Longest on a tankfull

[Red Baron]

Just wondering what is the best ever anyone has gone on one tankfull of gas in OUR region (up North, where it can go from -40F/C to 95F/35C), on OUR friggin' badly kept roads.

My best ever was 641.2 km (that's 398.4miles) on regular, and the little light hadn't switched on yet (next gas station was too far, didn't want to risk it).

I'm sure you guys down South will get better mileage.

What was your best?

Im not sure my precise kilometers but i lasted 3 1/2 weeks once on one tank, just going to school, gym and home!

 

[poboxjosh]

403 miles

 

[uclap5]

over 420 mi

 

[SedanMan]

600km... Only since Ive been checking though. Most of the time I get alot less. Like 500km.

 

[wannabe]

435 until just about E.

About twice a week. I spend between 200$ to 250$ for gas a month.

same here and i avg 380-400!

 

[wannabe]

right now i fill up about every 2 weeks or so, but i used to drive 500 miles every other weekend, so i filled up more then.

 

[Metal MP5]

i don't use the car that much right now because of clutch problems and parts waiting to be installed, so id say it costs me about 30 to 40$ a week, but last summer, i had to fill up every 4 or 5 days, 60$+ everytime (94 Petro Canada)

why 60$ we only have a 2L engine, it costs me at most $35-$40 every 2weeks to fill up

 

[Metal MP5]

the fact that its a 2L engine doesn't really have anything to do with this ... first of all, we (MSP drivers) have to use at least 91 octane gaz, but because my boost is set higher than stock and other mods to my car, i chose to use Petro Canada's 94 octane.

I also have the MPI fuel management and make it send a bit more fuel.

94 octane went up to 1.07,9$ last year, but let's says 1$ a liter for 94 octane, times 50 (50 liters at least), so 50$ for about 4 days sometimes 5. That's more than 60$ / week

you probably put 87 octane in your P5 and drive less than me and your car doesn't drink as much as mine

I got 385 in my MSP. Light was on for a WHILE.

I fill up 3 times a week. I must be taking crazy pills. I also drive 125 miles round trip for work.

I could rent an apartment closer to work for the amount I spend on gas and oil

 

[Metal MP5]

125 mile trip ?

you on crack ? =P

 

[Gbourdon]

No but I should be. Poor MSP has 53K miles on it.

 

[SedanMan]

wow man, where do you live?

I live on Ile Perrot and everywhere I go is minimum 25 minutes away. So it adds up quickly.

Well renting a movie is closer, but that's about the only place I go that is near my house.
