Biggest ones I can think of is to avoid making a lot of short trips in city traffic, keep your car tuned to specs, use synthetic fluids, change (or clean) your air, oil and fuel filters regularly, reduce the excess weight in the car, keep your tires inflated 2-3 lbs past the recommended levels, and pretend that your car has the acceleration of a fully-loaded 18-wheeler.

 

Thanx alot

 

i get about 370 a tank
which is usually 23.5 mpg

 

I think my mileage is about normal, I refuel it about once every week

 

26 mpg if i drive 80-85 mph
28 mpg if i set the cruse at 75
Id like to know what id get if i set it at 65, but will probably never find out!

 

OVer 32mpg, I'd bet.

 

there was an article in sportcompactcar about improving gas mileage. most of it was stupid practical stuff, like making sure you don't have too much luggage/unnecessary weight in your car. anyway I'm getting a consistent 410

 

I fill up early, but get around 320-380, depending on how I drive, and where I'm driving, so about 420-430 I guess?

just got 28mpg in city/highway combo on 93 octane!

 

With only city driving I'm getting 330 on a complete tank. And by city driving I mean I love punching it and feeling that horsepower!

 

I can or maybe thats a

Getting ~15-16mpg

 

I do alot of driving on the interstate and I usually get about 425 a tank or a little over 30MPG. 99 I30t 5 Speed; Y-pipe, pully, drop in K&N 16'' stock wheels, heavy footed. Run 93 gas.

 

First Post

In City i get around 360 to 400. On Road trips if i can keep it under 80 MPH i can get about 460 to 480 on a tank. Best ever was 504, But i was running out of gas pulling into the gas station.

95 max SE With Cold Air intake and 16" After market rims.

 

whats 550 to 600 KM per tank in miles ? cause thats what i get with my 97 GXE fully loaded like a GLE with 204,300 KM

 

250-280 a tank

 

why is it so bad??? even mine reaches 290 minimum...

 

I get 300-320 city driving with shifting at 3k every gear and frequently hitting it to get around traffic.

 

NYC driving




plus I need to change an oxygen sensor

 

I've got a '99 with automatc. I think in mpg rather than miles per tank, mostly because I usually refill when I get below a quarter of a tank. So I would say that worst case scenario I get 21-22mpg in city driving, and up to 30 mpg in highway driving 75mph+. I'm sure that if I was highway driving around 60mph I could do a little better at highway mileage, but not much. 30 mpg is pretty darn good for a 3.0 V6 with an automatic.

 

that sucks... haha.. believe it or not, i had better mileage when i used to commute to chicago than i do now... the suburb driving sucks. used to get minimum 330 miles during the winter time... now i get 290

 

I just got my 98GX - all stock w/ auto - 15" wheels. Her in Canada it's km - I'm only on 4th tank of gas - about 500km so far. That's around 320 miles by the time i fill up.
By the way, gas here is .99 / litre = $ 3.80 CD = 3.25 / gal USD
maybe helium in tires to lighten car ???

 

lol

what are your mods?


I think I may have to change my KS too.

 

don't really have much... just a 2.5" b-pipe to a can muffler and... a rsb...car's dropped a bit... lack of funding for now... well, clear corners and whatnot but.. nuthin else..

your car looks nice~

 

thank you

you have a picture of yours?

 

haha. the only pic i have is my car buried in the snow from the last snowstorm... it's getting a good wash tomorrow tho if the weather permits so then i'm takin pics.. good friend of mine blackened out my gen2 taillights so..

 

Granny driving in the city I got 300 on one tank easily and that was about 19mpg.
Still in the city but driving like my usual self (aka a complete ***) I get 16mpg but Im pretty sure I can make 300 on a tank like that (so I voted 300-399).
Mixed highway and city-like-an-*** gets me about 19-20mpg.
All highway - dont know yet.

 

Just averaged 27.8 mpg doing mostly 75 on a trip from NJ to Mass, and back.

 

With a '98 5-speed that's stock except for 17's and some added weight from amps and subs, I think I average around 22mpg with just a little more city driving than highway. I thought I had a lead foot, but I guess I'm not bad compared to some of the other numbers here.

 

just filled up my tank last night and with a 99 auto... i got in 22mpg...

i'm impressed.

 

^^^^^^hey what are u doing here????^^^^^^^^^^^ im tellin

 

i'm a chillin here... looking things up...

you need non-maxima friends eh?

 

Filled up weekend past. 61 ltr ( 16 gal )@ $1.03 / ltr . 490 km = 310 miles
That's about 19 mpg, with 1/2 highway miles at 65mph and 1/2 city miles at no more than 40mph - very light foot.

 

42mpg on 3 separate occasions

 

got a 98maxiam short ram intake and i get about 16city and 22highway and about 200 on the tank and the car in stock

 

Before 3.5 swap: 20 mpg city, 26.5 mpg highway
After 3.5 swap: 15 mpg city, 29 mpg highway

only 200/tank???

 

'98, stock except for chrome 18's (heavy as f*ck) (no, i did not put them on and they are being replaced)

just took a road trip - 100% highway miles, <290 miles to a tank - i almost threw up.

then i noticed that the mild gas smell i was noticing inside was in fact not due to a leaky/cracked hose as suggested, but to a nonexistant primary o ring on one of the injectors - i was losing ounces per drive : i almost threw up some more.

the wheels have been replaced, the o ring replaced, the fuel, air, n oil filters replaced, hopefully we'll see some improvements.

 

I get at least 310mi every tank. get 350 in a long distince.

 

I got 27mpg with 5 people in my car driving to Detroit and back, 80-85mph all the way

 

How can u tell how much miles u get city and highway

 

pump a tank full, reset odometer, drive in city only. city means stop and go with light and moderate steady cruise. When fuel light comes up, go pump it, record however many gallos you're pumping, divide trip odom reading by amount of gallons you've pumped. That's city milage.

If and when you get to go on the interstates for more than 5 hours, you can do the same method, except refrain your driving to be on the interstates only. That'll give you your highway milage.
