Uhg, i used to get about 410... Now i get about 205, bigger tank too. I never actually fill up lately, but i used to put about 4 gallons in the eclipse and drive around 100 miles, i put 4 gallons in the stealth, and get around 45. Buuuuut, i suppose going from a 17.0 1/4 mile to a 12.81 is worth the price in gas.

I usually get 300 city and 400 highway, but that is only on 12-13 gallons of gas, not the full 17 or however big out tanks are. My gas light goes on around 11.

wow, maybe I'll get a new o2 sensor, air filter, spark plugs, wires, and ignition coil. sheesh, that would be nice.

Talon: Around 400

Trailblazer: About 250, it sucks.

Usually under 300 in the VR4. I broke 400 once on an all highway drive to the beach. Huge tank though (usually fill up 17-18 gallons) I never got the gas mileage you guys are getting in my 2gnt though. Even when it was NA.

2gnt i dont remember but high 300's, the 1g gets about 320 or so, the neon gets about 450 on the piss water gas, the bike gets about 150. the bike gets ok milage but it could be better, like 33mpg, it should be like 40.

Mine's 400 if I let it run dry.

There could be a lot of reasons.

One of them is that standard>automatic in gas mileage.

an auto will not suck that much more gas. i think stick is rated for only 1-2 more MPG. so were talking probably 30 miles TOPS difference.

its clear that your car isnt in clean working order. a new front o2 sensor would do wonders id say..it even helped me. i could get 420 miles before the light came on before the change.

hehe as for my other vehicles..i get about 300 miles/20 gal tank (maybe a lil more) out of my gas guzzlin (it really is) v6 pathfinder. oh but that was before my lift and fabbed bumpers and all that..i cant imagine what it is now (havent driven it daily since then). :cry

the buick..haha i dont EVEN wanna know. 4bbl carb, 6.6L of displacment...

oh and exhaust can play a MAJOR role in your MPG. i know when i put in my silencer it KILLS my mileage..like by 3-4mpg

hehe, I've had the same 1/8 tank in my car for a month so far... I'm going to need a fuel canister soon.

o2 sensor - $50
Plugs - $12
Wires - $35

Knowing that these items are all regular maintenance......priceless

Currently getting 300 because I have an old o2 sensor, massive exhaust leak before the o2, and a large intake vacuum leak.

When it was new, I'd get 380-400mi

Best was 434 while driving thru Texas and it was still going but didn't have a fuel can in case it ran out, so I could have probably gone 10+ more.

Yup, around the 400 mile range too I'm assuming. I got 30 mpg for the last two weeks that I filled up. Pretty good for a car with an oil leak and CEL 31, 43... :P

Ha... I get around 240 miles on a 24.5 gallon tank in my 02 F-150 4x4.

I haven't really been keeping track lately. But, on the way back from the shootout with the AC on I got about 34-35 mpg and that was 100% highway miles.

auto I get 250-270... 21-25 mpg 1/2 city 1/2 highway. This sucks. How much would a leaky exaust affect the mpg?

decreased lower end.

For me I also have an exhaust leak (or so I hope). But going from a 2.0 to a 4.2 sucks.

i get roughly 600 miles to a tank in my camry, and when i had the eclipse and the gauge worked, i got anywhere from 360-420 depending on how i drove.

I get about 320-350 in town. Interstate I tend to fill up around 425.

That's 24-26 mpg in town and 35-38 on the interstate. I have an automatic with a 60mm TB and stock everything else.
9056, RE: how many miles to the tank are u getting?
Posted by ner947, May-10-06 09:20 AM
Around 300-350 with the megasquirt depending on how fast I drive... when the car was completely stock I think the best I ever did was a tad over 400.
9086, RE: how many miles to the tank are u getting?
Posted by donnyb373, May-10-06 04:37 PM
i filled up the other day, i now have 170 at half a tank....so im not doing as bad as i thought
