Well I had my car tanked up at full on tuesday morning at 1200am, well i just hit 190 miles off a full tankof gas and its reserve has just lit up, is that good or bad mileage.

I have a flamesuit I can sell you. Used only once. In good condition. :D

Riccio 04-30-2004 02:05 PM

No flames here - already had my fill of them today at work -

If you put 15-16 Gallons of gas in your car - that's pretty crappy mileage. Without knowing how many gallons a fill up takes, there is no correct answer to your question.

Im' getting about 16mpg right now, filling up at around 230-240 miles on a tank. My first fillup, I didn't even make it to 200mi.

I typically get between 360-410 miles per tank. I use 93 octane.

thanks

Winning_BlueRX8 04-30-2004 03:31 PM

if I granny the car around town, I can just squeeze out 480 MPG. Worst I've done is 330 MPG, and I was driving it like I stole it.




FYI:

I'M LYING MY ASS OFF

410!!!

that would be 27mpg


your gas mileage is really that good:eek:

Winning_BlueRX8 04-30-2004 03:35 PM

With each fillup, I pour about 50 mL of snake oil into the fuel tank. It filters the fuel and helps lean out the mixture.

mikeb 04-30-2004 03:37 PM

I'm glad you are lying

cuz I was getting real JEALOUS

Yeah, they are! Is 80 miles to a 13 gallon fillup good? Maybe I should start shifting out of first when I'm on the freeway...

damn that's great, i only get about 225 till gas light comes an most of that is city driving

Adamrotor 05-01-2004 07:16 PM

now that i think about it maybe its because i warm up the car for like 5 minutes and kool it down for another 5? (ALWAYS)

rx8miami 05-01-2004 07:23 PM

what mileage do you guys get when you hit the hybrid switch in the glove box to turn the car to electric?

j/k, well it's official. I have gas milage post m flash and the whooping improvement in milage is................................................ ..................0.
I was getting 16 city pre-flash and now ai am getting the same damn mileage. Nuttin changed! Car is smoother but I promised I would update everyone on m mileage.

Bad milage. I go 250 miles on a fill-up and the reserve light normally does not come on. It does pop on at about 260 miles though.
