I'm currently getting right at 400 miles a tank with my 2007 coupe with 13K miles. That's 90% highway with a 78 mile round trip daily. After filling up I've seen the distance to empty read as high as 420 in Nav info. I cruise as much as possible and leave the cabin temp set to auto/econ/ac all the time.

I get between 400 - 420 miles on every tank and that is because my driving is 80% highway.....but I typically run at 75 - 80mph and jack rabbit start in the city to hear the exhaust. Mileage did drop once the 20's went on the car.....

Yeah it will be interesting to see how the fuel economy holds as the mileage increases and tires wear, etc. I've had the car since July 2 and have already put over 5k on.

For anyone interested in keeping track of how your mileage does through the life of your car, you should take a look at www.fuelly.com .. Really good site for it, calculates everything for you.

I get right about 300 miles to a tank on average but that's almost all city driving. If I'm out having fun and getting on it a bit more than usual, it's not unheard of to see 200-220 from a tank.

I did get a speeding ticket in VA this summer and driving back home I got 505 miles before the gas light came back on. My 1st Sgt would have kicked my *** if I'd come home with 2 tickets (not that he was terribly happy about 1). But that trip was all highway driving in 6th gear with cruise control set at ~5mph over the speed limit.

Stock engine, only modification is some heavier than stock wheels that the dealership put on. Wish they hadn't, but oh well.

I see 300-320 miles on a tank but that's in cold weather...a lot of warming up with the car just parked. I am curious to see what I get when the weather warms up.

Took exactly 4 hours to get from Green Bay to Minneapolis. Speeds ranged from 65 to 120. Average speed was 74 mph. FIlled up the tank when we left and ended up filling up about 1/3 of the way back home. Had 409.4 miles and topped off again with 16.67 gallons which averages about 24.55 mpg. I could have gotten about 450 on one tank had I run it almost empty. Was getting about 115 miles per quarter tank.



Seems to me if you arent able to get atleast 350+ a tank, theres something a miss with your car and should get it checked out or a tune up.
