Jeez... I see an average of 220-250 miles per tank, mostly back road driving with stops for villages every 3-4 miles. I've only once run my tank till it was *completely* empty (shuddering in turns), unfortunately I wasn't planning on that, so my trip odometer wasn't set up to record the distance for accurate calculation.
How do you guys figure your mpg if not for measuring miles from top off, till completely empty?? |
I typically average between 15 and 17, depending on how I drive. ;)
The highest I ever got was 23, and that was mostly highway driving. :icon_tup: |

As long as you start FULL and return to FULL, you divide your miles against the gallons of gas used. You can drive a half-tank and then fill back to FULL (to find out how many gallons you used) and check that against your tripometer (that you zero'd out at full...) :) |
^ True, lol! (glad I'm thinking)

Well, that sort of explains your great mileage. I don't know anyone other than you that actually drives at 55mph for that distance. The only time I drive 55 is when traffic is holding me up, or the speed limit is 45 or less. I generally drive speed limit +10mph with my Valentine-1 turned on.
I just got 20 mpg on my last tank (Sunoco 94) with mixed city and highway driving, with several full-throttle bursts mixed in. |
I want proof of 24mpg average.
Give me your car for a couple weeks....I'll get back to you. |
