How many miles do you drive per fill up?

MindFusion FX · 11-19-2009, 03:20 PM

I wanted to know how many miles everyone gets to a tank of gas and roughly how many gallons do you put in each fill up?

TX_370 · 11-19-2009, 03:21 PM

I average 300 miles per tank.

Err...That will vary depending on your driving and consequent mileage...16 to 28 MPG reported here!

MindFusion FX · 11-19-2009, 03:30 PM

that big of a difference? i figured most people are falling in the 16-20mpg range putting them at roughly 290-325 miler per tank

Totally dependent on how you drive.. Personally I average about 18 out of mine with around town driving and some weekend blasting through the countryside.. I don't count miles...Just fill it when it's empty and repeat!...

kenchan · 11-19-2009, 03:41 PM

yah, about 300miles per fillup.

marcussoori · 11-19-2009, 03:48 PM

Highway driving only, I've easily had 400+ miles per tank...every time.

dcrew1x · 11-19-2009, 04:08 PM

About ~270-300 miles..but I fill up just under a few dots past the halfway point.

I don't like to run the car near fuel starvation. Mainly highway roads

i get 330ish before the warning comes on, but i found out the risky risky way that you've got a good 20+ miles after that point. i definitely wouldn't push it though. i'm trying to get into the habit of refueling around 1/4 to 1/3 tank remaining.

bradz · 11-19-2009, 04:14 PM

Mine is 280 miles. At this time the warning light will come on. I duno my average is only 280, maybe when I get more miles my mpg will go up. I only have 2900 miles right now.

vipor · 11-19-2009, 04:24 PM

my mpg started increasing after the second tank. started about 260 before the light came on, now it's 300 with a lead foot. 330 easy with normal driving. got over 400 on a 3 hour roadtrip

getting 400 miles per tank on your Z is an indicator that you do not drive your Z like it should be driven

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!
