first off sorry for the weird title it was the only thing i could think of. I just have a quick question that yall can help me with..so i filled my car up a few days ago to see how it would do on gas. i drove it very easy other than a few runs to get on the interstate. i went 186.4 miles on 8.430 gallons of fuel when i filled it back up this morning. so my question is. is the about normal for easy driving? i think its around 22 mpg (correct me if im wrong) thanks for replies

last time I figured my mpg was a few months ago, it was over a few tanks of gas and averaged about 18.9 mpg. I get around 270-280 miles a tank. thats with about 1/3 on the highway and driving it "like I stole it".

22mpg isn't bad, i get @18 combined but when i'm not on the highway i'm generally sitting in bumper to bumper so that kills my mpg.

Last time I was bothered to check my mileage, I got about 12.3. I drive it the same way as I did when I checked it, so I assume I'm somewhere between 11 and 16 average.


Mileage wasn't a concern. I put gas in it and drive it around, when it's empty, I repeat.

I get 8 mpg but I drive it like I stole it every single time. No seriously I drive normal most of the time with a lot of fast takeoffs from lights and I seriously get 8

You got a tune so your car has even better mileage (leaner).
I usually get around 18 in town. So that sounds good...
