Thread: How many miles to a full tank of gas?

lol, i get like 250-270 miles to the tank usually, but thats with a ton of boosting. and city driving

if im city driving i can only get about 200-250 its really bad

I think that's how my mileage was when I started driving because I was heavy footed lol, and my mileage was worse If I was in a hill'y area.

i got 290 miles once on a trip, but most of the trip was spent climbing hills at 60-70mph and there was obviously some boosting, i dont think my gas light works, but i didnt run out an when i filled up it took almost 12 gallons.

Best to date was 412 miles, all hwy. Bolt-on 92 SE-R. The thing was dangerously close though. I'd have to check my log book but I think it came out to 35.8mpg. I used to think that it was how you drove that was everything. If it's the same route that you take all the time, then yes it is. Then I went to a paving class (I'm in construction), and learned that a decent amount is gained from newer paving mixes. Open graded mixes yield great mpg's. That 35.8mpg was on open graded. Feels smooth too. I even revved it a few times to get on the onramp. So I'd say there are a lot of factors.

250 lol I log all my mpg's but as far as I can remember its about that

The data I posted above - is mostly city driving.
My daily commute is about 14.5 miles each way, only 3-4 miles of 55mph, rest is across town with stop lights and stop signs, and some 35-45mph roads.
Most of the time I drive for fuel economy - engine brake & coast up to stops/traffic signals, where possible.
Same route for nearly 17 years, so I know the traffic & light patterns well.
I actually get better mpg in city than hwy, especially with the 98 SE.

That's amazing.

In my 99 SE-L 5-speed with just a wai, i got 420 miles to the tank but don't remember how many gallons i put to fill it back up, 95% Freeway Driving.

In my current 2000 G20t 5-speed completely stock, i have gotten as high as 477 miles to the tank but is has a bigger gas tank than a B13 or B14. Average MPG ranges from 34-36 mpg with my (3) highest being 38.2mpg, 38mpg & 37.9mpg. Drive about 93-97% Freeway. I would say about half of the freeway driving is a consistent 20-35mph because of Southern California Traffic.

Usually I draft behind big rigs to avoid wind drag and keep the rpms low since they usually drive about 55-60 mph. I also use the coasting method coming to lights or stop signs and when shifting if there is no incline or hills I will go from 1st gear skip 2nd gear and go to 3rd also skip 4th gear go to 5th gear.
