    Gas mileage?

    What are you guys getting for gas mileage in your ix? I drove from Atlanta down to FL today, filled up and reset the odo. I got 275 miles (highway) before having to stop to refill...

      back in the day with a stock automatic, I'd get 25-26 on an all-highway trip like that.

      these days, not so much. :p

        Are you kidding me? Wow...my car is more of a mess than I thought.

        I've been battling bad fuel leaks for the past year or so, but at best I was only getting 21. Now I'm down around 17mpg. Highway.

                    Not big. I'm always at the gas station. The new tank I just ordered is listed at 16.6 gallons.

                      should be good enough for a 300+ mile range

                            the stock tank is ~16.5 gallons (about 62-63 liters).

                            the tank he ordered is the same size.
