and what is your gas mileage like?

recently i moved to a place that is about 10 mins from work so now i take the highway a lot which makes my gas mileage better as it's not a lot of stop n go traffic just constant driving at a constant speed. last week i hit the mile mark for my mileage where i got 347.3 miles on a more than full tank. (usually when i get gas, once it clicks to stop, i keep filling it up til i see gas start to come up, i usually get an extra $3-4). before i moved i would only get like 210-220mi on a full tank so i was just wondering what your guys mileage is like? i always get premium 93 octane. i try to always get it from shell or mobil. with that 347.3 i think my MPG was like 24/25.

I've gotten as much as the equivalent of 460 miles per tank, a little bit less in the winter times, but 430 miles per tank on averge is a regular occurence for me.

most of my driving is 50/50 since I live 10 miles from work so that's usually high 300s.

When I make trips to the bay area or LA, I can get nearly 500.

Highway driving I have gotten up to 400 miles per tank. Although, I'm pretty sure, I can get 30 - 60 more miles out of my car if I push it.

When I drive around town, in the summer time, I can get around 300 miles per tank due to a lot of stop and go and very slow speeds on Post. And in the winter, on average, I get about 250 miles per tank.

I have gotten about 480 miles per tank until the gas low light comes on.

The highest MPG is in my signature. :thmsup:

cold air + LA traffic = bad gas mileage

One time, driving from Long Island NY to Washington DC, around the DMV and back out to Long Island, I stretched 485 miles (15 gallons) (32.3 miles per gallon).

Other than that, just driving on the beltway and around NOVA, I get about 350-375 miles full tank.

summer: usually 405-420
summer on highway: 450-550 (only ever seen 2 tanks at over 500)
winter: 370 +- 10

It usually only ever takes 13-14 gallons when it reads empty.

.....and every now and then, 600 miles per tank.

Who sez you can't have it all (performance and econ.)?

I don't like the vague clutch (but after applying GMSFM to the 6M - - - the 3rd gear notchiness is history).

Saturday, it's new Primacy MXV4 tars for this sailor. But they are pricey!!!

all the best, ez................

I get about 450~500miles per tank of gas...but I must admit, when I go fill up, I only have about 1~2 gallons left in the tank...I use the cheapest gas there is, which means I usually wind up going to Costco to get regular...

'06 LX I4 5speed manual

I've only owned it for 4 months, but I've checked mileage every tank.

Best so far is 37mpg, worst so far is 28.5mpg. All other tanks have been 31 or better.

I just switched from my Michelin X-Ice xi2 winter tires to Pirelli P4 summer tires last weekend. I'll be interested to see if that makes any difference.

City just barely 300 .Highway over 400. tires are at proper level using 87 octane gas.What I'm I doing wrong?????

Wait until you only have one gallon left in the tank--then fill it..The fuel light comes on with 3-4 galons left so you can safely go another 50 miles or so w/o running out of gas.You may be buying gas with several gallons left in the tank.
In city driving mpg varies widely depending on stop lights and stop signs. I can't go more than 1/2 mile w/o having to stop for something in my home town and only get 16-17 in town but well over 30mpg on the road with my 6peed 6 cylinder.
