How much gas does your tank get?

What kind of car and fuel type do you use, and how many miles you get a tank?

For me, if I'm only freeway I can push 250, but usually right around 200 and I'm on empty and need to fill up because by 250 my light's on.

14.XX gallon tank. Usually get between 17-19 MPG commuting to and from work. On the HWY, I have gotten upto 35 MPG when she was new and following an SUV for 3000 miles. Now I get about 30 MPG on the HWY.

I get anywhere from 200-400 per tank.

30.5 gallon tank. Last fill up was back and forth to work and 14.2 mg. I see 17-18 freeway though, so i'd imagine i can go about 450-500 on a tank straight freeway

On my car, around 200 miles per tank. Unless I am doing 65 on the freeway, then I can get close to 20mpg.

Is that all you get? I can get to 270 on a tank on freeway/street driving with my gears (4.30's). Before the gear change, I gone 375 miles on a tank with freeway only driving on the stock gears. You need to check on your fuel consumption. That seems too low to me.

What should I get checked?

OH yes, and my speedo is also 5 MPH fast... I checked it with GPS on cruise control on a flat stretch of freeway.

at what speed is it off at? because the speedo will never be a set number off across the entire range, it will be a percentage off. IE 5mph at 60mph is actually 8ish% off, meaning at 80, you are 6.4mph off but at 30 you are only 1.5 off
