Gas Mileage - How many miles per tank are you averaging?

[EternityE92M]

Just been curious. I just feel like I'm always at the Gas pump... And SoCal prices lately are just plain ridiculous...

Please provide specs:

*miles/tank*
1) Year/Model
2) Type of Gas
3) Mileage
4) Transmission
5) Hwy/City %
6) Type of Driver
7) Mods


__________________________________________________ _____
Here are my specs:

*~250*
1) 09 E92
2) always 91 octane
3) ~18k miles
4) DCT - 99% driving in "Manual"
5) 50/50 hwy/city
6) 80% Casual
7) Perf Mods (Tecnocraft Envy Intake w/ BMC Filter, Gintani X Pipe w/ HFC & resonators, Gintani Sport Exhaust, Gintani Tune)

* 250 miles/tank*
1) 2011.5/e93

3) 3004 mi
4) DCT
5) 20% Hwy/ 80% City
6) 75% Casual, 20% Spirited. 5% Track (with mileage this low Track % is high, but it'll drop in due time)
7) MS Pulley + Filter.

when i drive it hard, i get about 230-240....when i try to be conservative and drive to save fuel, i get about 10 miles more 240-250.... u try to save gas and go light on the right pedal, it still eats up gas..makes no diff and just the nature of the s65...so i basically said fuck it and drive it hard 100% of the time...whats 10 miles? 3/4 gal? who cares


(i will say tho that right after the fill up, the range on the dash showing 320-340 really does give me hope...never had it happen once tho)

[EternityE92M]

I wonder what the guys with blowers are getting...

[Erhan]

I've seen between 180 and 220 in my 5-6 tanks of gas so far... Not brilliant but the engine is still pretty new, so hopefully it'll get better over time. That being said, I usually fill up when hit 1/4th.. Usually 13-14 gallon fills.

kinda OT, but how do u get the S mode to default into the max 5 setting everytime u start the car? mine always goes to s3 and i have to push the increase button two extra times....

[Georgeair]

I picked the most absurd answer available and will continue to do so in every thread posting a survey with such a stupid question.

"Miles per tank"

WTF is that even supposed to measure, and why not just compare leaves per parking episode or fries under the seat per meal? Unless you're computing MPG, it's completely useless and non-comparable data that is anecdotal at best.

Carry on......

I'm looking at this as a rough cost comparison to fueling... I know I remember how many miles I usually drive till close to "E". I don't see a average MPG in the car (if it's there, i missed it...), so "Miles per Tank"...

I'm averaging $55-$60/tank at ~275miles. So I know I'm spending roughly 20 cents a mile on fuel...

I apologize if this is merely anecdotal to you, but I greatly appreciate your absurd answer...
