How many miles do you get on a tank of gas?

300mi on 12.6 gal (mixed highway and city driving and filling up as soon as the light comes on). Having a lead foot doesn't help matters either. This is in a 2003 Eclipse GT. Sucks having to use 91 Premium too.

BTW - I run a can of Seafoam (injector, top-end, and catalytic conv. cleaner) through the throttle body before every oil change. If I don't do this, after a few oil changes, my MPG drops a couple of points.
 
Well used to get about 425 mpg on a 15 gallong tank but since this last Friday some jackarse hit by truck doing 80 and pushed me into a guard rail it get 0 mpg now 🙁

What kind of gas are you using? Having to run a cleaner through every 3000 miles seems a bit excessive IMHO.
 
'00 SVT Lightning truck
something like 220-260 in town.. 200 or less if I'm laying into the supercharger a lot 😉

320 ish on the highway? estimate...

Damn.

My '92 Prelude holds fills up on ~14.5 gallons and I get anywhere from 250-300 miles out of it.

City driving KILLS my mileage though.

And that tank costs me ~$25/week...🙁

I only get like 230 in my 95 Protege, I'm thinking something's wrong cause I should be getting more... 11 gal tank, its supposed to get 29 MPG but I'm only getting like 22.3 or some crap...

I had the air filter changed and regularly get my oil changed, and I don't have a heavy foot... Any ideas on how to fix this???
 
Should be about 329, according to calculation. That's fully city driving, which is all I do most of the time anyway.

It's probably lower than that.
 
300 miles at least, with a/c on all the time. 13.2 gal tank but I only fill ~10 gals (light doesn't quite trip yet), so averages 30mpg

With a/c off, mileage will surge to 330-350 on the same 10gals, with a 3-5mpg increase due to non a/c usage.

92 Sentra SE-R

 
I just finished off a tank with 427miles, '96 accord v6, went till the light came on, so should have had about 2 more gallons left maybe could have gotten a bit more out of it
 
Tank capacity = 20 gallons.
Total distance ~= 350-400 miles.
Car = G35
Mileage ~= 19mpg
Heavy right foot = A B!tch
Fun = Limitless 🙂
 
I get anywhere from 400 to 500 miles out of a tank in my 2000 323Ci. The tank holds 18.6 gallons but I only ever fill it about 15. That's good for anywhere from 25mpg to 35mpg. I love my car. 😀

My 1996 Ford Taurus can go 500 miles on a tank if it's all highway driving. The tank can hold about 20 gallons if it's totally empty. Don't know the exact specs, and too lazy to look it up 🙂 About 27 mpg, I think.

How much does it hold if it's full? :Q

I can get 430 on a tank before I'm too scared that it will run out on me 😛
 
275 - 300 depending on amount of crap carried around and how much time I spend at the same rate as the flow of traffic.
FOCUS wagon, 2000....... 10 Gallons = fill up.

91. But who knows how crappy it is out here in rural Oklahoma. The Seamfoam isn't very strong from what I can tell, products made specifically for cleaning say valves are strong (used to run valve cleaner through my 250 Ninja and that crap was awful).
