I usually get about somewhere between 200 and 250 on a full tank of gas depending on how i drive. I've read some of the forum members claming that they sometimes get over 400 miles. There's definitely something wrong with my car right? Thanks in advance.

I average 20 mpg with a 20 gallon tank is....voila, 400 miles.

 

And how many gallons does it take to fill up after you have used "...a full tank of gas"?

Using a "full tank of gas" would mean yu filled it up, and drove it until it stalled, in which case, it would take 20 gallons to refill it.

I'm prettys sure what you really mean is you are getting 200-250 miles between fillups Let us know how much it takes when you fill up.


BTW, I usually go 400-450 miles between fill-ups, and then it only takes 18-19 gallons.

No, nothing wrong if you drive mostly cities like me. I get around 230 miles using up 17-18 gallons.

 

Mine determined by which car I drive. In the coupe with no mods I get between 23 and 24 mpg while in the ZR which has a nismo exhaust, I find myself driving harder for no other reason than the sound. In that I get a little better than 21 mpg. People who get 26 mpg and better amaze me. I dump into the gas way to much for that.

 

I've got a stock 06.

Around town I get 16-17 mpg. Yeah my foot is in it way to much.

Recently running back home (Modesto) from Reno, NV I got a little over 28 mpg. Ran 75-80 MPH most of the way.

I can believe 400+ miles off a tank if most of it isn't in town.

 

hmm when you guys get your 20+ mpg, what is your avg mph? Im getting 10-12 mpg on about 8-10 mph. I hope you guys are getting about 25+ mph or it means that something is wrong with my car.

 

im about 19mpg

 

^^wats your mpg tho?

 

23 to 24 mpg combined city and highway. 07 ZR basically stock.

 

My MPG computer never likes to calibrate... I can reset it, let it drive for a while, or whatever. No matter what, I always seem to get between 12 and 14 mpg. Personally I feel like it's gotta be more than that.

 

i get any where from 280-350 miles, usually more towards the 300 area. use your cruise control, believe me its improved my gas mileage by alot.

[QUOTE=bailey bill]And how many gallons does it take to fill up after you have used "...a full tank of gas"?

I usually fill up as soon as the gas light comes on and then from there, I think I've been putting in about 13 to 15 gallons consistently. Thanks for your input Bill.

 

Thanks for your help everyone. I guess when I said "a full tank of gas" wasn't really a full tank of gas. I'll pay more attention to how many gallons I put in instead of assuming the gas is empty when I see the gas light come on.

 

I have a 2006 purchased in March 2006 and I have been tracking gas mileage since I bought it. My average gas mileage from March '06 thru June '07 is 19.97 mpg. If I had to take a guess at the percentages of 'around town' miles and 'highway' miles I would say 70/30. I also notice from my tracking sheet that on a per-tank basis the gas mileage drops almost 1 mpg average in March 2007, which is when I put on 19" wheels with wider tires. The wheels weigh about the same as the stock 2006 enthusiast wheels, but I think the rotational inertia is higher thus consuming more power (and fuel) to accelerate at the same rate.

 

400 miles per tank on average

 

For a Japanese small sportscar this thing eats gas.....I get about 17pmg around town........
