How many Miles do you get per full tank??
Hey, I was just wondering how many miles people get per full tank? Assuming normal driving (shifting +/- 3500 rpm) you autotragic guys, feel free to throw your numbers in here too as somewhat of a control. Thanks All. BTW I think I average like 350 miles before the low fuel light comes on.

i'm getting about 200mi to the tank. My trips are short 7 minute trips to the train station(city) in the morning and back in the evening, and mostly city miles on the weekend. Is that ok, seems pretty craptastic too me since i almost never take engine past 3Krpm

Everything is stock and I never go over 2500rpm.
One of my rear calipers is bad (the brake pads are in slight contact with the rotor).

city driving sucks...for some reason there is a dramtic differnce between city and HWY with our cars....u should run or ride a bike to the train station....i am sure there is a place to lock it up

LOL, running there would take me about 40min at the least. Riding my bike there would take maybe 20mins, but beleive it or not, there are no places leave my bike @. I bought the car to get me there.

500 mile range FTW.
I actually only just got back there after replacing my sticky calipers (rear). I was running in the high 400's.
Mixed driving (normal) approaching 500, Mixed w/WOT sessions 420ish.

I get about 600 kilometers and that's about 400 miles right? When I fill up, the light has just come on and it usually take about 60 liters. The tank is about 70 liters.
Sorry I don't know the imperial conversion for those numbers.

If not having my foot into it too much, and granny shift every gear. I can get about 430 on a tank.
That is basically 97% city driving too. I am quite pleased with that. If my foots in it more I usually hit more around 380-400.
Can't really give an accurate reading for HWY miles with this car. I've been on a trip one time with this car. And well lets just say, a slight exhaust leak, bad KS, and left bank O2 shot
It could have been a lot better but I avg. 415 on a tank. But since that trip last year I have fixed all those issues.

I get about 300 miles for 13-14 gallons with 50/50 city driving. Actually, sometimes the time is more expensive than gas- so I just step on in.

I used to use my car for commuting - 11 miles each way, no more than 40 mph, lights etc. I used to get 325 miles before the light went on and I would generally fill up at about 350 miles, with a little gas left.
On the highway, if I don't drive it like I stole it, I can easily get 500 miles to the tank and have exceeded 550 about 3 or 4 times. This is at 75 mph or less but does entail climbing.
I am convinced we have better gasoline in Canada based on the mpg experience I have read on the org.
