Haha I want this sooo bad.

How can I be down? I just refilled my tank for the second time 2 days ago. I've driven about 120 miles and already I'm just above half tank

How do you guys do it? I cannot resist hearing the exhaust go. I've even tried driving like grandpa but I can't for too long.

Its torture haha

Every time I fill up the pump stops at 15 gallons. With stock wheels I consistently get the fuel light at just between 300 and 310 miles. With my wider/heavier HREs I get the fuel light right around 280 miles. My driving consists of probably 75% city and 25% highway. So I'm averaging between about 18 and 21 mpg.

I've been doing a lot more highway driving lately, so I'm probably 80% highway 20% city. My last tank, I did the calculation myself and came up with about 400 miles for 16.5 gallons. Damn good as far as I'm concerned, especially I cruise aroud 80mph.

I generally get around 390-400 miles out of a tank in my 05 6MT. I'd say 70% hwy 30% city. when I do the math it works out to roughly 24mpg

420 miles! That's some "high" gas mileage.

first post ever... woohoo... anyways, I'm getting anywhere between 350 to low 400's to the tank. Anytime I do a lot of freeway driving I get into the 400's. I have an 06 A/T with roughly 18k miles on it ... oh and its bone stock.

well i saw this thread before i bought the car and everyone scared me ahead of time. i filled up yesterday, full tank for the first time and we'll see how bad it is. i've been shifting at 2500 rpms and cruise around 65-70 on the highway.

:fingers crossed:
