dam.... so theres nothing wrong if i literally watch my fuel line drop almost every 10 miles...... it scares the crap outta me when i go only 35 miles to school and i have a full tank and by the time i get home im down at half a tank... im seriously thinkin about doing a tune up at 48k... most of the time i just drive my acura cuz its wayy easier on gas..

if your acura is a 4 cylinder thats 1/2 the size of the VQ35 then yea DUH.
the fuel gauge is nothing more then an idiots guide to how much fuel. I dont look because i think its tappered to stay in the middle more VS top and bottom. I dont know exactly on that. i know i can get least 300miles per tank so when i near 250-275 i would start looking for gas stations.
the guy saying 400+ is very possible he can. we have 20gal tanks in our car. if he gets 22-23 then he should run out at 440-460miles.
but use miles driven divide by gallons filled to figure out MPG

Yours sounds a little low but not unusual in this car. I've found that even if I go easy on the go-pedal I still only get in the mid 300-350 range per tank.
Working the mileage fill-up to fill-up, I vary between 17-19 city and 22-24 highway.
To be honest, I don't worry about it. It costs what it costs and I knew the car had a rep for gas consumption when I bought it.

I get 320-340 usually (19mpg roughly), although it has been 290 before. It gets worse as it gets colder out. I drive like a ***** in all weather. Have a k&n, md spacer and everything else is factory.
I think i actually get better mileage with the spacer, although maybe the car just took awhile to learn how I drive.. not sure.
You have to remember that not only are these 3.5 liter engines, but the whole drive train is designed for speed, not fuel economy

except i never have a full tank heard it makes the car even heavier and my trip is 36 miles "to and back" i also drive my acura get almost the same "96 3.5rl"
However if you at half a tank then thats only about 70 miles......that sounds bad to me! if ur getting 150 a whole tank.......

You guys are just proving the point I made earlier. Miles per tank is near-meaningless.
The G has a 20Gal tank, but the fuel light normally comes on FOUR FULL GALLONS BEFORE that!!! Plus, as someone else mentioned, the needle isn't a linear measurement anyway.
Fuel economy is measured in MPG.
Calculate that, and you'll know if you really have anything to gripe about or not.

I never said I measure economy by "miles-per-tank".
What good is a gas gauge and low gas warning light if it tells you that you're empty when you supposedly have 3 gallons left?
If the low gas light goes off and I have 3 gallons left then I should be able to get about 400 miles on a tank easy.
