I too have thought about running my gt with only 3/4 to 1/8 full to shave off fuel weight.

I think you misunderstood me. I always have a full tank topped off. I meant if I ran it down to 1/2 a gallon left in the tank that I could probably push 500.

FOUR SEVENTY FIVE?

Heh, its not really that hard folks. If you learn to properly drive you should be pulling over 400 a tank in a ST easily. I had my buddies Eddie Bauer Explorer pushing 25 mpg on our last trip when he can only average 18. I dont think his onboard dash has ever read anything over 20mpg when he has been in it.

Its just understanding how much throttle is needed, when to let off, etc. Even if I pull spirited driving trips 3-4 times a week at night, plus driving in DC traffic I will still end up with over 400 every tank.



There is also no reason to run 90+ octane in a stock Celi. Sure its only $3 extra to fill up, but running that every day is just pointless. Now if every 5k miles you run 90+ to give a clean burn then thats one thing.
