MPT (Miles Per Tank)

[mogi]

i get about 300 miles when the light comes on...i gas up at about 312 or so...roughly 26-27 mpgs.....turbo auto FTW!(cool)

The light comes on at 12 to 12.5 gallons, so you're really getting closer to 24-25MPG...

maybe the light hadn't ome on yet?

I'm getting between 575km - 600km per tank. I'm sort of a granny but do regular shift around 3-3.5K. Thats with the light coming on, then I fill up right away. All inner city driving , no highway and the quickest is around 90km/hr, 90% of the time at 60km/hr.

 

[susamafone]

ive got 370 miles and im just a hair above 1/4 left. did an auto-x last weekend too. car made 8 runs (was being co-driven)

 

[JoshP5]

Unsubscribing. Tired of hearing about you guys getting 5+ mpg more than me. :'(

 

[chaztor]

Bump this old thread. Just filled up after pushing 30+ miles past the light. 382 miles. 50% highway and (YDTM) city.

 

[magnumP5]

LOL Bump. Here's my latest report: drove the P5 345 miles highway back in May, then let the car sit for about a month then drove another 65 miles city/highway for a total of 32.5 mpg. Not bad for about 90% highway, 10% city with a turbocharged car.

 

[ckydustin]

370miles a tank.. 2500 rpm shift .....mobil 1 synthetic

 

[Beau M]

Just about 300 a tank for the last 5 tanks. Between 24-26 mpg, mostly city. Sport auto.

 

[GBean]

2002.5 Pro ES manual trans.
Used to get 360-400 mpt in Salt Lake city (more freeway driving there) Sometimes would get 450 MPT (About 34 MPG)
Moved back home to california and get about 330-360 MPT max. 26-28 MPG. I think the altitude and more city driving are to blame.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

Last tank..

360 miles. On the quarter tank marker.

31.4 mpg

2003 pro5 auto. Mostly interstate ~70mph

 

[dnale]

401 miles on my last tank. I drove probably 35 miles with the light on. I filled it basically to the brim (14+ gallons) and it was a little over 28 mpg. Mainly highway and I set the cruise @ 3500 rpms.

 

[Diehonda]

I pull a consistant 28mpg at over 170K miles. No AC, 75 hwy, 70 mph speed limit on hwy, spirited country roads. I fill up at 325 miles or quarter of a tank.



I also run Walmart brand oil, SuperTech. Have for about 10k miles now. Heard it was good, gave it a try and have really liked it. It's made by Pennzoil/Quaker State.

 

[maxek]

The best milage I have ever gotten is 45miles per gallon. See my post:

[brickisred]

360 or so until the light comes on.

 

[chaztor]

<snip> 32.5 mpg. Not bad for about 90% highway, 10% city with a turbocharged car.

a whaa mpg?? (omg) Is the turbo sitting in a box in your garage??????

my talon and sti (both turbo) would be lucky to get over 25mpg with no WOT.

 

[Sliver5]

380, all highway. myrtle beach to about 20 miles above richmond virginia

 

[speed5hornet]

pre turbo= 385, pure highway miles
after turbo= 271, 90%highway 10%city and running really rich

 

[raserx]

My light always comes on at about 360 miles. At that point I put in 12.5 gallons typically. So ,around 29 mpg here on Long Island ,NY. I'm happy. I was getting 15 mpg w/ my Mustang.(doh)

LOL, turbo is a little GT2554R and I assure you it's on the car and pushing out 9-10 psi of fury. I got this mileage by driving ~350 miles all highway (going into boost a few times here and there to clear mountains/slow cars). The rest was all city driving once I got to my final destination and even then I only went into positive pressure maybe five times. A good tune and a light right foot always helps. Straight city and a moderate foot will yield 20-22 mpg at best.
