Quote: has your wheel /tire diameter changed since you added aftermarket rims? They most likely have, and if they have gotten larger in diameter you have made your effective gearing shorter. Your freeway gas mileage is sure to be better if that's the case. What size tires are you running?
Front: 19x9.5 (255/35/19)
Rear: 19x10.5 (275/35/19)

I didn't have a chance to track MPG with stock wheels/tires since I changed my wheels on the first 15 days after I purchased the car.

But from what I remember, the stockers are much lighter than this set.

I got 273miles on my last fill up (first fill up ever, car's new to me) but i was cruising around with revs in 3000-3500 range

this time around i'm keeping them below 2500 and i don't see myself having trouble getting 300+

but 400+ seems INSANE

i'm happy with 300miles...i'm in canada so that equates to 480kms. My camaro used to get 300km on ~60L of premium...this car has similar power (minus the glorious torque) and gets 150-200km more per tank!

i'm very happy with 300 miles

OK...I usually fill up around 280 miles and will get about 15 gallons each time. That will leave me 2 notches on the gauge before hitting the "E" mark and before the light coming on. I'm sure if I get close to the "E" mark I could probably get between 320-350 miles before filling up, and will use about 17 gallons at the pump. I'm guessing if the other 3 gallons is our reserve tank, which could probably push me to 400 miles? I drive about 24 miles a day (highway) and 8 miles (city). I've done all highway driving once on an 8 hour trip and I got about 410 with 2 notches of a tank left to go. When I filled up, it pushed about 17 gallons back into the tank and 3 gallons left to spare.

According to my navigation system, I'm getting between 19-20 miles (mixed driving) and 24-25 miles (all highway) to a gallon. Unfortunately, I've never really let my gas light come on enough other than a few times, but usually with a quarter of tank left to go I'm at 280 miles during fill ups.

I've got an 05' Coupe (Auto) with 45,200K miles

I thought the MPG sucked i may get 200 to a tank around home but whenever i was on E and the light came on it would only take 14-15 gallons. Also sometimes when i fill up the guage only goes up to 7/8 or so. I think i read a post that alot of the G's had this problem.

Anyway When I drove from STL to Cincinati area (378 miles according to GPS) i made it there and all the next day on one tank.
