Lately Iv been keeping track of how many miles a tank I get and wanted to compare to other people. Iv been averaging around 330 miles on one tnk of gas mostly highway miles. So post after every tank you fill reset your trip count and let's compare
With all due respect, miles per tank is the most inaccurate calculation you can think of. Miles per gallon is what you need to calculate... Fill your tank, reset your trip odometer, drive (preferably on the highway) refill your tank, document miles driven & gallons added to get to full. Divide miles driven by gallons added &, voila, you have an accurate way of measuring your fuel economy & comparing with others. However, since everyone drives differently, & in different conditions, take the comparisons with a grain of salt.
I Kno that but I'm just comparing basics. When I drive it says about 410 miles on range and I'm only getting around 300 ish. Mpg avg I get 44mpg avg with 18mph avg on an entire tank
Reset your averages & then your range will be more accurate. Also, some people may fill up their tank when it reads closer to empty than you do. Then again, the gauge is just a gauge, it is not pinpoint accurate & will vary from one vehicle to another.
Haha I meant 44mph at 18 mpg. And let me be more clear since that's what's needed .
Step1-fill tank full
Step2-reset trip odometer
Step3-drive car Til almost empty
Step4-read trip odometer
Step5-log onto g8board
Step6-post readings with how mny miles are left on range.
Just filled up over the weekend and hand calculation said 16.something MPG, I forget what it actually was. Granted this is on the not-so-great winter gas with the mods in my sig (shrug).
I average around 27+ highway, got to love non ethanol fuel. Car has a nineteen gallon tank, and it screams and dings for gas at around 385, and takes 14 gallons and some change. My gauge can't be right.
I average 12-13 mpg with mix city/highway driving. No idea how many miles on tank. I bought it to burn max gas at all times (would not be fun any other way), so never really cared about mpg. BTW, I get better mileage in town here than on the highway.
I usually get around 350-370 miles per tank before refilling. Actual average mileage is around 21.5 mpg, but I drive 70% on the highway. I have found that the trip computer is pretty accurate as to fuel mileage, as I calculate at every refill, and currently have over 116K miles on the car. It is 100% stock except for drop in K&N air filter.
The maximum mpg per tank was 26.5 mpg-98% highway, driving the speed limit like an anemic grandma.
330-340 miles tops. 68-70mph highway cruise, refill when the needle is basically flush with the red mark. The verter made me loose about 2mpg.
