99 LX
531 miles on a tank of gas. filled it up with 94 ultra sunoco. when I say filled I mean maxed. you can pack in almost 4 more gallons after the pump clicks full. I knew it was gonna be a new high with the 94 octane, new mass air flow sensor, and FMIC. topped the b**** off in Dorney Park, PA and made it to Morganton, NC. All highway miles with cruise control varying from 65-70. boost came on sparingly, usually up hills. I wish I had a spare gallon of gas to see how much more I could have taken it, I got nervous towards the end when it was hitting "E"

now bow down bitches
 
yeah man, these 1.6's are great. I have yet to see how many miles on a tank I make, but I know it's great. but 531 is crazy!! especially turbo'd.

wtf? 4 more gallons??? s***.

maybe it's just a 99-00 thing but after the pump stopped I pulled back on the nozzle and allowed gas to flow in slowly until it was completely maxed
 
k , now that that extra fuel cell out ur back of the car... haha..

see cooler air, better tuning, new maf works wonders..
 
man thats awesome! Definetly great! Thats even better than hybrids, lol

I get about 460-470 from time to time on mine, thats ALL highway at 70-85 mph on 89 octane. Usually I get about 390-420 on weekly basis.

Once you went over 500 miles on tank, you cant beat that hehe
 
14.7 gallons when I filled it up in NC but I'm not sure how much was still left, needle was on E and didn't want to find out the hard way

Nitto 215/35/18 tires, any effects on my odomoter is next to nothing, I've checked

also I use synthetic oil

You are correct. Damn! - 36 mpg is great!
 
531 miles = 849km
WTH?
i do have an 1.6l 323f and honestly= i dont really get much more than 500/550km (312/343miles) with 1 fill, although i'm not known as a very fast driver....
 
I get 30-34 hwy., 21+ city w/87 octane. I didnt start keeping track until gas prices got around $2 a gal. in Florida.
