Mileage on a tank
 

2013 frs bone stock bumper to bumper I'm getting 300 miles a tank. I drove 6th miles daily round trip for work with 50 percent interstate at cruising speeds of 80mpg and 50 percent at speeds of up to 50th with stoplights. I see people posting of 400 miles a tank is this all interstate driving at 65mpg or am I crazy for thinking there's really no way of getting those numbers since I don't necessarily drive real hard as it is. Don't get me wrong I do get in it at times but I'd never judge my mpg off of that. I always r u need super premium in my tank. Just wanted some feedback on this topic.

Shorts trips will kill it unless you're in 100% grandma mode. The AVG mpg on the dash meter is a lie(overestimates by 1-2mpg). The others with super mileage live in different altitudes.

I've personally gotten 30-32mpg as indicated by the incorrect meter on the dash on one of my highway trips averaging 70-90mph with A/C on(yes, everyone was going 90).

Most of my driving is city though, so I average around 23-24mpg with half grandma/half spirited driving.

My dash want tell me an average mpg I follow my trip settings when I fill up. I would say I get mid twenty and I drive the sane way as u it sounds. I can't keep the grandma driving up for a full tank I've tried. I won't complain about it since I had a rx8 getting like 15mpg lol.

How many gallons are you filling up? Car's light comes on with 3 gallons left in the tank, how dangerously you want to live is up to you.

All freeway driving ~30 mpg * 13 gallons = 390 miles, some report 35 mpg (probably doing 65 on flat freeways) which would be 450 miles.

Most cars are designed to do 300 miles easily on a tank, my truck was that way, my mothers sedan's were that way etc. etc. What you're seeing is average.

I drove from southern Alabama to Atlanta and back yesterday. I filled up at 398 miles with 11.553 gallons. That is over 34 mpg on a manual trans. Speed limits ranged fro 55-70 on mostly divided highway and interstate with a healthy bit of in city driving. I tried to keep no more than 5 mph over the speed limit and gingerly accelerated when starting from stop. It sucked and I will probably never do it again. I was just curious to see how well I could do. I really wanted 400+, but I was on my low fuel light already with about 20 miles to my next known exit with fuel.

Thanks for the info. It confirmed my suspicion. I do a good bit of city driving in Pensacola to and from work and I would say gill up always over 2 gallons left. I didn't realize I had 3 gallons left when light comes on so I would be pushing about 350 if I did live more dangerously on fill ups

My best mpg was 31.2, my worst was 16.5 iirc


All calculated with fuelly

never believe the sticker mileage. Holy cow that test is rigged so many ways.

On trips I average 375 miles per tank. On dd numbers I drops to 350 miles per tank average

I can get about 330-340 a tank. I do about 80% highway at 75+ mph and 20% city.

I'm getting roughly 320 out of a tank, with mostly freeway driving

Mind you I only use 93 non ethanol gas

I am averaging around 450-500km. With anywhere from 7 to 4 liters left in the tank.

I get a lot worst MPG than most everyone because most of my trips are short and in the city. My best two fill-ups I was at about 30mpg averaging about 75-80mph (100% hwy). I can probably get 33-35mpg if I dropped down to 60-65mph. I think it is partly due to the cheap 91 octane Costco gas I use a lot. I don't think I drive too spirited but I guess I do... life is too short to baby this car. Pretty much all of my miles in FRS is captured in Fuelly below.
