You know you get good gas milage when...

[dgspikes]

do you guys count the gallons you put in and divide, or read off of the computer? the computers annoying to turn into miles from kilometers

[nando]

16.5 gallons :)

I never top off when I fill up and usually put in about 14.5, and I don't refill until the light comes on.

I count miles and divide by how many gallons I used. Unless your OBC is extremely accurate (and it's not), you're only going to be in the ballpark range for gas milage. And if you have different than stock fuel pressure or injector flow rates, your OBC is going to be way off.

Total miles on trip odometer / gallons added to tank

You're aware that you can change your OBC to read in english units (ie miles), right?

16.5 gallons :)

I think mine is around 13

i get a steady 21-22mpg in my ix. (300+ miles a tank). I just got 320 miles on a tank today, most I ever got was 360. I make sure to give my car a ferrari tune up every day too, no granny driving here. :twisted:

if you're getting 8mpg with an M20, something is seriously wrong with your engine, or you drive around in 2nd gear on the freeway...

How big is your fuel tank? When I fill up I put between 10-11 gallons in.

Tanks in the 87 and earlier are only 12.5 gallon tanks I believe.

Yours may even be smaller.

whats wrong with second gear on the freeway? im rick james bitch.
when you have 3 fuel pumps this kind of stuff happens :twisted:

me = very jealous

i dunno what my mpg's are, but they are bad, very bad, i fear calculating it

[BS87]

heheh my fuel gauge is awsome. It bounces around like a cat on crack, i never know exactly how much fuel i have left. Sometimes i have a full tank and it says its on Reserve, sometimes its almost empty and its on full. I'd replace it if i wasnt such a lazy bastard.

You probably have to just tighten the ground nut on the back of it. Or possibly replace your SI batteries.

When me and Jordan drove my car down from Lake Oswego, OR. to Corvallis, OR. we were getting 32 mi/gallon. But that was according to the comp.

[e30Matt]

I got 320 to 3/4 of a tank driving back from Virginia when I picked up the one-eight. 8)

[YAN-3]

I get really crapy gas milage about 150 on a full tank of 91 octane.

[CiLK WuRM]

Jesus, if i hear another American whine about gas prices...

If you whine about them, don't ever travel abroad. You'll have a heart attack and die.

You have some of the cheapest gas in the world, whacking an extra dollar onto a gallon sounds like a damned good plan to me. Maye get a few out of SUV's (doubtful)

[randomtask37]

todays trip from Roanoke VA to University of Tennessee is about 280 miles, i made the trip today on one tank and still have a little less than a 1/4 of a tank.
