Gas mileage

[3KSL95]

Well im not sure what to think i thought it was normal until i read the thread about yall's gas mileage now im confused. It is my understanding that the 3s has a 19 gallon tank right? well i live in corpus christi a decently large city and i average 350 - 370 miles to a tank in town when i drive home (all highway) i get anywhere from 420 - 490 miles to a tank and i drive quickly regardless. everyday driving i generally shift at around 3500 rpm's i guess my car is a freak, its unusually fast for an SL as well so i guess the car gods like me. lol what do you guys think?

I've never actually tried to figure out my gas milage...but now you have me curious. I'll fill up the tank when I leave work and check how many miles i get on this next tank.

is shifting at 3500 rmp's bad??? That's what just seems natural for my base as well.

well i know my vr4 has a 20 gal. tank.

[talskinyguy]

all the tanks are the same 19.8 gallons.
expect 20 or just shy of that city, and high 20's on the highway.

I get about 250-350 miles to a tank but I've been driving around town like a mandman lately and no highway. I fill it when 1/8th tank is left.

I usually have had bad gas experience with my stealth, althought instead of filling it up i usually put 10 dollars to 20 dollars of gas in. 10 dollars gave me about a quarter of the tank and the 20 in the tank would give me about half of tank.. and I usually dont fill it up about 7-8 miles after the annoying yellow E light comes on. Although helpful.. but I always see it lol.

i get around 20.. i had 15.6 one time tho...

I usually get to about 380 miles before my little "idiot light" lights up. Thats driving hellaciouly hard and not much if any highway. I have seen 500 miles before the light came on before. It would have been more except I put about 70 city miles on the car. I put all those miles on in one day too.

[Gateway]

you guys get good gas mileage compared to me. I usually get around 300 miles on a tank, however...I drive extremely fast. I normally drive 85mph on the interstate (65 speed limit here)

[talskinyguy]

my 28mpg highway was at a minimum of 90 with many runs up to about 150.

[Gateway]

28 must be wrong, considering they are 24mph highway driving off the line, and after 10+ years of driving the fuel economy always goes down.

[talskinyguy]

20k miles on the odometer at the time(2 years ago), and 28 was very right, I was rather impressed myself.

I was getting 21mpg on average city driving, and the sticker says 17 or 18.

[G35turbo]

i get about 200 to 300 miles, if i drive like a normal person may be 325!!!

[Stealthee]

I think these were seriously underrated for mpg from the factory. I figured out if I did a constant highway drive with no city driving I could easily pull 32 mpg. My car was rated at 19city/24highway. I never see below 20 on rural roads with lots of pedal smashing going on. I actually average about 22 per gallon and once again thats mainly rural drivng with very little to no highway/bypass driving.

I'm figuring i'm getting about 420 miles on a tank. So I'm getting 21 miles per gallon, basicly all highway miles ot and from work each day.
