Miles per tank?
Ok, I usually refill when my gas gauge says about 1/4. I find that this usually happens somewhere around 275 or 300. Is this low? I don't drive my car all that hard, and I have no performance mods at all.
what are you guys getting per tank, and when do you refill?

i know this sounds crazy, but i usually go a while past the light which is 425-440 miles for me. at that point, it only takes 12 gallons to fill at the most. i'm so pleased with the gas mileage that i get considering my driving style.

do u two drive your cars like a grandma or something? or do u just do alot of highway driving? cause 420 miles on 11.5 gallons is 36 mpg.
Yeah I usually get between 370-400 a tank and that before the light comes on. Thats running on stock wheels, looking to get my rims soon so I will see a difference. I notice a little bit of a loss in night driving on the gas gauge but maybe its because of my lights that could be. Dunno

I have an automatic LX and I usually have to fill up at about 300 miles, which is pretty good. When I go home on leave, I travel on the interstate the whole way and I get about 380 miles to the tank.
it depends on so many different factors that it cant be properly judged ~ i have an ex with an AEM cai and I get about 350-375 on about 11-12 gallons... which is absolutely fine by me considering gas prices and all...
the thing is...will the type of gas you use also affect the miles you can get on a tank??
the things I've noticed
1. one tank, I can get 350-400mph
2. the fuel indicator is much nice from F-->H....once you get below halfway the fuel gauge drops more rapidly
3. once the fuel light turns on....I went to refill my car and I only used like 10-10.5 gallons!!!
I was using premium 93 gas
i put 87 unleaded in my car to see if that does make any difference with regards to the type of gas
does anyone know (from the manual) when the Low Fuel Indicator should turn on??
cause it seems like mine turns on quite quickly
