Justs curious to see what the average person gets in a full tank of gas. My car sticker said 20-26 when I first bought it, but I have never had any luck getting over 4xx miles a tank.

Right now I have 425 and my display just started "----", so Im assuming I have a few miles left anyway before its dry. I think this is the highest I have gotten so far and it is mostly highway driving.

20 x 20 = 400
26 x 20 = 520

Has anyone gotten 520 miles out of a tank!?

 

Are you serious??

I know the Z has a 20 gallon tank, but whenever my DTE starts flashing around 30, I fillup to max 15ish gallons...

Since I'm in a ZR, the most I've gotten was around 330 or so... but if I break 300, I'm ecstatic.

 

360 for me

 

422 for me, and thats when my DTE was flashin "----" also, thats with city driving, spirited driving and a little highway

 

+1

My hb would kill me if I let my dte go (---).

 

When the DTE is --- there is still between 3 and 5 gallons of gas in the tank (depending on how you are driving and how the car is calculating). From what I understand the main reason the car suggests that you have --- DTE is because the in tank pump is self cooled by the gas. I think they are being extra careful that you dont burn the pump up. Other reasons are gas tank design and gas slosh.

I always say better safe than sorry. The most I have ever put in my tank was 17.5 gal on a trip in which I got 433 miles out of one tank. The DTE was --- for about 10 miles before I stopped. Last night I put 14 gallons in and the DTE was @ 20.

 

When I was NA I got about 428 I think.

 

I got 386 once. It all depends on what your avg mpg is. Most people will not avg 26 mpg so they well never see over 500 miles on a tank.

 

Isn't bad for the fuel pump if you have less than 1/4 of a tank of gas? I was told that once, and that it would lessen the life expectancy of the pump...

 

I think as long as you dont have airlock or air bubbles in the line, you should be fine.

 

What does it get now?

 

Around 400 or so...

 

If VandyZ is correct about the --- meaning there is 3 to 5 gallons left of gas, I probably could break 500 miles for this tank of gas!

I think I'll take his word for it, but not risk it and go ahead and fill up though!

I have noticed when the --- displays and I fill up immediately, I can usually only get 16 to 17 gallons in.

I have been able to put in 19 a few times.

 

Ive also been having a problem filling up. I never seem to be able to get more than 13-14 gallons in. I found out from nissan that some early model z's have a defective shutter valvein the filler neck. Nissan has ordered the parts for me. We will see what happens.

 

I'm happy just to get 300mi before the light comes on. 75% local/ 15% hwy/ 10% rage

 

437 miles / on 16 gallons (premium) / 27.3 mpg / average speed of 69 mph

all with the top down. Also...

431 miles / on 16.2 gallons (premium) / 26.6 mpg / average speed of 43 mph

all with the top down.

 

i had about 500 with the light flashing and dte was well past zero =)

 

miles... I don't know.

Mileage... 32 mpg.

 

Yeah why is that I only get 15 gallons on a 20 gallon tank. The DTE reads 34 miles but there is 5 gallons of gas left??? Anyway, the most i got was I think 460 miles with 5 gallons left in the tank hehe.

 

Not sure, haven't taken it for a long drive to really test it. But If I'm above 3k rpm, it's not good.
