I've tried to drive my car like a grandma just to see how far I could go in one tank but never sucessfully did it. I always end up cheating

Highest I've gotten is 331 miles in the last 11 months that I've owned my car.

I did the same i went to 7grand thru three gears, but only once, plus I'm in GA so this was also with the ac.

Was it all highway driving for you? I should also mention my daily commute is about 50 miles total of stop and go traffic in rush hour.

Both reg roads, and highway. shift at 3000 rpm's and cruise @ 68 mph.

Yeah unfortunately I'm not as gentle with my car lol.

I think I have gotten up to 360 miles on a full tank. Gas light still had not come up, so I could have probably gone a bit further, but did not want to risk it.

monkeyslide17 · 06-23-2014, 12:38 PM

That's how I felt when I hit 403. But when I filled up it was only 11 gals. If I'm not mistaken the tank holds 13.5 still could have gone alil longer.

I had 402 or 403 as well on my last fill. When I filled it was barely under 11 gallons.

8R6 · 06-23-2014, 01:35 PM

the most i got so far was just over 300 miles and i had a little less than 1/4 tank of gas left. i get too paranoid about running the fuel all the way down to E.

My personal best was around 450 miles right before the light came on. Was cruising to Las Vegas. It was about 95% highway and 5% local. Surprisingly, it only took about 3 fill ups total to get there and back. Would have been only 2 if I didn't make detours for food

DarkCard · 06-23-2014, 05:19 PM

~250 XD

iSnack0nEmoKidz · 06-23-2014, 05:51 PM

~415 E Light was on and everything. If you cruise @65 MPH and dont really accelerate too hard you can definitely achieve this. Let off on inclines and accel on declines

project d · 06-24-2014, 09:43 AM

there is no way you can get that 300-400miles on a tank of gas. There is absolutely no way...

MAYBE...just MAYBE 280 max

I hate when people lie about their gas milage on these forums
