Default What kind of miles per gallon do you get ?

Ok I know gas prices are still hyped up but im not really concerned about the price of your gas, but my question is what is the average miles you guys get to the gallon? I think im getting very little by running my tank low and only putting 205 miles for the whole tank, 2001 Mustang v-6 auto, dual exaust, k&n fipkII

I get around 27 MPG (combined city and highway, mostly highway) in my '97 V6 convertible with dual exhaust, but I drive the speed limit.

2000 V6 auto, I get between 27-30 depending on the mood I'm in. If I keep it at the speed limit and don't accelerate too much I get up to 30.

2000 V6 and im getting around 20mph in the city and almost 26 on the highway but I put my foot in it sometimes too. Sounds like I need to upgrade a little if some of you are getting almost 30.

So how many miles do you guys get before you have to fill up again? I can only go an average around 200 miles to my tank. Question was more of mpt (Miles per tank) not mpg (Miles per gallon) lol. thanks

I have gotten as many as 260 miles on one tank of gas and as few as 220 miles on a tank. It usually depends on if I keep my foot out of it or not and whether or not im running max air.

I get about 200 miles a tank... maybe a lil more.

15 gallons a tank so i average 10-12 mpg I guess. Go V6!

Running a CAI and UDPs - Sounds like I should be doing better I don't even lead foot anymore.

New engine too.. Must have a vaccum leak somewhere.. Do smell gas around my car when I start it... Eh **** it. Getting rid of it soon anyhow. It'll be someone else's problem.

I average around 30mpg on the highway, 20ish in the city, depending on my mood.

I don't usually fill my tank completely, and I've never completely run out of gas, so I don't know what my average miles per per tank is...

Regularly get 30mpg highway, 25mpg around town. 1995 coupe w/ 3.8 and 5-speed. Totally stock with 98,500+ miles. Even still has the original exhaust system on it! I've checked the mileage numerous times and the numbers are consistent. It amazes me.

I can travel from Omaha to Topeka on half a tank. 249 miles/7 gallons = 33 mpg.

I need to clean my air cleaner, and I'm getting a slight miss, 92,000 miles on the odometer, so it's about time for a tune up.

Default Gas Mileage

I have a 2001 and I get 20mpg in the city. I'm not sure about highway mpg but I can go 95 miles not even burn a 1/4 of a tank of gas.
