15.5 gallons


I get about 300 mi/tank when I romp on it. I try to never drive over 300 mi before I refuel, but by my MPG I could probably drive +400 mi on a tank.

I get about 250 miles per tank, mostly city driving. It does change once in a while though, maybe its the weather. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[sofaking079]

could it be the altitude? i am up around 5500 ft

[magic1872]

im aroudn 800-1000 feet, andi get consistantly 320-350 on anywhere from 14.0-14.5 gal. I keep track of this stuff for S & G's (s*its and giggles)

I have the 16.8gal tank and I usually fill up 14gal into it every 290mi or so. It's about a tad over 20mpg and that's mostly city driving with me romping on the throttle. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I get almost exactly about 290 + or - a few miles on 14 gallons for city driving. It averages to about 21 MPG. You might want to check your air filter. If that's not the problem, check your plugs and wires. I was only getting about 16MPG and went to change my plugs and found a wire had fallen off. To this day I don't know exactly how long it had been off because it didn't really misfire or through any trouble codes . I also always use 93 octane, found it gives a little better milage.

normally around 280 per tank.
But that depends on how many ricers I screw with

am i the only guy who thinks that is funny? anyways its early in the morn.
you guys get great milage! i drive 60 miles to work and it takes just under a quarter tank to get there. maybe there is 50 miles left on it after 4 quarters, but i dont think so.

Before I cracked mine up :( I was getting about 325-350 to a tank. But I usually fill up at 300 miles. This is about 80% Highway and 20% City. I don't drive it *real* hard, but I don't drive like a grandpa either [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW
Here are the Pics of my Car after I cracked it up

Still waiting to see if she is totaled or not.

30+ mpg on the highway at 80-85 mph :D

[pvtschultz]

When I do pure highway, at 75-80 I get around 28 mpg (350 miles), when I do highway at 60-65, I get around 30-32 mpg (almost 400 miles), and while I am doing the traffic bull s**t in Milwaukee, I get around 19-22 (300 miles).

Wow, I guess I'm pretty lucky getting about 330 a tank, I've been letting it go pretty low though.

I do a lot of highway driving as well, but when I'm not on the highway the petal rests on the floor.
