I average about 330-360 miles between fillups. The best I have gotten was 426 miles and that was alot of highway driving on that tank.

I'm on the low side as well about 260-290 miles that is a 60/40 hwy/street mix, never more.

smaller engine, not a returnless fuel system (like the vq35), narrower body. Also, non hair trigger throttle. All of these and prob alot more are why the 4th gen is alot better on gas.

I try not run the gas too low as I am sure the fuel pumps for our cars cost a pretty penny. My trip computer is almost always about 3mpg off my calculations. On a recent trip to the dragstrip I drove about 100 miles to the track made 6 passes and drove about 100 miles back home and managed 21mpg on that trip. I drive somewhat aggresive and usually crusie about 80mph on the freeway(anything slower will get you run off the road here in California) and usually get 21-23mpg at best with a auto trans. I miss my 94 Integra's 34-36 mpg! VQ torque is very welcome though =p
