With my '99 z24 5-spd with 200K miles on it I would get about 350-360 miles to the tank if I dont drive it hard. <---thats city driving. now with highway driving I was probably getting close to 400 miles to the tank.

I have a 1997 Z24 with 142,000kms so (88,000miles) not too sure about the gas millage i haven't had the car long enough lol but it seems to take forever for the needle to move when i totally fill up the tank it goes past the full line n has stayed ther for the past few days now n i have been driving hard to see if its broken or something but its finally below the full line now

Thats some impressive numbers. On the highway I do ok. But in town lately I've been getting not even close to 250. Sucks just watching the needle drop on my '03.

Before i started playing with my car I was getting 31 mpg. I was being able to pull off around 300 miles per tank. Reacently with a vac leak i was getting maybe 20mpg.. and now I won't be able to tell since my car is going into storage this week till next year.

Its kinda funny that so many people just jump in and think that only am I talking about them but think I am stateing there is something wrong with their cars that makes them have worse gm even though I didnt give any names or point a finger at anything.

i drive to and from school 40 miles, four days a week and then just 5 minutes down the road to work 5 days... and I fill up every Thursday. When I fill up I usually have between 1/8 and 1/4 of a tank, depending on if I did anything that week.

i average about 26-27...i can't go by what my tank says really because once it starts to go down...it drops fast after it reads halfway...i let it go all the way down to E the other day and my 'check gauges' light came on...i put $10 worth of gas (roughly 3.6 gallons i think?) and it brought it back up to a little below half...hmm...
I figured 26-27 because i would go just about 260-270 miles and fill it up with 10 gallons of gas...so gas mileage isn't too shabby here =D
