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

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.
