How often do you make a trip to the gas station for your FR-S?
 
As the title says: How often do you make a trip to the gas station for your FR-S?

Got my FR-S 4 days ago, and 2 days later I already was empty and had to fill her up. 2 days later (today), I'm already half way through the tank.

This car is just so addicting and fun to drive. :thumbup:

skidmark86 01-04-2014 07:08 PM

When I'm close to E?

N1rve 01-04-2014 07:12 PM

Like once a week?

1086 01-04-2014 07:14 PM

I usually fill up after about 250-325 miles on 1 tank - give or take how aggressive I am driving

I fill up the BRZ once a week and have been averaging 27 mpg for the last 2000 miles.
The STi gets driven a lot less. I have to fill that car up every other week and have been averaging 19.1 mpg for the last 1350 miles.

Captain Stall 01-04-2014 08:45 PM

I fill once a week, usually for about 40-42 litres after about ~540 km.

diss7 01-04-2014 08:50 PM

Last track day, I filled up first thing, then at lunch, then on the way home. Take that, fuel card.

BlueDubbinTDI 01-04-2014 08:52 PM

9 or 10 days max on a full tank. Its my DD but when its the wife and I we take the TDI. I've gotten 535 on a tank in that before :D

Luis_GT 01-04-2014 08:58 PM

Depends on when it says empty...

mush 01-04-2014 09:49 PM

every 2 or 3 days, i try to fill up around 200 miles

RojerLockless 01-04-2014 09:51 PM

I get 30mpg and there's about 11 gallons to a tank so you can do the math.

dnieves 01-05-2014 12:26 AM

Every other week (unless on vacation then every other day).

Turkish 01-05-2014 01:39 AM

I fill up at around 1/4 tank and average about 2 fill ups per week, averaging 200 miles between fill ups.

It's 13.2 gallons, isn't it?

m.wood0213 01-05-2014 02:01 AM

I fill up once a week. all city drive ~225miles.

I believe what the poster was stating was about every 330 miles.

JonAvalon 01-05-2014 02:12 AM

Once a week at best. If i try hard enough i can squeeze just past 300 miles (Hwy & city) before filling up again. Otherwise maybe in the 250-270 mile range on average.

Tgionet 01-05-2014 02:13 AM

22 MPG over the last 1500.

The pump auto shutoff actually fills it an entire gallon short.

ericmpena 01-05-2014 02:16 AM

You'll make more trips than you're used to because of the small tank, however you should still get pretty decent gas mileage. I get between 28-32. I have to stop and put gas often because at the moment I commute to work 5 days a week.

I get at least 300 miles before I decide to stop and fill up. If I push it I've gone up to 340 or 350, but I think I had topped off the tank which I stopped doing now.

My commute is all highway.

FRSfan111 01-05-2014 02:40 AM

Once a week for normal driving.
On track days I fill up before and after because I'm only getting 9-10mpg on track lmao.

Wow, every 2-3 days? At the rate I'm going, I'm also in the same boat, but time will tell I suppose... I need to stop driving so... aggressively if I want to reduce the # of trips to the gas station.

What's your monthly gas expense looking like? $350+?

userjack6880 01-05-2014 05:39 AM

Every two weeks. My tank isn't empty by the end of the two weeks, but it's a good routine. Did that in my last car too. I seriously don't live that far from work, so this is even with about 5 minutes of spirited commuting. :P

I average about 4 tanks a month - 2 for dd and 2 for weekend trips. Sometimes I end up with more full tanks every so often when I take a bazillion trips during a given month or drive aimlessly to destress.

carlossanchez89 01-05-2014 05:43 AM

I run on E85 so I gotta go every 2-3 days. Turbo!!!!

ntron1 01-05-2014 08:21 AM

Every 400 miles....

540 kms? Wow! I normally get 260-280 kms on a full tank. Now with the SC I get around 250kms.

wrxgoose 01-05-2014 08:36 AM

when i delivered pizza it was every day or every other day. now it's once a week

i drive about 60-70 miles a day, 4 times a week for work. and then sometimes i take the car out just for some fun:iono:
i dunno bout gas but its expensive lol

Scenic Driver 01-06-2014 12:30 PM

Every other day

cfusionpm 01-06-2014 02:14 PM

My daily work commute is less than 2 miles round trip, so a tank can regularly last me 3-4 weeks. If I visit my mom or the girlfriend's folks semi regularly, I still get about 2 weeks.

PoorMansRacing 01-06-2014 02:21 PM

Every other day to every two days. Run on 93 Shell. Spend about $500-$600 on gas. I average 29.9 MPG. A family member depends on me for rides to work, and I ended up moving 15 miles away from my job, so... more miles :(

How much gas is left when the light comes on? 1-2 gals i would imagine...my camry's light comes on with 4 gallons left!

BobRickel 01-06-2014 10:20 PM

I have had my car for 10 days and have put on 1400 miles. It is my DD and I love driving it. I am retired so I am driving it a lot. Have the 6 speed auto and averaged 38 bringing it home from Atlanta. I am averaging 32 around town. Love it!

I said in another thread that I drive like a granny, including highway cruising (80% of my travel) at 90 km/h. You must drive like, uh, an "un-granny"?

I just filled after Christmas break, where I did almost no highway driving, and was also distinctly un-grannylike in big parking lot after the snow was cleared (I'm officially a hooligan :)) and my average per tank is now just over 530 km.

The light comes on with 2.0 gallons remaining. The most I have ever put in is 12.10 Gallons just for convenience. Someday I will intentionally run it dry to see how far it can go.

I see. Good to hear that. I must try to be "grannylike" more! Haha!

hur1ey02 01-07-2014 01:09 PM

I drive about 100 miles / day on my work commute, so every 3 days I'm filling up.

Hardrock4445 01-07-2014 02:26 PM

Every two weeks. it's a DD car for me in the summer. I mostly drive it to work. with the occasional sunday funday drive. have it almost timed perfectly where every 2nd friday the light comes on and i fill it up on the way home from work. now if I know i am going to be cruising the blvd. i usually just let her sit around 1/4 tank and not full.
