I couldn't believe it... I usually average only around 300 miles, and finally came close to 400 miles on a single tank! smile.gif I am happy, I am sure most of you get better gas mileage then me. smile.gif

I used to get close to 400 a tank even with backroads driving. City driving will kill your miliage, as will driving too quickly on the highway.

Best Miliage I ever got was going from Ocean City NJ to Avon, NC out on the outerbanks. Took route 13 all the way staying at about 55mph... 360 miles later, I still had way over a quarter of a tank. I think by the time I drove around down there, I was up to 450+ miles on one tank

I think should be able to hit it...
My record is 1 litre for 15.5km driving (highway)
when the time came to fill up (atleast it said so) I only could pore 43 liters in, so that's 12 liters left.
Drove it mostly at 70-75mph and some parts 50mph

Holland is a small country, 300km and I'm out of this country (that's the longest distance) laugh.gif

I have hit about 420km on a full tank. But it was pretty much all city driving, so I guess thats decent.
I was using regular gas, gas is too expensive.

best i've ever gotten was like 350 and that was all highway. i usually average about 300.

but, i generally don't use cruise, and travel at about 80 on the highway instead of 65.

Using Cruise control and staying at 50-60 mph will do your gas mileage great!

Using 89 Oct helped me tons as well.
