mileage

[Dexter]

I get 27 MPG avg.

one thing i know for sure is that if i use anything OTHER than shell gas i only get from 250 -270 miles on a full tank and my light comes on i know it takes almost 12 gallons to fill, if i am not mistaken our tanks are 14 gal? however when i use shell gas i get more miles on a full tank i get anywhere from 320-330 miles as i get to a half tank i am well past the 150 mile mark, but i goose it from time to time when i reach the expressway or when the open road oportunity arises, and i give myself like almost 1-2 minute cool down time as well with the a/c on thru all of this, also i noticed that my car seems to run way better on shell gas than any other, but i wish we had Sunoco ultra 94 here, Sunoco's down here only go to 93 octane.

I always get 200+ miles by the half tank mark. I get 100mile by the first quarter tank mark. I usually get 360+ on a tank. I usually fill up 13-14.2 gallons. I drive with the light on forever.

Is everyone that's getting well over 300 miles per tank flashed? I just might do it if that's the case.

try not to drive much when ur light is on, itll clog up ur injectors eventualy.

 

[03MSP]

I usually fill uparound 350 miles, semi-sprited driving style

edit: Oh, and from what i have calculated i get about 26-27 mpg in the CITY.

 

[ARunto]

350 is my average for city driving though with all highway driving i can get up to 450.

Just got 460 miles out of a tank before the light came on when I drove down to N. Caroline. All highway, 60-65mph the whole way

And shorten the life of your fuel pump. The fuel cools the pump, so if it's low, it's exposed to air which doesn't cool it as well.

i am not flashed, btw.

 

[murph1379]

wow, I get like 21-22 mpg, and that's an improvement from 20 mpg! (switched gas)

I like the boost as much as anyone, but for the most part I drive pretty normal.

Is there a good way to tell if you're flashed? I asked the "mazdaspeed" guy in the shop at my dealer to check if I'm flashed, and he flat out lied to me, told me I'd be throwing codes if I wasn't flashed, and that since their website said I didn't need it that I must be fine. Can I ask another dealer to check it out? What do I ask them to do?

 

[FSDET]

flashed cars can go 80mph in second gear...

 

[Dexter]

[Yay-Boost]

I get over 300 miles on a tank without the flash. Drive it like I stole it and for what i paid for it I did

[LAZERBLU2003.5]

I always fill up when I get to a quarter of a tank and I'm a 340 or 350 and thats driving 2F2F all the time!!!!! lol

 

[Wiggles422]

The dealer I bought it from said all their MSPs were flashed, but I got hesitation up the wazoo so I really doubt I've been flashed. Anyways I get about 320-330 before the light comes on (all city driving).

 

[msp4you]

dang, how fast were you driving on the highway ?

Anywhere from 65-90
