Default What is your Miles per Tank average?


Im curious, what is the average amount of miles everyone gets on a tank of gas.

I just had my fuel tank replaced and before they did it I used to get about 280 miles per tank.

Now that they replaced the tank I notice that when I fill up with a full tank im only getting about 200 per tank... I dont understand this, my driving habits havnt changed... but the first quarter tank of gas out seems to go real fast.

I usually get between 270 and 280. Why did you have your tank replaced? Fuel fill problem ?

I get about 13.5 mpg (around town) for some odd reason that I cant figure out....soooo

On the highway I'll get 28-29. Our gallons like 14 I guess? soo maybe its gonna be about 189 around town and like 400 on the highway.

yeah well, I cant help but wonder if they replaced it with a smaller tank

and yes it was having a fill up problem..something was wrong with the tank..


but To loose 80 miles a galon and then to have about 1/4 a tank of gas dissapear off in like 30 miles is just odd.

Before the Vortech I had a best ofaround 355 milesfor a trip I was on, all highway so I hit 25mpg, around town and highway I average about 300 miles, no idea since the Vortech. I thought you sixers got better mpg than us GT's?
