260 a tank for me, with a 50/50 mix of 60 mph highway and moderate stop and go, Course I have only had the car for 6months now, so that was with A/C on. When I drive on the highway, I can definitely see a improvement in mpg's, but the city kills it. And I use only Exxon 93. Oh, and thats granny driving, can't afford another ticket-insurance will let me go, again.

I usually get about 280 or better but most of those are highway miles.

I usually get 17 mpg around town and 25 mpg on the open highway with 3.23s. There was a freak time where I got right at 30 mpg. That was at 80 mph on the interstate. It'll probably never happen again, but I somehow pulled off that number.

Will usually fill up around the 250 mile mark with the auto and with the 6 speed around the 300 mile mark, dont want it getting too low.

Dunno, I never let it get below 1/4 tank. But I still get 26-27 mpg mostly highway driving. Got around 112K miles now.

About the same with me. Some times I can get 280 miles but not often. My foot is too heavy.

i think the 98 have the smallest tank right? i get around 19-21 mpg with 60% highway. the SSRA mod helped mpg also.
