Range on a tank of Gas!
 
Lets be fair we all know that Cal has some of the worst gas around, but even with running Mobil or Chevron and not really being abusive with the right foot (3000RPM shift point) 50/50 freeway/surface. Cruising at 75 on the highway I am getting about 250 miles from full tank (no top off, clicks and done) to gas light does this sound normal or should I be getting more?

***NOT FOR COMPARISON!***
I know it is a NA car but my full cattless stage 2 STI was getting 230 miles from a tank... just does not seem to add up

thoughts?

"Per tank" is not a good comparison between two different cars.. I believe stis have 18gallon tanks? And the frs is 13? So if both cars got 30mpg the sti would see 540 miles and the frs 390 miles...

true I know, it does just seem a tad off though, but I would like to see what others are getting

i get around 250 also

jshadeck 02-08-2013 06:21 PM

Based on the math i should avg about 350 per tank, but i rarely go below a half unless im on a long trip. Im actually headed upstate tomorrow morning, ill try to remember to reset my trip and to not have too much fun lol. Ill let u know what i see. Just for the record is urs stick or auto? And is your driving 50/50 city/highway?

I get about 260/270 to E. But I usually fill up by quarter and by then I have around 220.

jshadeck 02-08-2013 06:35 PM

K. Mines 6mt frs. Same specs then.

The most I did was about 335 miles to the tank, which consisted of about 80% freeway miles. My average tank is roughly 285 or so.

According to Fuelly, I've been averaging 26.6 MPG.

Not bad, I guess. I don't drive to save gas, nor do I drive to be fast.

chimmay 02-08-2013 07:04 PM

i got 353 to E. 95% of my drive is freeway.

Asphaltfrs1 02-08-2013 07:17 PM

Most I've gotten was 340, it took 11.5 gallons refill.
Right now I'm a little under 1/4, and have 302 on the trip meter

I only get about 180 miles max before it's time to fill up....my commute is heavy stop and go traffic and lots of traffic lights, 20 miles each way 5 days a week.

Usually when it's time to fill up it's about $38-$40 worth.

subiestar 02-08-2013 09:53 PM

I got 275 going to Vegas before my tank hits quarter. I always fill up at quarter tank.
