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.
