~29MPG from Maryland to Georgia. About 99% highway driving. I'm not sure what I'm getting right now. I'll probably try this weekend to figure out what I get. Never have had the low fuel light come on. 718 mile trip and only use ~24 gallons of gas.

[[ Calculation: 718 miles ÷ 24 gallons = 29.916667 MPG ]]

My low fuel light comes on around 14 gallons too.

03, GT, manual, 87oct. 160 to 170 miles on a tank. When the light comes on I fill it up. Those numbers do not suprise me, all city driving and I mean city driving I rarely get her out of third gear. The good news is I only put 5000 miles a year on the car so it doesn't bother me a bit.

jas142 how long ago did you put your x pipe on? When I first put mine on I got crap for mileage, like 150 to a tank city/highway driving. After a few weeks now my mileage is getting better, I think my computer just took time to "learn" the new setup. Also, my dad is convinced that "winter" gas is horrible and gets you about 10% less mileage than normal. I think he may be right, especially in the snowbelt states, cuz my mileage is better now in the late spring than it was late last fall before I had the x pipe.

To multiply x 2, you would have to be sure that when the needle says 1/2, its really 1/2.

What I do is fill the tank, reset the tripometer and drive till I almost run out of gas...

I did an all-highway trip and got 300 miles on that tank.

225 miles with at least 1/4th gas in the tank left...ususally when I fill up it only takes 11-12 gallons to fill up.

I've seen anywhere from 16mpg to 24mpg with the supercharger on the car.

i get 210-220 per tank. If i go over 220 on the trip odometer ... i'm worried! That's with 87 octane, and no highway driving whatsoever. I only drive 8 miles round trip to work, so a tank still lasts me 2+ weeks ... unless i travel a lot on the weekends!

I just had to put gas in mine for the first time since December. It seems like it takes forever for it to use it all.

and you fill up 15.7 gallons? or until the light comes on?
i get about 180-190 until the light comes on, like 13.0 gallons

those are the bad days, 14 some MPG

i thougth I was rich but the dyno showed otherwise...

Click to expand...

So once the light comes on, you still have another 50 miles or so? Because I've got it down low, but never to the E and the light never came on.. getting about 200 miles before I do that. So that's normal, right?

99 GT, 87 Octane, 5-speed, If I do some highway driving like 60 plus mph, Ill get about 220, but only bout 60 of those miles are highway.
If I do no highway at all, and drive like normal(bat outta hell) then im lucky to get bout 190. Only drive to and from school and work is like 3 mins away. Oh well, its a sports car I guess, not a honda...

Driving fast on city/ hwy average, but not constantly putting my foot into it usually gets me about 320 total or about 21 miles per tank using 93 octane on my 96 GT with 112,500 miles on it!

it probably varies between cars.. i've never run out of gas, the lowest I've gone was 14.4 gallons to fillup the car. that was back when it was stock.

now I go get gas whenever the light comes on since I'm afraid I'll run out of gas with my gas gobbling car

i want to run it dry someday, see how many gallons... if the manual is right at 15.7

190-210 per refilling up at the orange light or just a little below it. Always around town driving, nearly 0 interstate, and I drive the hell out of it.
