How many miles do you drive per fill up?

Matt · 11-19-2009, 11:40 PM

I fill it up every time I pass my Shell station, which is about once every 10 days. I don't count mileage, and I leave my display on "outside temperature" because the first week it was always showing an average of 15.5 mpg, haha!

Honestly, the last week I've averaged over 18...so I think it's starting to get a little better, plus I had the HFC's installed. So that puts me at around 340 miles per tank.

Yes but I don't want to be counting tickets per mile (TPMs)....

When I first got the car I was running the tank down and getting 350 to 400 all highway. Now it's a mix of back roads and open road and I'm getting 23mpg, sometimes less on the weekends when it's all back mountain roads, then its about 18mpg. I don't let the gas go much below 1/2 a tank now so not counting miles per tank anymore.

More highway for me during the week, more fun = more gas used on weekends. Overall getting about 21mpg and usually fill around 350 miles.

23 mpg! Damn!

When I took an extended (1 hour) test drive in September, the avg mileage shown on the indicator was 19.8
I drove the snot out of that car for an hour (about 68 miles) and the avg was till 19.8

LOL, it was the demo that belonged to the owner's daughter. She must drive like Danica!

About 300 on average, I can say this once that hand gets below 3/4 full it drops like a heavy rock. Quick!.
