Just want to see what ppl are getting in their FD.

I get about 220 a tank. most of that is freeway.

 

I currently have 212 on the trip-o-meter... and I still have 1/3 of a tank left... with 80% of that Highway and 20% City... Blew me away... I'm thinking there might be something wrong with my Odometer...

 

Most around the city i got was 14mpg.

 

search function.

21-23 highway
15 avg. city

 

Terrible in my small town. Not bad if I go some place and the engine actually heats up all the way.

 

320 miles a tank w/ mixed driving
384 miles a tank driving to 7stock.

 

I get 8-10mpg around the city, and about 16mpg on the freeway.

Mods: Single turbo, 850 primary, 1600 secondary, Denso fuel pump. Running 12 AFR and off boost most of the time.

 

About 15-16 mpg, mostly highway.

 

I've been averaging about 15-17mpg, but that's because I only drive my car in the mountains, so it rarely sees any normal driving. On the road I've hit 27-28mpg twice, but I usually get around 24-25 on mainly highway trips.

 

full tank i get about 195 - 215 miles if its all within city driving

mostly Hwy, i get about 280 miles till it hit E bar

 

What does XXX miles per tank even mean? The stock gauge reads empty when there are still 3+ gallons left in the tank.

Not only do these threads appear every month or two, but it has been pretty well established that most of the numbers people report are close to meaningless because of the variety of (mostly innacurate) ways people calculate their consumption.

 

Same for me in my small town. Just filled up this morning. A little over 9 mpg. I generally it drive less than 200 miles per month, so it doesn't really matter.

 

1. All cars are built with a fuel reserve, and i'm sure you knew that.
2. I agree, there are numerous ways ppl calculate and that can really throw off the numbers.

 

Yes - but when people say they are getting XXX miles per tank do they mean XXX miles per 20 gallons (the stock capacity) or XXX miles per 17 (roughly, depending on fuel light accuracy) gallons or XXX miles per 20 gallons plus reserve? And, at least on my car, the fuel light some times goes out when I stop the car and start it again and does not illuminate again for 10+ miles. There is enough here for 20-30% of error, which makes any comparisons moot.

 

Miles per tank means NOTHING!!!!

 

-12

 

Yep, i was agreeing with you about ppl using different methods.

 

About 4 MPG, mostly autoxing.

Up to 7 MPG on track days.

 

drove frome tacoma WA. to Boise ID. wich is 600 miles andmade it on 1-1/3 a tank I drive a completely stock fd.

 

my car must be screwed up cause im getting about 7 mpg no matter what.

 

the easiest way to figure out miles per gallon is go fill up your tank, drive it till almost empty, fill it completely again.

write down the number of gallons it takes to fill the tank. Then take the milage from your tripmeter and divide it by the number of gallosn you just put in.

walah your actual mpg.

this miles per tank think is odd.

kevin.

 

Lmao, nearly puked haha

Oh and i do about 8mpg but my LM-1 wideband is telling me in running really rich so maybe with my PFC installation on saturday it may improve a little.

 

i was gettin 14 mpg all stock
something was def. wrong

 

i remember reading a thread a couple of months ago where someone was getting 20+ mpg with a 400 bhp FD (someone correct me if im wrong)

i get about 13 mpg mixed, 16 mpg highway, and all i have is intake =(.

so basically from what i've read, after replacing fuel filter, plug wires, spark plugs, 02 sensor, and installing a full exhaust (highflow cat not midpipe) with upgraded fuel pump and a properly tuned apex pfc (or other aftermarket ecu) will give you more power and better mpg........am i right?

 

+1 That's the way I calculate it too.

Why do people base mpg on how miles traveled? The needle could be on "E", but could have anything from 1-3 gallons left.
