I filled up my Stang Last Thursday for $3.63 at a quarter tank and I just now reached half a tank. So im hoping itll last me almost two weeks.

Right now at half a tank I have 102 miles and thats with me goosing it everynow and then. I cant help it I like to hear my exhaust.

With all the freeway driving I'm doing now.. I get 300 miles to a full tank.
In the city only I get something like 230 or so..

Gas here is 4.19 a gallon.. so its costing me some cash to fill up.

I can normally make a full tank last a week.

a full tank lasts me 2 weeks at least. My commute to work is 3.1 miles and I RARELY ever drive it other than to and from work...trying to preserve miles because she is for sale.

I try to make a tank last 2 weeks, of course I don't have a job right now so it's pretty easy, I just bumb rides off of all of my 4cyl friends. Usually get 250 miles out of a tank.

Unfortunately, a full tank for me is only about a 4 to 5 day affair....I only live about 12 miles from work, but some of it is city driving as well as interstate driving, and my car is the car we usually take out, since I don't always like being seen in my wife's powder blue VW Beetle Convertible with the big orange sunflower sticking out of it *LMAO*
I have to go home for lunch, so that adds extra miles.

its been a long time since my car has seen a full tank, a half tank lasts me over a week, sometimes close to a month.

Full tank costs me about $53 to fill up depending on the gas station. Some stations around here are up to $4.41 for 91. It's getting ridiculous. A full tank usually lasts me about 4 days during the week. I commute about 60 miles a day just for work.

It all depends how often I play "Right Foot and Pedal Symphony in Ford Major"

My 'Stang is strictly a toy... in two years of ownership, I only have 6995 miles on it.

I get 16 MPG around town and 22 MPG on the highway.

You have money to waste anyways, so why does it matter how fast your gas goes down?

filled up today and went 205 miles and i had my Low Fuel light one..didnt mean too but i just kept forgetting to fill up (just wanted to get home from work...it blows). it usually lasts me a week if i only drive the mustang. that rarely happens cause i usually am the driver when i go out with friends (horray for beaters!)

btw, thats all city driving and spirited driving with a rich tune (i know for a fact cause my car has a VERY potent smell cause of the no cats.)

I fill it up once a week. I usually average about 280 a tank and did a test a couple of weeks ago. Didn't use the A/C and I put it in neutral when rolling up to red lights and took it easy on the gas. Squeezed 320 miles out of that tank which I think was about 22.5 mpg. I was happy.
