I'm amazed with how far I can go on 1 tank of fuel and how far I travelled after the low fuel (orange) light came on.
I went to the meet in TO this past Sunday. Started out with about 200 kms. , then the trip to TO added another 175. Then came my trip to Chatham area today to meet my new puppy. It turned out to be further than I expected and after I arrived there at the kennels, my gas gauge showed less than 1/4 tank. Spent 2 hrs with the peeps at the kennels and petting my new pup and started home. About 25 kms into the trip home, the little orange low fuel light came on. The gauge needle showed about 2 divisions above empty. So off I went and drove a total of 175 kms with that light on. Amazing
After it had been on for 100 klicks I thought this is gonna be tight. We'll I made it. Still haven't filled her back up yet but I'll be interested in just how much it takes.
The Navi went to the warning screan and stayed when the DTE was about 40 klicks . I must have travelled 100 km after the DTE went to **** (0).
Bottom line is I went 777 km on that tank and still didn't run out. That's about 480 miles on less than 17 Imp. gallons.
Not bad after break-in. Now has 4k on her.
Any one else go long distances on a tank?

480 miles...that's a hell of a range for the G. Assuming your tank is almost totally dry now (20 US gals.), that's an MPG of 24, very impressive!

The best I've gotten is 440 miles to my 19.75 gals, 22.25 MPG.

wow, that IS nice! I get 500mptank on my VW Golf TDI, but I only fit 13 gal's of diesel in the tank

 

what the.... I get 403 miles went I drove to L.A....
and that's the best ever...
I can never achieve anything better than 17.5 mpg...
maybe there's something wrong with my engine... >_<

 

Hi GSM

Did you use cruise & if so what speed was it set at?

Thats fabulous mileage, I'm going to check mine out but I tend to have a heavy foot so I don't think I'll get that kind of result.

If you got 403 miles to a tank, that's at least 20MPG (if you had to fill up with 20 gallons). More likely you filled with less than 20 gallons so your actually MPG was higher than 20.

To get to 440 miles, I had forgotten my low fuel warning light was on and headed out one Saturday morning to do some chores....on my way home my G started sputtering while taking a left turn, got really worried until I realized it was only gas. The G only took 19.75 gallons, auto shut-off plus one click at the pump.

You know, driving through LA doesn't count as highway miles... [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I managed to hit 27mpg on the way to Vegas, and I usually only get between 14 and 18 in city, so apparently the car is fine, and it's just me. [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

the best i've gotten so far is 18.5 mpg. Although, i still haven't figured out how to keep the pedal off the floor

 

On interstate driving, I'm getting about 460-490 a tank, as well. I'd say the stated mileage is pretty accurate.

 

I think they fudged some on the gas tank sensor at the dealers.....To cut down on the number of roadside assistance calls....My light comes on ultra early, and I always fill the fukr up....Never added more than 18 gallons to it when I thought I was getting dangerously low....480 miles on a single tank is certainly possible in this car.





&lt;p&gt;
hehehehehehehehehehe

 

its a damned conspiracy mannnnnn!!!!!!
heh but a good way to minimize the calls, you are correct.....i wonder if that has anything to do with the needle moving 1/5th of a tank at random sometimes.

on a straight road trip, i got about 450 or so on a little more than 19 gals.

at 35 lbs in the tires, i averaged 25 mpg (real calculator mileage, not trip computer) at 80-90 mph from AZ to FL

At 30 lbs i average 20-22 mpg in a mix of highway/city driving.

My speed limits here are all 75 so i normally drive at 85-90 mph

8100 miles on my 33 day old G sedan 6MT. BTW that is about 450 miles on a tank (17.5 gallon fillup)

A 20 gallon tank is NICE, although it makes for more expensive fill-ups.
