What does everyone on here get for gas mileage? Since May I have been able to go 400+ miles on every tank except for my last fill up I only to 380 a few miles after my fuel light came on. Bear in mind when I fill up I put in enough to almost spill everytime. Last summer I went 421 (~30MPG) on a tank and 20 of those miles was with the fuel light on. I'm impressed with these cars. Granted I baby it most of the time but I still have fun on exit ramps and goofing around enough.

I dont check all that often but I want to say right around 350 or so... granted I drive like a maniac (drive2)
 
wow...wtf, serisouly.

if I drive like a grandma I get about 300, which averages to about 22MPG.

granted, it's an autotranny, but still I live in a somewhat rural area and I'm not exactly in stop-n-go traffic.
 
right now I've got 1/4 tank left and I'm at 300. I think I usually get around 31 and I only drive 6mi a day to and from work so it's all city driving. I think this tank will be better as I am running advanced timming with my Unichip so we'll see
 
WOW, it's good to see that the Unichip really does give better milage, I assumed it would with the leaner fuel map, but I'm surprised at that amount.

If Im on the highway 65 mph ish I'm getting really good milage, but since that never happens I average around 24 real world miles per gallon in the cities. I've calculated it a few times and that's what I always get.

So that means you can go 435 miles on a tank? I did some math. If you used 14 gallons at 31 MPG it would be ~435 miles.

yep, I filled up tonight. I put in 10 gal and I'm at 300mi. so I got 30mpg this last tank. granted I ripped it up quite a bit as I was still on the same tank of gas from the 2 weeks ago when we rallied from burnsville to anoka and I went WOT at every start :)
