10358, Average gas mileage per tank?
Posted by Mystic511, Dec-18-01 03:49 AM
What do you guys average for a tank of gas?

I run with 93 octane on mostly highways at about 75-80 mph, and it seems like i'm only getting about 250-300 for every full tank.

Something wrong with my car? What do you guys average for your cars?

Usually 400 miles for me on the highway, sometimes more. Twice I did get around 37 mpg with my car, that's when I was taking it REALLY easy breaking in my rotors, and the other time was coming back home fromthe shootout. I usually get at least 33 mpg with spirited acceleration merging onto the highway :)

im averaging around 360ish.. on all local prob around 280-300, on all highways prob around 400-425.. im sure that i could get more out of it, but ive taken my needles off a couple times now, and im not 100% sure how accurate it is now.. and EvMan (sp?) i hope you are kidding bout the 160..?? if not, might want to check that out. ;-)

what the hell is wrong with most you guys? hehe.. j/k
he was asking for miles per gallon though I beleive.. and if he wasn't.. he should have been.. cause saying how many miles you get per tank doesn't mean anything.. as i'm sure most of you know.. by the way.. in my ZX2 i get about 27mpg city and over 33mpg highway.

Why would that mean nothing, we all have the same engine and same size gas tank. Plus read his question again, that is what he was asking!! ;-)

I got 480 to the tank coming back from the shootout over summer. Boost helps on the highway :)
10381, RE: Average gas mileage per tank?
Posted by Breezio, Dec-19-01 03:15 AM
because you fill it up at different levels.. i'm sure everybody on here doesn't run there tank dry and then fill it up.. hehe. and somebody a few weeks ago was saying that the 95-96's and the 97-99's have different sized tanks... or was it the 1g's and 2g's... i don't remember.. hehe.

i know one thing those.. those 2gnt's have big tanks for little cars with I4's..
I think i only have an 11.6 gallon tank in my zx2..
10382, RE: Average gas mileage per tank?
Posted by DarkOne, Dec-19-01 03:17 AM
True, but the gas light comes on at the same level ;-)

95-96 have a 15.9G tank, 97-99 have a 16.9G i believe.

So i should say 325M out of my 15.9G tank and usually fill up with 14.5 G. So 22 something miles a gallon..
10383, RE: Average gas mileage per tank?
Posted by Mannyyy, Dec-19-01 07:18 AM
There's a gas light on our cars? If so... I've sure never seen it.

I get around 330-350 miles on a full gas tank around town.
10384, RE: Average gas mileage per tank?
Posted by js99rs, Dec-20-01 03:09 PM
i must have got gipped on the gas tank cause i think mine is 13gallons. ive driven a LONG way with the light on and the most ive put in was 12.5 gallons. ~410m/~12.5g=~32.8mpg (sorry i said 34mpg it was 33mpg)
