What is the most amount of miles you have got on a single tank of gas?
Not really something to brag about... On my way to Dallas there was a part where I got down to 3 dots (not even where the low gas light thing comes on) and i decided to check my GPS for gas stations.
Well it had one gas stations about 50 miles ahead of me or 25 miles in back of me... DOH. Anyway i thought with 3 dots it would be no problem but it burned through those last 3 dots extremely fast =( I lucked out and there was a gas station 10 miles closer than what my GPS said. I ended up putting 18.5 gallons of gas in the car which I think is the most I have ever done. Glad I did not have to drive those additional 10 miles on a half a gallon of gas =P Anyway I did 495 miles on a single tank. Was curious what some other people have done. I was driving 80-84 the whole way so I am sure there are some people who have done better than what I did. |
Thanks for being the guinea pig and testing out for the rest of us to know it is better to load up before it gets that far and stress out. I'd rather have gas all the time than have to call triple A or walk to a gas station and get raped for a gas can priced 5 times the price of a gallon.

290-300miles city driving. It sucks!

That will probably change as I am changing jobs and going from 41 miles (one way) 98% freeway to 18.5 miles one way (90% freeway). |

On daily driving I get around 270-320miles to a tank. The best I done on a road trip, grannying the peddle is 448miles on 17.5 gallons of gas.

I'm seeing just around 300 miles/tank. I just purchased a 2012 370Z and I'm a little miffed at the poor fuel efficiency. Only 17.4mpg after the first 1K miles and I'm babying it during the break-in period. The sticker says 18-26mpg. What's up with that? Love the Z but I might have reconsidered a V8 sports car for 17.4mpg.

I usually get 250-300 driving around town, not driving hard. Our tanks are 19 gallons supposedly, and I see around 28 mpg on the highway on cruise control.
|
My longest on a tank was 323 and I ended up filling it with 16.29 gallons. So, I guess I could have probably gotten close to 360 or 370 miles if I was willing to push it. I rarely let it get too far past half a tank though.
I've really only done one really short interstate trip with mine though so I'm sure I could do better. |
100 miles puts me close to half and I refill. 200 miles is when I'm low. But on a trip I've gone 300 miles and then refilled not out of need but I like to keep my fuel pump submerged in cool gas for longevity.

You need to break it in about 5k miles to start seeing better mpg's once you're at 10k... you will level out to max fuel econ. BUT... Dont expect to have ANNNNY fun getting 19-26 or slightly better. You, generally can't worry too much about general fuel economy when buying a sports car over 250hp though... shytty fuel goes with the territory brutha. Try having fun in a v8? you get 14-15mpg,s. |

have had the same as whee maybe a few clicks higher doing a long boring drive from montreal to toronto. cruise on 119 kmph will get u that distance
