Drove until the fuel lights came on twice yesterday. Went about 320 miles on last tank with A/C on all the time, sometimes idling before getting in, and mixed driving. Used 87-88 octane. Does elevation of where you are driving make a difference? I am at around 4500 feet above sea level.

I am always energetic about my driving style, but like to see the mpg to make sure things seem on the up n up.. In this ridiculously hot humid summer weather this year, I actually averaged 21mpg on the last fillup, best i've gotten on a vehicle in a long time! The ac was on anytime I was in the car too.. I use 92/93 octane fwiw

300-350 on the highway. I average 20-23mpg overall. My trip to work is 100 miles each way of interstate at 80-85...except when I can go faster.
Luckily I don't have to go in every day.
On track days I have gotten 200-220 miles before the light came on. I don't think I have ever made 400 on a tank.

Got a new record for my car on the drive from Mobile, Alabama to Port Arthur Texas
436 miles, took 17.3 gallons to fill up on arrival.
370 miles interstate, the rest was city.
That equates to an average 25.2 MPG.
I even dropped it into 3rd at 80 and had a bit of fun a few times...

I struggle to get 300 miles per tank in my car. I drive about 10-15 miles on a normal day and I would think I would get atleast 17-19 mpg with some city and some highway, sadly though, this is not the case. Even if I;m easy on the gas I still only get a little above 300 miles. Is this how all your cars are or is there something wrong with mine?

Anything will help.
Thanks.

On a few trips (with tailwind?) I've had 500 miles before I chickened out and filled up. Which, if I were to run it until the tank ran dry, would have been over 540 miles.
