Wow I had no clue this was possible.

All I had to do was lose 5 quarts of supurfulious oil



Best,

Man, I've done that before. I know for sure that one 340 miles tank was not an illusion. But, now with the lift and new tires, I will be happy with 250 a tank.

Another one......

350...good

250...OUCH

J, is that straight highway miles, or day to day driving?

[JHarris1385]

I drive from souther Indiana to Louisville Kentucky everyday. The commute there is about 45 minutes the commute home is about an hour and 15. Highway miles to bumper traffic near the bridge that crosses the Ohio River.

Great point is I am lifted and running bigger meat (265-75-16)

i drove to Thousand Oaks knowing i could make it on what my gas gauge told me....



and then i prayed i could make it back to Ventura.... i drove the whole way back bumper to bumper, sweating, because my light came on multiple times. but i pushed through and made it to the gas station i fill up at...



weird thing is... it filled up with just under 20 gallons so if i had stayed on the free way i coulda made it to Santa Barbara.... that woulda been 350 on the trip-o-meter...

got happy so i posted

ive never seen the light come on...hmmmmm

I'm not sure I get it, I'm about as stock as can be except recently for performance muffler and green air filter. I'm not lifted, don't have oversized tires, anything. Fluids have been changed, I feel I drive smart and most of the mileage is highway. I've gotten to 300 maybe twice since I've owned it and I consider 270 good and average for me. What gives? How are you guys getting over 300 and some up to mid-300? My mileage ranges 16-17, occassionally 18 but that's it. Yea, I've got higher mileage than most (92k) but would that come into play? I'm stumped and a little aggravated to boot! Especially as gas gets more costly....

yea joe i hear you.. a lot is driving style/area.. my mods are intake and muffler.. plus i have a light rack.. but other than that nothing else.. i was getting 300-350 when i first bought it.. then dropped to like 250... at one point i was averaging 12mpg living near the city.. since moving out of the city i average about 15.. just by being throttle conscious i have gotten up to 16

try replacing your fuel pressure regulator and fuel filter.. the two together will cost about a tank of gas and should be good for 1-2mpg difference even if yours arent totally shot

[circmand]

gets you further on a tank but no difference in mpg. I think we hav an 18 gallon tank but some here report pumping 20 gallons in when empty. That 2 gallons can mean an extra 30 miles and how far do you let the tank get to empty before filling can be another dozen or two miles.

For some reason, I thought we had a 21 gallon gas tank. I remember it being the same volume as my RX7 which is 21. I know my last fill up was a hair over 20 gallons (on fumes), prior to that, it was 19.2.

[etlsport]

we have a 22.5 gallon tank.. ive filled up with as much as 21 gallons before.. topping off will actually decrease your fuel economy sometimes..

filling the neck of your gastank will get charcoal from the charcoal canister into your gas.. and its downhill from there
