How many miles are you getting on a full tank of gas?

**spicytuna** · 02-05-2007, 01:54 AM

Today I hit 315 miles. My car is stock w/ the exception of a drop in K&N filter. Does this sound right?? Btw, it's a V6 w/ only 78K.

I'd love to hear what other V6 owners are getting.

well depends if we're talking about highway or what :D

i haven't done my mpg in a while, but i usually get about 260-280 on a regular basis

last time i did my MPG, it was about 18mpg city

my car is closer to the 400 range. about 29mpg.

but the majority of my mileage now is highway

and my car is happy since i've done all the maintenance to it.

I mostly drive 75% hwy and 25% city. I thought 315 is kinda low for a full tank. It's bad enough we have to use premium fuel! :(

HOW DO YOU GET 400?? What did you do to improve your gas mileage....i just picked up amsoil and amsoil filter for the car, im gonna change my oil this week. I remember u saying that the amsoil helps ur gas milage!

I get 20-22 mpg in the winter and 22-24 in the summer. My commute is about 50/50 highway and city.

pinoyesv6 how do you get 400

**quicksilver22** · 02-05-2007, 11:07 AM

most i ever received on a topped-off tank of fuel, was about 423miles... and thats with me rolling into the gas station, driving straight from south mississippi to tallahassee on I-10..

however, i typically get around 280 now in the city... boooooo

**pinoyesv6** · 02-05-2007, 11:38 AM

out of the 400 miles i do do, about 20 of those miles are the ones i use to get my car to and from the highway. so, when i say mostly highway miles it means highways miles lol.

but yea back on topic. getting close to 400 miles per tank is easy. simple common sense.

change my oil on a regular basis, check my tire pressure, stuff like that. i also monitor my fuel economy since a drop in fuel economy can be a sign that something is wrong.

oh yea, i don't use heat or AC. ever. unless i have like a girl in the car, and if thats the case, then forget about the 400 lol.

driving habits are also a big key. i don't drive like an ass. i mean unless i want to say goodbye to that 400, i accelerate like your grandma, yea it sucks but it hurts me more to see my money go to the pump, and more importantly, i make sure my car is warmed up before i drive anywhere. if its not warmed up, then again, goodbye to the 400l.

I average around 230 to 260 a tank (city and highway). I did 380 before, but that was pure highway, from WA to OR, non-stop no traffic (1am). I think I could have gone further, but I don't want to risk running out of gas on the highway. LOL. When my low fuel indicator lit up, I got off and filled up the tank again.
