Gallon, miles divided by gallons.
