How little miles can you get on a tank of gas?

sneaks · 10-05-2010, 12:45 PM

I figured I would start something opposite of the high MPG quest.

Brian135i · 10-05-2010, 12:58 PM

Lol...I'm not sure what was my worst mpg, but I think it was around 10mpg. (Driving in the malibu canyons.)

Javier · 10-05-2010, 01:00 PM

my average is 15.4mpg. and i know i've gotten it down to 12

and i've gotten less than 200 miles out of a full tank..

i like to hear the exhaust = WOT frequently

FVM3 · 10-05-2010, 01:01 PM

i drove it like i stole it and it was around 220 miles .... i reset the odometer then just flat it out....after that the clock shows 6 mpg....

iBoost · 10-05-2010, 02:04 PM

Not sure, but i avg 220

next time i fill it up im going on a nice drive and try to get a good number for this thread

335Caliber · 10-05-2010, 02:27 PM

i often go from Las Vegas, NV to San Diego, CA. Its a 340 mile drive. I ALWAYS make it there on one tank of gas, but have to fill up almost as soon as i get there.

I drive average 90 on interstate

so if you do the math, thats about 20 miles per gallon. Of course if i drive slower 55-70, i'll get better gas mileage

love2drive · 10-05-2010, 02:39 PM

Installed CMGS meth and I am burning lots more fuel (due to how fun it is to go WOT)... and lots more rubber. I've decided there is an annual JB3 fun tax equal to the price of two rear tires.

MF80 · 10-05-2010, 02:40 PM

340 on the low and 420 on the high side...

Sal Collaziano · 10-05-2010, 02:54 PM

My car's computer tells me over 400 miles for a tank... It also states 23.5 miles per gallon on average.

dmurray14 · 10-05-2010, 03:32 PM

I can destroy a tank in no time on the (real) track

jb3 fun tax

ETS Michael · 10-05-2010, 03:58 PM

My low is around 350 as well. I guess that will change when the modifications start

My high is in the 400 range

lyndon_h · 10-05-2010, 04:06 PM

you guys must not drive in traffic much. I get around 310 on a normal tank. I avg 20mpg and an average speed of 31mph (a lot of traffic)

vasillalov · 10-05-2010, 04:11 PM

On the highway - 420 easy!
In Chicago - 330 - 350 depending on how bad traffic is.

Those numbers are with summer fuel blend of course. Winter blend reduces the fuel economy significantly

marcel b · 10-05-2010, 04:14 PM

about 100 miles, 7 laps on the Ring

Can do another 0.5 lap but then it is empty, so not a good idea

Anyone under 85?

itsbrokeagain · 10-05-2010, 07:54 PM

best ever was 510 on one tank. Cruised from here to DC and back in a weekend. Filled up right outside the Goethals bridge in SI, and filled up again outside the Holland Tunnel.

rex5272 · 10-05-2010, 08:06 PM

I average 250, just home and school i finish a tank in exactly 5 days.

Bimmer Al · 10-05-2010, 09:20 PM

420kms on the low side....560kms on the high side

techlogik · 10-05-2010, 09:57 PM

I see what you did there.

tcrow31 · 10-05-2010, 10:09 PM
