How many miles per tank do you guys get? So far I have 148.2 miles and the tank is exactly half full. So figure I'll get around 300 for the full tank. I floored it to redline about 10 times since I filled up. Is this mileage good bad or avg?

Oh and I only have an intake and my TB is still dirty. 80k miles on car.

 

thats really poor gas mileage. the worst ive ever gotten is about 180miles at the halfway point. btw last tank i got 436 miles on it

 

The worst ive gotten is 265, the best is 340

 

worst so far is 320......20mpg, mostly city driving with my new 5spd though.

 

 

Do you just drive down-hill all the time?

 

436 on a tank.that is massive....goign pure freeway wont get me that..anyway.. worst tank was about 320.. best 360...i duno why but my full tank is 15 gallons there is stil like 1/4 of way on last notch before empty.full full tank nissan say sis liek 17 gallons.....i calcuate bout a 23 to 24 mpg ave..which i think is pretty good for a v6 and for how fast the max is...

 

your tank probably won't make 300 at the rate its going.
with similar driving, i get more mileage from the first half of the tank than the last half. something about the shape of the fuel tank.

 

You have to remember guys! He's automatic! Don't compare his car to your car if you have a manual. You're scaring him by telling him he's getting terrible gas milage. He's NOT, that's average for an auto that drives city.

 

Ok, I have a 96 GXE automatic and with supreme (93) gas i always get above 400 miles. Maybe an overall tuneup will help, and btw i have 88k miles on it.

 

Do you drive in an area with very few stoplights or mostly highway?

 

I usually get between 330 and 350 miles per tank. Road driving. Not with stoplights, but with many large hills. I haven't had the car long enough to test highway, I think it will be more than 350 though.

 

Last time I checked I got 456 miles in one tank. I was going from SC to KY and went through the mountains. I have 127k miles on my car.

 

are the milage based on the halfway mark and then doubling the milage? Also is there a low gas light warning or should I just use the force to see how far a tank will go?

 

that I'm not sure about. I just got my half way point and doubled it-but some people are saying that's not accurate. I guess you could get it as close to empty as possible and add like 5 or 10 miles.

 

I usually 300
-+

 

I pretty much always get 400 miles per tank (about 16 gallons). That's close to 25 mpg. I have a 95GLE Auto with 204,000 miles on it. A very dirty Throttle body and a dirty air filter and about 7000 miles since my last oil change. (Yes i'm going to work on it this weekend)

 

Hey Zumble, I would say 2/3 of my driving would be on the highway. Since i do have an auto, i really cant race like i would like to

 

I usually get around 340 miles per tank (320 on 17 galons). My worst tank was 290 or so.

I drive about 50% of the time in the city (Chicago) which could contribute to me never seeing 400 miles per tank, but still, I think the only way one could get pass 400 miles is by driving 55 mph almost all the time without too many stops and traffic.

 

in the fall ive gotten close or up to 450.
but lately my mpg has suffered hardcore due to the cold. at the rate im going right now i wont hit 270-280

 

300

 

damn i only am pulling 250 a tank. I do alot of around town driving though (delivering pizza ) so that probably why. When i do take her out on the road and let loose, she goest like 350+ to a tank which is nice.

 

Going by the gas guage is not an accurate way to measure mileage. you need to calculate miles per gallon.

 

mine varies... i've gotten around 25-26, but during this whole winter i get around 21-22, is that normal? over half my miles are highway approximately.

 

I generally get close to 500 miles a tank on premium chevron or exxon fuel.

 

I get about 420 on my 99 gle, and that is with my o2 sensor outta wack.
