How many miles do you get on a full tank?
I have an 06 5AT Coupe and I get between 350-400 miles per tank. Just keep up on the maintenance and take it easy on the gas pedal. With work commutes, I usually don't rev it above 3000 RPMs. I'd say my commute is 50/50 highway to city. Oh, and keep that air pressure up in the tires!

A few months after i got my 04 coupe(I think a granny owned it) I used to get 320-350 per tank before the light turn on. Then my cats went bad, then I unplug the battery cable for about 30 mins.
Now I get 220-250 per tank before the light turns on. I have art pipe now and this weekend I'm going to install xyz pipe with res....
i might have a lazy oxygen sensors, it's a 04 so I think it's time to change them out. Maybe y'all should too for people with bad gas mileage?

Driving about 90% city here in Chicago... my light usually turns on with about 240-250 miles. I usually fill up just before 260. It's pretty frustrating coming from a car that can do 400 miles city. :\
Reading this thread made me jealous. I'm averaging 14.5 mpg. Think I get around 160 miles with a quarter tank left which is when I fill up. That's going off my nav calculations. I'm thinking I got better mpg out of my 95 blazer. I don't drive aggressive. But what kills me is no highway n most of my trips are 20 min or less. So does that sound right as far as mpg go or should I b checking stuff in my car? Air filter and oil were changed at the end of summer. Always fill up with shell premium.
i aim for 300 miles at a quarter tank left, i get that fairly often, but when i drive all city yeaaa no more than 270 at a quarter tank left. when i drove down to LA once i was almost getting 30mpg. my cruising range + what i drove was like 500miles

when I first bought the G in Chicago I was driving back to MN and got about 420 on a tank. this was heaven to me since I just traded in a Jeep Wrangler on it, and the Jeep got about 12mpg...
Now i see about 320-350 a tank with about 50/50 city and highway driving, but I also tend to get heavy on the throttle.

i can get over 350 miles on a full tank if i'm taking it easy in my 05 AT. i've never ran it completely empty tho. i have driven a little ways with the gas light on and fill up at around 360ish and that's on regular fuel. i'd like to run it all the way down. i bet i could get approx 400. i can't remember if premium made a difference in mpg or not. if i'm driving spirited i get approx 300...ish.

Any ideas where to start. Tire pressure is around 31 I think. In the end of summer i started my 60k service with oil, trans, diff, ps fluid, air filter, cabin filter change.
damn. makes me feel like i should change more of my fluids and filters. i got my car a few months ago but, i'm sure the 60k maint wasn't fully done.
All good stuff there. I have no idea why you're getting low miles. It's maybe the gas your using. What are you using ?
If you're going to get it let us know if it improved your mpg or not.
