Filled up the Max with 10 gallons of 93 Chevron gas about a week ago and the gas light came on. I drove 216.7 miles before filling up again. Is 21MPG about the average everyone is getting? Will the drop in K&N filter really make a difference in increasing the MPG total.

Thanks in advance for you input.

 

Just filled up yesterday at 13.8 gallons, 91 chevron gas at 335 miles.... that's around 24.7 mpg (spirited driving, red lining, and 60% highway, 40% local less than 3 miles at a time)

 

you have a manual right?

 

wow 216 is pretty nice, where do u drive?

I have been using the trip computer, which reads my MPG for me on my 2003 SE with auto. I reset it after each refill, just to see if anything changes. So far my car only has 3000 miles on it, but for the past five refills I have averaged 22 MPG for 90% city driving. That's using Citgo 91 (7-11). Seems that Chevron is near extinct around here, and I haven't seen better then 91 rated fuel since moving to Reno.

 

I got over 30mpg coming from Alabama to DC with a FULLY modded car. Beat that.

Dixit

 

2k1, automatic.. no trip computer since it's off by a little bit

 

I drive a 2K1 Auto SE in the Bay Area. Mostly highway but a lot of traffic.

 

on a trip from LA to the bay area, i averaged about 28mpg (350mi) driving like an old grandma; on the return trip i still averaged close to around there even with heavy traffic (thanksgiving weekend)

 

33mpg in my 2k2 auto coming from Blacksburg to Northern Va! The oxygenated gas in this area really keeps the mpg down.

 

Damn not bad. But I guess Im doing really good with a fully modded out car performance wise

 

The funny thing is going down my mileage was only around 27-29. I always seem to get better gas mileage when buying gas down south. My car runs better also. It's not just my max, my old Honda civic EX used to get great mileage down south.

 

I get like 19 MPG.. Sucks

 

if i was running your time, or had your mods, or the hp your putting down... i wouldn't mind the 19 mpg. that's just me of course.

 

My 2k2 is fully stock and I average 24-26 mpg (according to trip computer) with city driving, alot of highway and 93 Octane!

 

i'll test mine 2morrow...all i know i fill on monday and fill again on wednesday!!!! BEAT THAT!!!!

 

wow.. that's fast. I fill up around 13-15 gallons every 10-14 days.

 

I must just suck then. I have been getting 17-19 for city driving shifting out at about 2.5k rpms. I'm runnin' stock too...

 

I'm getting anywhere from 17-22 city/highway. Usually more around 17-19 city, so it's not just you.
