How many miles on a tank of gas (city and hwy) I know awhile ago there was a thread like this, but I want current stats if you have them.
Just filled up today, almost all city ( 20 miles hwy) and got 230 out of a tank... seemed kinda low, but manual calculated was 15.1 mpg
Haven't manually calculated my hwy one yet b/c I have yet to do a long trip with my tune.
Not sure why, but since my tune my mpg's have really dropped off, and no it's not because of over aggressive driving lol

I seem to be getting just a shade over 300 miles per tank and that is babying it with a lot of country roads and a little bit of highway. I am not sure of actually mpg, cause I don't care that much, but my D.I.C. says it is averaging 18.5ish.

I try not to let my tank run down below 1/4, that's just me, but I get between 260-300 per tank with spirited driving. My D.I.C. hovers around 19.6 and only reads in even increments. Best tankful was 360 miles on a trip across RT80 to Western PA with a family of 4 + luggage and a/c blasting.
I didn't buy this car for the mpg but for the spg (smiles per gallon).

Ours gets 360-380 miles when we refill for our normal commute. This is 90% highway and it usually takes about 15-15.5 gallons when we fill it. We've never had a tank below 22 MPG.
Our best ever was 472 miles on a tick over 15 gallons. This was on a 65 MPH cruise from LA to PHX and I was babying it.

I am getting around 320 miles per tank... The DIC is ALYWAYS wrong on the MPG, it typically hovers around 21.5- 22.5 but I am actually seeing around 24 mpg, mostly highway, with a little country roads thrown in, and a little spirited driving thrown in as well

Trip to the twin cities and then some city driving i got 460-470. That was my best tank.
I drive 2 miles to town and back daily. City driving i get about 275-290 if I dont quickly accelerate all the damn time.

you guys need to get on the highway and stay there for a tank, I have pulled over 500 miles twice (519 was the most as I recall) and my average (per DIC) is 21.6 MPG with a lot of idling and off road use on construction sites and fields. If I fill up with an eighth of a tank indicated remaining, I still routinely punch out over 400 miles (highway).
