Hey mojo, ures is a S-type R rite? cos gettin about 200miles per tank seems about rite, maybe u cud get a little extra, i used to get about 200-220 per tank, and that was not driving aggressively, when i pushed it, i got anywhere from 120-150.

 

Yea, She's an R. I'm up to about 220 per tank pretty consistantly now so I'm happy. Plus now I feel better knowing that it's pretty normal. Thanks for the tank #'s and not the mpg!

 

I have a STR and I get 27 MPGhwy and around 17 MPG city/hwy mixed.

 

How many miles do you get from a full tank? resetting the trip at full and checking when you get the low fuel level alert.

 

i dont even get 27mpg on my X, how on earth do you mangae that on the R?

 

I hear ya! Sounds quite high.

 

I just got back from a trip from WI to AR andtravelling at an average speed of 74 MPH I got 27MPG. I had no idea that the gas mileage would be that good. I was getting over 400 miles on each tank of gas.

 

Lucky you! sounds great. I've never really had my car on the highway for any length so I can't say hwy milage. I'm squeezing 220 per tank full in town.

 

Sounds like I'm lucky with MPG, looking at these posts.

When I got the car, my trip-comp was telling me I was getting 24 avg (CITY), and I thought that was high (higher than I expected anyway)so I started tracking it manually.

When done manually, I get 23 (CITY).

For the hell of it, I set the trip-comp before darting down to the Keys last summer.(about 3.5 hours, mostly Highway.) The car said I averaged 28.8. My manual calulations said I got 27, so the dash and the actual seem to be pretty close.

Sounds about right! I get about 30 MPG(driving like a lady) highway, and 23 MPG(driving like a lady) city! I get about 23/15 if I push it!

 

i dont know how you averaged 74 mph treder, especially on a long journey. when i use to drive the STR, when i was drivin 90 it felt like i was only goin about 60. when i hit 140 it felt like 90. i dont think my STR evergo 400 miles on a tank, let alone 300, even when i drove like a "lady" as big likes to put it lol

 

I'm getting about 16-17 city ( mix of easy driving plus getting on it some) and around 25+ highway, going to my river house ( mostly 2 lane country roads ) i easily average 27-28, even with opening it up to pass some...fuel and air filters are def. a big thing to watch!

 

How many miles do you get from a full tank?

 

Wow...27+ highway on an R? That has to be record

 

well that 27+ figure is with the cruise set around 69 mostly (60mph limit), i only fill it up now and then or if im driving long distances... i believe mixed 50/50 driving on a full tank i got around 330 miles? and maybe all highway (interstates only) around 450 or so?

 

I'm only getting 220 miles per tank in town driving easy! I am resetting my trip : A : every time that I fill up and checking it when the low fuel light comes on. I am usually putting in about 15.5 gal.

 

yeah i also reset trip A when i refuel regardless of the amount i put in it...hmmmmm...
