Of course that all depends on what kinda tuning/mods/gearing you have, as well as how yo drive, but my car's still pretty close to stock with a 3.23:1 rear and I'm turning about 17 city/23 highway and it's normally right around 18-19 mixed...Given a 16.8 gal fuel tank you should be seeing between 285 and 385 OFF THE WHOLE TANK....Which I would not recommend. I'm one of those people that doesn't like walking so I typically fill mine up every 230-250 or so.

Any particular reason you're asking? I only ask because my fuel gauge on my car went haywire for about 2 weeks a year or so after I bought it (during 2000) It would stay pegged past the full mark forever and then just drop to the real level a few days/hours later, and the next time I'd start it, it would go back up to F....Only lasted a couple weeks, and it sorted itself back out...Still don't know what happened, hasn't done it since then.

BTW car is a 99 TA and only mods are HPP3 lid K&N and a bunch of suspension stuff

Hope that helps

I hit 400 miles on a tank once traveling to Illinois. It was all highway. The majority of the time was about 280 miles/tank.

I average around 300 per tank in mixed driving but I drive like grandpa and rarely see over 60 mph. No interstates within several hours drive time of me.

The gas mileage is probably going to nothing once I get the Stage II heads, cam, 4.11's (or 3.73's possibly) and Kook's LT's installed.

I average about 23-24mpg (285 per tank) city and highway driving. I probably floor it one or twice a tank full and the rest is granny driving. I drive approximately 60 miles per day to work and back so gas mileage is what I am after right now and burning a ricer every now and then when I get a chance to. In about 2 years, I will have another daily driver and the torque converter goes in.

I get about 18mpg on mine, that is mixed driving, about 30% highway and 70% city. I drive moderately fast, with a couple of WOT's per tank. Hopefully I can improve that with a couple of bolt ons, but like many have said here I did not get this car for gas milage
