my first tank of gas was gone in 2 days and i only managed to drive 220 miles before the light came on. ooops.


the last 3 tanks have lasted about 260-270 miles before the light comes on.


well?
 
You guys are getting like hybrid gas mileage.

I'd rather stomp on the loud pedal burn some fuel and have a good time. What's the fun in shifting at below 3 grand?
 
120 is normal in my car city driving...I usually get 160 in city


This man drives his car! (cool)

I think I get around 200 miles before the fuel light comes on. But I'm like you I don't pussy foot this thing to save gas. I would've bought a civic for that.
 
hey, i beleive in fun driving, but on the highway, once you get to 60, and no one there to pass.. you tend to just cruise

lol

I'm still on my first tank and I'm at around 250...I love the speed rush dont get me wrong but whats funny is that...I've always wanted a quick car...and now that I have it...I kinda..well dont use it unless 'needed'...its nice to know I have it but I dont necessarily need to (drive2) everywhere I go...
 
do you drive iwth you foot in the floor everywhere you go?

no this is economic driving mostly...sometimes flor it...if i really try to go easy under 3 k rpms i can get 160 170 on the tank Once i was driving like crazy and i did 100 miles on whole tank :P
and yes no highway miles just city stop and lights hat I love:p
 
dude, something in wrong with your car... if i shift under 3000rpms, i get 260 to 280 miles a tank..
 
i get like 300 miles per tank.

This tak i have floored it around alot so im at 130 miles at half. so like 260 the whole thing so i guess its still better then you guys.

What i have found it that "spirited"(a median between fun and chillen) is when i actually get the best mileage. I press the peddle to accelerate just before boost, and then it doesn't jug the engine and keeps momentum to maintain good mpg.

i don't drive in the city too often. most of my driving is done in 4th/5th gear at 50mph.

i do get on it often, just depends on my mood i suppose. i'm sure if i hit boost on every shift that i could blow through a tank in 120 miles too. :D
 
I tank 93octane and dont do any highway miles i dont know whats wrong but i would like do get 200 per tank i ussualy get 90 at half tank and im trying to drive slow

I would be very careful with that short commute and dropping the hammer on a regular basis. That's not far enough for it to warm up completely. Fuel in the oil is BAD BAD BAD.....
 
with city driving a behaving I can get 240-260, but with highway only I've hit 320. If Im on it in the city 180-215
