How many miles per fill up?

Just wondering how much miles you people are getting per tank before you fill up again. I know there are lots about mpg but I want to know how much per tank.

Re: How many miles per fill up?

It varies on many factors (heavy acceleration, city/highway, at/mt, if you keep your engine running all night long so you can listen to the soothing exhaust pipes sounds via the baby monitor to help you sleep, etc.).

The size of the fuel tank is 20 gallons, so times that by miles per gallon. It can be anywhere from 300 to 500, maybe higher or lower. Most of my driving is within the city limits (lots of traffic lights, stop signs, congestion, road construction, etc) and I usually get around 350 miles per tank.

Re: How many miles per fill up?

I'm getting about 380-400 miles per fill up. Actually getting better mileage with 20's than my stock 18's, go figure. About 23mpg now, & 21mpg before. Mostly highway miles.

Re: How many miles per fill up?

I usually get something in the neighborhood of ~220 miles.
But then again, I fill up the tank when I have quarter left (don't want all the $hit on the bottom of the tank to get into my engine). That's with about 75% highway and 25% city.

Getting about 320 miles per tank so far. I'm still in the break in period. Perhaps it will improve after that.

Re: How many miles per fill up?

Never run to empty....but for the most part my mileage is around 22-24mpg. I run mostly around 70mph on the highways....It would be less I'm sure if it was more of a mixed
highway/city driving....

Re: How many miles per fill up?

I dont even know if my low-fuel light works. My commute to work is close to 40 miles each way, and I never buy gas in oregon, because you can't pump it yourself. So I always buy gas in Washington where I live, so I don't always get a chance to run down the tank. But I've been consistently filling up at around 290 - 340 miles, but I've never seen the low-fuel light. Every time I filled up, the Navi said I had at least 40+ miles to go, so I probably wasn't empty yet. When is the low fuel light supposed to turn on?

300 with mostly city driving on a full tank. I usually don't keep it full tho, I fill to 3/4 at the max because carrying 20 gallons around for city driving is kind of useless.

Re: How many miles per fill up?

Before I dropped my car off at the body shop yesterday I was at 190 with a little over a quarter left.

It sucks to read how many miles you guys are getting....well sucks for me good for you.

90% Highway.
