So... I just farted and....


J/K...

I'm getting about 250 miles per TANK... is this normal? I was expecting atleast 300-320ish...

Today I noticed I have 160 miles from this tank and only 1/4th a tank left... I'm using 86 octane... Is there something wrong? what do you guys get with your mods?

do you do a lot in town driving or mostly highway and interstate driving because if i do alot of interstate i get about 295 to 340 it all depends and if I am doing more in town driving I will get 250 to 275 so it might be just the specific way you driving the car

In the summer when I had mine out I drove probably 80% freeway 20% city (freeway was probably anywhere between 70 and 77 MPH) and I got 220 for 3/4. I always filled up at a quarter because I have this thing about being low on gas, just in case s*** happens, ya know?

i was once at 267 miles since topping off and it started to sputter, so say about 270 to completley kill a tank

Damn. I get 200 out of a FULL tank if I take it easy (~14mpg). Probably the product of the gears and need of a tune-up. Consider yourself lucky.
