Gas Mileage
I know this depends on how u drive, weather your auto or manuel and so on. But what kind of Gas Mileage do you all get with Premium?

premium is a must, but for a mix for me is 19-22 or so, mostly city/stop go though.

Use 87 octane. Anything higher is a waste of money. If you don't get 27 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway there is something seriously wrong with your car and you should sell it immediately and only drive your motorcycle.

You've got a point there. I wish I had thought about that. How much does it cost to run a bicycle? Do some take more water to pedal than others? My bad, not too with it when it comes to bicycles. Are unicycles better - they only have one wheel.

Well you know how 6-speeds are better than 5-speeds in cars? Bicycles have 21 speeds! They are slowest, slower, slow, somewhat slow, not really slow, kinda slow, slow, less than slow, okay decent speed, just plain old decent speed, quick, fast, faster, fastest, even faster, even fastest, HOLY CRAP THAT'S REALLY FAST, warp 7, hyperdrive, lightspeed, and honda civic speed.
That took way too much thinking.

By the way, its what, $3 more a fillup to use premium? It's worth the extra bucks.

Yes, being honest I average in the low twenties. I gotta go easy on her for one tank to see what she can be capable of.

For those of you not smart enough to figure it out, I was being facetious (the word is in a dictionary). I routinely get over 500 miles (29 mpg) on a tank on the highway, with the highest being almost 550 (over 31 mpg). In the city its another matter, 350 miles or 19 and a bit on a good day in stop and go etc. My car is a 95SE, 5-speed, with 57,700 mostly highway miles on it. The only performance enhancements are a K&N panel air filter and a Budget y-pipe, both installed last June.

95SEs rule, lol! Oh, I see that the originator of this thread is running for president in 2020. Good luck, hopefully you'll have more success with your gas mileage.

Don't go with what people say about their gas mileage. Some people make mistake on how much they get on a full thank. I also get lower then 20 to a gallon for city drive. I don't believe what others say. Some people say they get 450 for a full tank. Come On!!!! Unless you drive like a old person that is not possible.
For example go to this link and see what I am talking about.

I would say 20 or 21 mpg is regular for city driving, that's 350 miles to a 16.8 gallon tank. I drive too fast on the highway so my highway mileage is not much higher than that, probably around 25-26 mpg.
I can hit 70 mph on my bicycle...............right after I fall off of the mountain!

No, he gets out of town which would take you about a month to achieve living in New York. When people repeatedly say how far they can drive on a tank what part of that don't you understand? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to set a trip odometer. Calcualting mpg it appears is another matter open to conjecture.

negative, actually most of my family and coworkers can't believe I haven't been in an accident yet as fast as I drive everywhere. Are you in an automatic? 5spd's almost always get better mileage in the city.
Cystum,
I am just telling you the way it is for me in my car here in Dallas, TX, not in NYC. I have never been to NYC, but from the looks of it on tv and in magazines you have nothing but traffic and stop lights, so yeah I would guess you would be lucky to get 15-18 mpg. But here in Big D, I drive 20 miles to work everyday (Mckinney to Plano) and stop at maybe 10 lights.

Since when does low octane gas wear out a KS? I didn't even know a KS is a wear and tear item. As far as me being insecure and sexually abused, sure, why the hell not. I mean cause I tell it like it is there must be something wrong with me, either that or your ego is so small that the smallest bit of truth makes you shed a tear. It's the internet, get a spine you pansy.

Anger management is needed when you show anger regularly. Cause I sound like an *** on a forum doesn't mean I need anger management. I'm a nice guy sut some people are just so dumb and ignorant that unless you tell them they are they'll go on living looking like they're brain dead, just like the dude who started this thread. You really have to be to start a thread just like the one that was a few threads down the line. I point out that you don't bother to skim a page or two or just that you don't give a **** and all the newbs jump on me. I'm used to it and I feel sorry for all of you.
