The first option was dedicated to your "I'll get to the next red light first" mentality. I've seen the way you drive. You've got a heavy foot.

Here I thought I was doing a great job getting 200+. Some of you guys are straight Prius-ing your cars.

Arben72 · 12-13-2013, 12:20 PM

If you got real gas instead of the watered down shit in Cali you would get 300 too. I average 80-90 mph on the hwy, plus freezing cold thick air helps. No priusing here... My driving involves 90% highway though.

Yay-Z · 12-13-2013, 01:53 PM

Typically 230 miles

Gop-Dogg · 12-13-2013, 11:09 PM

I get between 230 - 250 miles per tank (with the computer saying ~40 miles to empty).

dreamspeed · 12-14-2013, 01:32 AM

I ve found the mpg reading to be around 1-1.5mpg higher than it actually is.

The Automotive Enthusiast · 12-14-2013, 01:54 AM

315

rjd598 · 12-14-2013, 03:29 AM

Why v8 so hungry

grantmax · 07-08-2014, 07:59 PM

Update. I now shift between 4-6000 and barely see 150miles per tank.

Exactly the same for me in city driving. And on the highway I never drive on the speed limit so it is juts a bit better.

Small Yellow · 07-09-2014, 06:19 AM

Highest I got was 458 or something and lowest I went before refilling was --- lol

grantmax · 07-09-2014, 05:59 PM

Lots of votes coming in. The 300+ guys are growing slowly...

Yay-Z · 07-10-2014, 06:07 AM

260 - 280

Sedan_Clan · 07-12-2014, 02:25 AM

When I owned E9X M3's......330-ish miles when babied (..with a quick speed run here and there). I'm looking to better that in my new ///M4.

MrPrena · 07-12-2014, 02:34 AM

Call me cheap, but I've never put a full tank of gas on any of my vehicles past 3 years.

Strange. I did the complete opposite and squeeze every last drop I can. The funny thing is I refill every week and the tank still has slightly over 1/4 left.

Bad habit from driving interstate competing in tarmac rallies where the Evo 9 barely makes the 200km journey without refueling.

OMRITIME · 07-12-2014, 04:55 AM

350 km = 218 miles.....

n14ssv · 07-12-2014, 07:08 AM

Mostly in town driving 180-200miles :|

tdott · 07-12-2014, 08:21 AM

I usually fill up before the light comes on so I don't think a tank is a proper measurement as some will take it further than others.

I average 12.1L/100km (19.4 mpg) none highway just booting around town and some back roads.

On a 3500km roadtrip I averaged 10 l/100km (23.5 mpg), and that was with several hours of 100mph stints.

s85e90 · 07-12-2014, 08:51 AM

A lot of the posts make me wonder.

I fill up every other day!!! Sometimes twice in one day!!

Wonder what? How some can extract more miles than you can? The answer is easy: control of their right foot.

The fact that you need to fill up "twice in one day" on occasion is the telltale sign.
