Just a follow up

I would have ended up with about 440 miles on that tank had I let it go further. I filled up before we left for Delaware and had about 411 on it already. The light wasn't on.

you're a cheater... I got 200mile at half a tank and thats like the best. I've gotten 110miles off a quarter tank - the best ever... are you using a high octane fuel? what gas station you go to?

I usually hit up the Sonoco near me. I put good old 87 in it. I have no reason to use high octane in this car. It's pretty much stock except for the intake. I just do a lot of highway driving.

what kind of intake? I use 87 now too and do a lot (A LOT) of highway driving. I do about 100 miles a day and rush hour in the morning and most afternoons. so I guess 100 per 1/4 tank isn't bad given the traffic I suffer through? oh, and I use Shell most of the time (stupid ads...)

I have no idea of the brand. It was forsale on here...my buddy bought them, and we pieced one together for both his car and my car. I probably lost some power...but I gained 2 MPG. Right about now...that's worth more to me.

you can always put a wood block behind your gas pedal so it won't make it to WOT (rofl2)

ps: i'm a silver p5 in baltimore, but it wasn't me on 95 at 5:30am that's for sure!!

 

[Salmon_Rob]

That's great mileage, I'm lucky to get 400km out of a tank. Something's wrong, but I have no idea where to start looking.

 

[P5inMD]

I normally cruise at 75 at night with easy traffic, and up to 85 in the morning with heavy traffic and some city driving. I get around 200 miles on half a tank on average (with hard acceleration on occassion). so maybe if I did 55-65 on highway, I may get more miles. but I'll pay for extra gas to get where I gotta be quicker. time = money = value

Wind resistance is an exponential function, so...even dropping to 70 mph will get you much better mileage than 75. I got 260 miles on a half tank at 70.

Just my $0.02

gives you back a penny.. (outie)

 

[P5inMD]

260? that's like foriegn to my car unless its in the south western region. lol. I'm gonna try that to. and yeah, wind resistance is a B... I got to north jersey (new NYC) in like 2hrs 15min, but my tank was on 1/4 full. but I appreciated the extra 1.5hrs and got some cold stone
