Depends where you are and what kind of driving. Here in California where we don't get gasoline, we get squirrel pee for gasoline-- which was just reduced from 92 octane to 91 octane (!), people I know get around 20~22mpg in city/short freeway driving and around 25~28mpg in freeway driving.

Supposedly across the state line in Nevada where they get actual gasoline instead of oxygenated, 15% MTBE squirrel pee you can get a noticable improvement, but I don't go to Nevada at all so I can't say.

So that's around 300~350 miles city/highway and around 400~450 miles pure highway from what I've heard.

Gas Mileage in Wisconsin

I have a 1997 SE, I mainly drive highways and backroads. So, the backroads get about as good as mileage as city driving since i drive around 80 usually.

Anyway, i used to get around 380 miles a tank on 92 octane fuel. However, since i just bought my car a month ago, i checked the tire pressure, and all four tires were around 7 PSI short of what they should be at. They were all at 28 PSI, and my tires are supposed to be around 35. Anyway, since i did that, i have gotten over 400 miles a couple times on a tank. I do run it almost bone dry though.

The thing i hate is when you get like 100 miles on a tank before it passes the full bar. But, after a quarter tank, you only get around 60-75 miles. It just ****s with your mind!
