soccerboy08 · February 26th, 2008, 01:43 PM

so do i. how do you get so much???

whitemustang02 · February 26th, 2008, 01:47 PM

Mostly high way driving, good maintenance, low overall mileage on the car, just a little over 47,000 on a 02.

shadow5403 · February 26th, 2008, 01:58 PM

when my car was stock i got 250 on a tank of gas till the fuel light came on. This is city and highway.

Onemanzu · February 26th, 2008, 02:01 PM

300 was average for me before i started exhaust work

AtlanticBlue99 · February 26th, 2008, 02:39 PM

that mpg sucks. with bolt ons and 4.10s out back, i still get 270 miles per tank. 270 miles/15.5 gallon tank = 17.5 mpg

shadow5403 · February 26th, 2008, 02:42 PM

how much highway miles tho? Dont you go back and forth to school?

work_in_progress · February 26th, 2008, 02:43 PM

thats smart. my deal works out perfectly. i fill up once a week. there is a place on sundays that sells 93 octane (what i run) for the price of 87 octane...

itschristorres8 · February 26th, 2008, 02:51 PM

18mpg running rich here
24hwy!

MWWarlord · February 26th, 2008, 03:23 PM

BTW guys, you shouldn't run your tank down below the E. In fact it's best to fill up before you get below a 1/4 tank. When you get too low on gas all the sediment and crap in your gas tank gets sucked into the engine. I'm not saying it'll kill your car or anything like that. However, over time it does have an effect. It could be contributing to the low MPG.
