How many miles to a tank do you get?

If you gotta ask that kind of question its time for a 3 cyl diesel car. GTS Bruce

I have yet to go on a trip where I'm almost exclusively in 6th at 60+ mph, but I've had a few times where that was the primary content of the trip. I've calculated about 21 mpg max.

Yeah, I'm surprised/skeptical at the numbers higher than 25 mpg - I wonder if they didn't completely fill the tank up afterwards. I've actually done a number of tankfuls at probably 99% of the time in 6th gear (only time out of 6th was getting on and off an interstate), and my best for the '95 was around 23.2 mpg, and the best in the '00 was 22.63 mpg

City-only, I get about 12 mpg. City-highway, 15. All highway, 20. Not bad at all, considering every SUV owner who asks about it is all of a sudden cursing themselves for owning an SUV instead of a Viper. Then they hate it even more when they find out my insurance is cheaper!

Hmmm - my city and work commute (city/highway) mileage in the Viper is typically between 10 to 14 mpg. My SUV (Durango w/ 5.9) is usually 12 to 15 mpg, and its insurance is indeed cheaper than the Viper.

In my '94 I can get about 22 gallons on the freeway, of course I gotta be pushing 110mph...

Does the number of gallons in your tank change whether you're on the freeway or how fast you go (sort of a relativistic effect)?

 

[Kiaser]

Well, 6th gear seems to like 110mph or more

Umm no. I am driving the car back from Chicago to Fort Worth, TX and I wanted to know, so I will know how many times I have to stop for gas. But thanks though...

115 fill ups @ 1,180.517 gallons of gas / 20,925 miles traveled = 17.725mpg average.

Highest MPG - 11.756g / 268m = 22.797mpg
Lowest MPG - 9.379g / 94m = 10.022mpg
Deepest Tank - 17.311g / 344m = 19.872mpg

I can tell you the same info on any of my past 21 cars.
