I always make sure to have my tires properly inflated, but I usually only get 400 miles to my tank, which equates to about 25 MPG. Now, I always used to drive so I wouldn't go over 3k RPM so as to conserve gas...however, I've experimented giving it a bit more gas with my last full tank, letting it go up to about 3.5-4k. I'm actually noticing better gas mileage, as the actual gauge doesn't go down as irregularly as it used to (deposit on the fuel thing?) and I've gone about 360 miles until I got to empty, and if I killed the whole tank, it would get me around 420.
Possibly just coincidence since this is the first time I've done it, since it doesn't really make sense. Discuss. |

do what i do, fill your tank, reset your trip meter, and than drive and refill your tank. take the mileage and divide it by the gas in the tank and that's what you're getting per gallon.
doing that i think i get around 27-28per gallon |
