only getting 225 on a tank.

[03SteedaGT]

Hey guys i don't understand why my mileage is so bad I can just putt around and still only get 225 till the light comes on. Is this way off??

Thats decent you gotta figure you drive around town and not just highway.

 

[AlienQuiksilver]

225, that's exactly what i get for city driving, but highway i've been able to squeeze 310 per tank on long trips

 

[LouisianaZJ]

I'm getting 18.9mpg and I drive fairley agressive 75/25 city/hwy

 

[ADRENLN]

got more mods than you and i still get better gas mileage ha ha ha.

probably just your driving mang. i bet if you tried you could get 300..

 

[saleen556]

I would be happy with that.I get to 180-190 and my lite comes on.

 

[JonJon]

200 this past tank until the light came on. but 80% highway.

if most of your driving is city, get gears.. you will use less pedal to get to speed.. but of course gears are fun so you might use more pedal.. depends how you use it

180-200 on city 240-260 on highway.

My cars too slow for the gas it wastes

I think it's 15.7 gallons.

 

[merc123]

I got 39MPG all highway miles from Maryland to Georgia

 

[DaNd4Speed]

425 miles per tank of gas for me....oh wait that's my Sunfire!

My stang averages about 230-250 per tank

 

[hotmustang331]

Is'nt the fuel pump in the tank?If so,I would not run it that low on gas,because there is a chance of your pump getting hot with no fuel to keep it cool and it could lead to premature wear.I would try not to run it under a 1/4 of a tank.My .02.

 

[Kyle-02GT]

I normally get 270-300 when im in school (mostly interstate driving with some spirited city) when Im not in school it normally gets 230-270 depending on how many times I want to see how many old people I can get to give me dirty looks on my trip

Magnapacks + XPipe =

 

[StangLou]

Im about 50/50 hw/city. I just hit 310.1 on my last tank, 320some on my tank before. Apparently driving my car hard gives me better milage

Granted I do run Premium which is $2.01 now

 

[snoopy98]

i get between 190-230 on a average month but when i travel i get about 310-350 to the tank that pretty good i think.

 

[kirkyg]

I think people need to post that they do or dont top of their tank. If you do top off your tank like i do you should get atleast 270 a tank city driving and 300-310 on the freeway. If your not, then there maybe some maintenance you need to do on your vehicle.

I've noticed my highway mileage has dropped from 28 when the car was brand new to about 24 on average lately. I think it may have to do with fuel filter. Do you guys think the fuel filter will drastically affect gas mileage? Scheduled maintenance is 30k miles according to the book.
