#10358, "Average gas mileage per tank?"


          

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 emoji

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!! emoji

i know one thing those.. those 2gnt's have big tanks for little cars with I4's..

True, but the gas light comes on at the same level emoji

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..

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.
