i drive like a bat out of hell and i get 23 mpg. just saying.
i never wait till im on E to fill up, because running the car below 1/4 tank messes up your fuel pump.

but 13.4 gallons *23mpg=308 miles.


(im almost to 195k miles now!)

 

If I'm not mistaken, that's a very common myth, anyone care to verify?

But speaking of gas lights flickering on and off, I always equated that to fuel expanding and contracting due to temperature changes and it sloshing around in your tank. It's happened to every car I've owned and driven but I could be wrong.

 

yes, please tell me. i hate quoting myths as fact

 

I get 350+ usually. All city driving. I once did 175 miles on 1/4 tank. From 1/2 to 1/4. 65 mph, cruise control on, just sunroof tilted, no a/c or heater. New spark plugs, new filter, oil change done. It wasn't that good before I changed all that though.

 

DAMN!!!! that sounds nice, almost hard to believe, but im kinda jealous.

i get about 450kms to a tank,,cost me $45.00 to fill.

normal driving and when using her for what she worth, about 340kms to a tank.

 

I just started tracking my fuel consumption with an iphone app "Gas Cubby" So far I've gotten 7.7L/100k or 30.7 MPG.

 

Hmmm, thinking I need to check my plugs and I'm not quite ready for a oil change yet. But I'm getting about 200 - 210 per tank running 89 octane. Yes my foot is heavy, but that is far from what some of you are getting.... I have put 1950 miles on since I got it on August 14 and none of those are highway miles.

I'm a pretty rational guy, not superstitious or anything but I swear the last time I had Castrol Edge, I got better mileage. It went back down when I used Mobil 1.

 

Well I decided to put in some Denso IR plugs today and a fuel system cleaner. I filled it back up today as well...lets see what I get this time around, without changing my driving habbits. It had NGK IR plugs that where pretty carboned up. I'm hoping this will help.

You mean those little bottles of fuel treatment? I heard they're snake oil....?

 

I'm no ralliart but i get around 300 mpg on normal driving. Shifting point is 3.7k rpms. Only flooring it when getting on the on ramp on the highway. I do mostly highway driving. If I change my shift point to 3.2k rpms I get around 325-330 mpg. If I floor it everywhere.....250 mpg. And for long trips from say VA to NC I get around 450 mpg. All of those are about 30 miles after the gas light comes on.

Speaking of gas light. I can go 2.5 days of my normal driving with the light on. I travel 32 miles a day for work. Thats from my house to work and back home.

 

Normal driving gets me about 29.5 miles per gallon... not to bad... I used to have a 240SX that got about 35 MPG.... :-)

 

i drive about 5 miles...both ways(according to google maps)

 

I started gas cubby last week aswell, 2 fill ups inputted into the app-1 initial fill up, and 1 fill after that. So far it says I'm at 30.8 mpg.
