Whats your gas mileage??

I just filled up with 9.375 Gallons of 93 Octane (had about a quarter tank left). Traveled 164.2 miles on that 9.375 gallons, all city driving. I pulled out a nice 17mpg city with my Cobra, best that thing has ever done.

God im glad the gas forumlas changed.

Whats everyone else gettin?

I just checked it over the weekend and I got right at 22-23 mpg. That's mostly city driving with some interstate stuff thrown in and it includes my "spirited" driving style But I have no doubt in my mind that that's going to go down.

With 93 octane, my automatic, and my SCT tune I get about 240 miles out of a tank, when completely full and I fill up as soon as my "low fuel" light comes on.

About 70% city drive, 30% Highway Drive (anything over 60mph), averages about 18mpg.

I get about 220 miles out of a tank if I'm freeway/city driving....If i get out on the freeway and cruise I can get close to 300 miles.....all I know is that I paid $3.03 for 91 octane today and that's freaking crazy....I saw one chevron with 91 octane at $3.17! :surrender

economy cars are overrated. It's far more worth it to enjoy the car you drive than to freak out over gas prices. And in a typical car with a 20 gallon gas tank paying 2.75/gallon. Even if prices went up a dollar, you're only paying an extra $20/week. And honestly, if an extra $20/wk in gas is gonna kill you, then you need to get a different car. I will have my car even when gas prices hit $4 and even $5 just bc I'm not living beyond my means. I make far beyond what I need for all my bills and just put the rest in savings. This is also why financial advisors say to have your transportation only take up 10-15% of your earnings, that way in case anything happens, you can still afford the car/insurance/gas.

With my 2005 GT, when I go to NJ to visit relatives, I can get up to about 28-29MPG, if I'm nice with the gas pedal, adn use cruise control. On my last trip, only driving my GT up and back, (not driving it around when I was up there, we used my Father in Laws truck) I had 28.7MPG. After about 8-9 days of regular driving around at home, it was down to mid 18's MPG.

On a fill up and driving regular around town at home, I usually float between high 15's/low 16's to about high 17's/low 18's.

My car seems to get WAY better gas mileage when im just driving it around town. It likes to suck down the gas on the interstate though. I dont know what the deal is. I know that I can drive all day around town on like 1/4 tank of gas but the car uses more than an 1/8th tank everytime I drive to nashville on the interstate. The trip is about 30 miles one way. A round trip costs me 10 dollars in gas (1/4 tank) and I only drove 60 miles. Is that normal gas mileage? Keep in mind that my average speed on the interstate is like 80-85mph....with the occasional run up to 100 or 110 just for kicks. I have never actually calculated what im getting but maybe its time to try...... When im around town though it doesnt use much at all.

How are you getting 370??? That sounds odd cause my old 99 V6 mercury cougar just got 400 miles to the tank..... and your just getting 30 miles less.

the 370 only happened once. it was freeway driving on a flat interstate. the 320 and 340 only happen when i drive the car to work and baby it.
