Tell me how good or bad your Gas milage is
Tell me how good or bad your Gas milage is
OK OK, some people are complaining about their gas milage cause some people get more then others. I just wanted to know the percentage of people that get over 500+mileage on their tank of gas, vs people that get 400+ vs 300+ vs 200+vs 100+.
Also tell us your year and type of max with what trans with what kind of rims you are riding on(19,18,16stock, ect) and list your mods on your car. What you have replaced and saw the difference in your mileage. Plus your driving habits.(heavyfoot, ect)
97 SE Autotragic with stock 16s, I have a Ram air intake with about 50/50 city and highway drive and get 320ish miles per tank, normal driving with occasional heavyfoot.

99 SE, 5spd, short ram intake, 17x8 rims, moderate driving some heavy foot...380-430. Now if I'm on the highway going across state its higher. I went from Dallas to Galveston and back on one tank and still had 1/8 tank left. I got 574.
The most I ever got out of my 96 auto with same mods was 661, sputtered pulling to the pump.

my mileage sucks. i filled up with hess 93oct. i'm now under 1/4 tank, and i'm only at ~190mi. i've replaced basically everything i can think of, plugs, fuel & air filters, KS, changed oil, cleaned TB. i have the 17" 350z rims, stock intake and ypipe. as far as driving style, usually i take it pretty easy. a few months ago, i added some lucas oil to my tranny fluid to try to smoothen out the 1-2 shift. might be a dumb question, but could that have impacted my mpg? i really need to do a flush, just trying to make the time.
I get about 350 miles per tank. I have a 97 auto on stock 15's with a short ram intake and a y-pipe. It's about 60/40 city to highway driving and I tend to keep it under 2500rpm around the city. On the highway, it's a different story
i have 97 5-speed, y pipe, UDP, went back to stock intake.....i am on heavy 19's. i get about 350 60% city, 40% highway. done full tune up and i noticed a large differance when i went back to stock intake......and i drove pretty hard cause iw anted to feel the diffeerance between stock intake and the other setups i had
I got last tank about 415. I usually stop at 400 and fill up, i dont like riding around with my light on. i run premium, and i have 18's. Most of my driving is stop and go, due to heavy traffic in my area. I just replaced my knock sensor, i was getting about 345 per tank. Big improvement. Thanx for you who do write ups, i could not have changed it without you
This is a pretty awful poll. You should have made this into "what is your mpg?" since some people fill up earlier than they have to. I'll say this though - on my last trip up to college, all highway, with stock sawblades, all maintanence done, good tire press. and cruise control, I got ~29.5 mpg. Had I tried to get a "full" tank out of the mileage, I would have definately been beyond 500 miles per tank. But honestly, miles/tank is a terrible way to monitor gas mileage.
Oh yeah, only k&n panel filter and hacked air box.

I consistently get 400 to 414 miles on a tank. I just put 17's on and I still get that range. I do a "mixed bag" of driving with city AND highway miles, and while I don't drive crazy, I don't drive particularly slow either. Oh yes, this range is achieved BEFORE the light comes on, using REGULAR gas, a knock sensor that's beenout for God know how long, and spark plugs that have 100,000+ miles on them. No joke.

I'm sure your a great guy. But i just don't believe you. 661? That's like 38 MPG.
Are you sure?..LOL!

I had to multiply 18.5gal x my actual fuel economy (which is around 25.0mpg). I refill anywhere between 10-14gal at a time. Next time ask for mpg. Only idiots talk in terms of miles per tank.

i put 300-399 cause every sunday and thursday i drive to/from school in RI (about 83miles each way)...meanwhile i drive around down at school and when im home on the weekends and the tank of gas lasts a good week. fuel up every friday.
Slightly spirited (I like to gun it up every once in a while) 99 auto, stock all round cept a Hog air filter, all city driving (stop and go), and I get around 280 miles from full to light coming on. Could probably sqeeze another 40 out of it with light on, but chances are I'd be sucking my thumb on the side of the road if I truely wanted to know how much I could get out of a tank.

Best was 28 miles per gallon on a tank that was all highway (with some higher elevations and grades to ruin my mileage
). Normally I get about 26 mpg, averaged out between city and highway driving. I skip gears, coast to lights and try not to drive above 65 on the freeway. When I first bought it, it was more like 17 mpg!! I learned my lesson quickly.

I only out like 4-5k miles on the car last year.
I don't like to go past 1/4 tank, but it usually is right up on 400 by the time it drops that low. 50/50 driving with some time WOT.
I/Y/E, pulley, ahead of schedule maintenance, stock 16s slightly over inflated.
Premium Top Tier QT Gasoline as well.

I average about 420 mi to a full tank of gas. All rural driving, however on highwa it jumps to about 440-450 and that is with a lead foot. Everything is stock right now, except for the Turbo fuel saver I have installed.
