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

[6G72gearhead]

I dont understand why you guys let the tank run that low. Did you know its a little bad for it, when the tank is low it allows moistier to build up, which just doesnt burn quite like gasoline. I never let my tank go below a 1/4 unless I'm on a road trip and am going to fill it up before I park it.

260-300 miles, sometimes its a bit lower like last week spinning my tires on snow and ice I got 240, right now its higher and still going probably get about 320 out of it.....I let my mom drive it and her foot isnt as heavy as mine.

[solofantasy]

340 to 360 /Tank probably 26-28MPG
mostly highway
03 I4

unless i have like a girl in the car, and if thats the case, then forget about the 400 lol

...like a girl? something resembling something close to what one of us would call a member of the female species? just givin ya shit ;)

i usually get 260-270 city. on the highway i get 310max to a tank. seems like the v6's have better gas mileage than the big 4 cylinders

2003, i4, mobile 1 oil, 4" K&N cone filter, cheveron 89 octane, average of 300-315 miles on a tank. 47k miles

24.5 City, 26.4 Highway. I have a K&N filter in the stock box. It is a little rough at idle with original plugs & wires @ 76k miles so they will be changed soon.

I find that if you use the cruise on the highway it will increase the milage. And I use mid-grade gas.

Aren't you only supposed to use premium w/ the V6? :shock:

its recommended. its been discussed many times before. i always use premium.

10 gallons @ 2.50 for regular = $25.00

10 gallons @ 2.70 for premium = $27.00

instead of buying regular or mid grade gas and getting a king size snickers bar, get premium.

i cant stand it when people say "but premium is so much more expensive than regular" while sipping their 2 dollar can of some shitty energy drink.

ROFL! So true.


I guess some owners don't mind a lil pre-detonation inside the motor.

Does anybody have their window sticker to a V6 preferably an LS it tells you how much ur gunna spend over a year on gas... But that was with the gas prices back in 99... Just curious to see a window sticker for one...

[Kalamidad]

i average about 280 t0 300 regularly. I only count up to the point when the gas light first turns on. That's a confirmed average.

i use my trip A odometer to count the miles i run on a tank and my Trip B odometer to count how many miles i've gone since my last oil change. I only look at the Miles Run Odometer when i'm switching between A and B.

When i first got my car i would use get 100 miles per quarter tanks. maybe a little more. I remember because i drove it to Florida from NY the third week i had it. I think i still get something close to that, i'd say about 90 per quarter tank HWY. then again, i never drive until the car stops because the tank is empty.

[01blackG]

I get about 300 miles per a tank little bit of city and freeway driving,,,,,,But the best i have done was about 400 to 440 from a full tank all freeway driving @ 80 mph with the cruise on. Big tip guys if you have it and your on the freeway use the cruise control you will see a big increase on the mile per a gallon you get when driving the free way.

[2k2mitsu]

i only get 250 ..every single fill up. is it cause of my CAI? should i replace it back to stock in hopes of better gas mileage?

[Jeffylou87]

IDK... :oops:

[spicytuna]

i only get 250 ..every single fill up. is it cause of my CAI?

holy hell only 250? Man that sucks! Do you ride it hard? I'm lil under half tank and I'm already at 250. I'm sure I can squeeze another 100 miles before I hit E. Btw, the only mod I have is a drop-in K&N filter.

[furiousgtz]

900

[spicytuna]

I hit 333 this morning. Took me 14 gal to fill up. So I averaged close to 24mpg. This is mostly hwy driving. 24mpg = pure shitness.

[lonestar22]

well id kill for 24 mpg

[mapid145]
