I was just wondering how much mileage yall get on a full tank of gas? i have 96se(no mods) and im getting between 270-300 miles on 1 full tank of gas.

 

The amount of milage you get depends on a lot of things.

But I typically get around 300 miles on a full tank of gas - mostly highway driving.

And next time, don't put "??????????" as your subject.

"??????????" is not a subject. "What's your typical milage on a full tank of gas?" is a subject.

 

if i only get 300 i am ****ed. i once got 408 but that was 90% highway at night. that tank consisted of to and from plano twice, 160 miles there. To and from deep ellum 100 miles...theres 260 miles gone in only 3 roundtrips. I ussually go 70-80 miles before the marker moves off of full.

 

Remember that some stations sell gasoline and others sell gasohol. Both are fine for your car, but gasoline gives you more miles.

Station || Miles
---------------------------
Amaco || 380-415
Chevron || 350-380
QT || 300-320
RaceTrac || "
Citgo || "


I haven't paid attention the few times I used BP, Texaco, etc.

 

Daaaaamn ... I would love to get 350+ milage.

Must be my lead foot.

Or it could just be the gasohol.

 

I always use premium grade with 93 octane. Not sure if this matters.

 

I got 304 miles on my tank today and still had about 2 gallons left, keep in mind my car is driven very aggresively with a Super Charger. Before the SC I typically got 350-380 a tank and still had a few gallons left over. I miss getting better gas mileage but I don't miss having a not so fast car.

 

I don't have accurate data. Yesterday when I was at gas station I noticed the gas needle pointed a little below the last quarter line, and I got about 310 miles since last fill. My driving is 50% highway and 50% city.
I noticed that the gas meter is not a linear thing, and I remember seeing an article talking about it, saying it is designed that way so car drivers have an impression that it is a good MPG car at the beginning. Every time after my car's refilling, the needle goes above the top line, and will stay above that line until about 50 ~ 60 miles are driven. When the needle reaches the lower quarter line, it goes relatively faster downwards.

 

Before I added my air intake filter(Ractive), I was getting around 370-380 per tank. Now after the filter, I am getting over 400 miles all the time. Like right now I am at 325 miles with a little over a quarter tank of left. I should finish out around 450. I'll let you all know. I have 99 GXE, with 33K miles on the clock. Only use amoco/bp 93 octane.

i keep records on the fuel mileage, and at 32k miles, i get about 26-27 mpg. on a tank of gas, i can go 400+ before the fuel light comes on, then after that, i know i can get to at least 450.

i drive almost all hiway (75+ mph) and i have always used super unleaded (92-93) gas.

I get seriously upset if I don't reach the 400 mark.
Recently I've been approaching 445 per tank at ~30 mpg (avg. 70-75 MPH). Of course that's running it down to within .25 gallons left.

Looking forward to even more mileage after I install the JWT Pop filter!

I typically drive 35-40 Hwy miles daily to/from work, with none to minor city mileage. When I have to do a significant amount of city driving I notice the drop, usually down to 22-24 mpg.

 

That sounds about right. I drove to and from MA to OK and I ranged 430 miles on one tank. I have no mods at all though. I had the car loaded too, luggage, 4 adult sized people(my little brothers and sisters are giants) and running the AC.

 

I also have a 96SE 96K without any performance Mods (soon to come). I would get about the same for gas mileage (320) when I thought the owners manual was off with the 91 octane rating. Now that I have switched over to the 93 instead of the 89 (Thanks to this forum) I have noticed a couple of things that will make me stay with 93 octane even if the prices go up like that say they will. The car is getting much better gas mileage and I am not having trouble with it starting in the cold mornings anymore (just runs like when I bought it). It seemed to take a couple of tanks to make an adjustment, but well worth it. I am ready to do the intake if it will help out the gas mileage even more. Just my thoughts.

 

Thank you. Motion seconded.

Miles per tank is an imprecise measurement of fuel consumption. Miles per gallon is more meaningful, especially if measured over several thousands of miles.
