I average about 26-28mpg, and that's boosting as often as possible. Usually end up filling the tank after about 350 miles, and that's right around the time that the light comes on. Figure if it come on with about 2 gallons left, I could possibly get 400 miles per tank, and that's driving hard. That's about as good as my Civic use to get

Ummmm ... Civic's taste like chicken ... i try to eat at least one a day.
haha

Okay update... Just past the 1/4 tank mark and I'm at 105 miles... not too bad... Haven't passed 3500 rpms once and I've hit 3000 rpms accelerating two or three times. On track for about 380 miles when I hit the light, I think. Does the SoFla humidity hurt mileage??? I don't think there's any way I'll break 400miles on tank, considering how conservatively I'm driving. By the way, 90%+ of my miles are on the highway.

i'll average about 29 mpg. that's about a split of 50/50 highway and city driving. though for some reason, this last tank i got about 20 mpg.......i don't get it. i wasn't pushing it either.

That has happened like once or twice to me too. I have no idea why but it's not just you.

Almost half way and I'm at about 165... Any idea why the mileage seems to drop as you're approaching the half way mark?

i just got 426 miles on 1 tank and i hit the reset button about 6 miles after i filled up so it was really 432 or so. I drove the s*** out of my car for the weekend, and I was on the highway 50% of the time just driving normal with the occassional jump up to 100 mph, i ran about 89 most of the way though.

I barely passed 300 miles on a tank driving all highway on a road trip a while back.

i ran till i had to put in 13.1 gallons in last tank and only got 280 somthing miles

I'm getting to the 1/8 tank mark and I'm at about 325 miles. I'm really not that impressed with laying off the boost if it only got me about 25 more miles this tank. To be honest, I've been a little harder on the gas pedal the past two days, but still much lighter than before.

its to hard to sing the zoom zoom song and stay out of boost. so im going back to being a booshead

 

[Puckpimp71]

yupyup Me too... I was shooting for much better mileage than I got. Oh well...

 

[DSMConvert]

hmm so if our daily motto recited every morning in the mirror is "go fast or go boom" would that qualify as a boost a holic?

 

[Puckpimp71]

I think so. I was getting the shakes after driving around with out boost for two days. That feeling's passed, but I'm still feeling a void in my system.
