With raising gas prices, I decided to start driving my car more economically on a day-to-dasy basis, and only punch it when I'm actually racing. Here are a few tips to get the most out of your tank of gas:

1. shift @ 2500 rpm through gears
2. Be in 5th gear by 45mph
3. If you cruise at 65mph ( I know it's hard) You'll get 34-38mpg on the hwy
4. If you cruise at 45mpg (5th gear) on the street, you'll get 27-30mpg.
5. Keep tire pressure at 32psi as much as possible.

Doing the above, I've driven 112 miles so far and JUST NOW used a 1/4 tank
At the rate I'm going, I'll get about 370 miles out of this tank. Now you can brag to some 350z guys, or mustang guys that you just beat in a race that your car not only beat them, but you get 35+ mpg on the hwy ..Then ask then to top that

 

at WOT mine gets 4.5 to 5 mpg depending on current RPM

 

I get about 300 on 11gal tank

 

i'm getting about 25mpg street my average speed is 27

 

I got 40MPG (with Gm stage 2) at one time but i can average about 34 to 37. I also got 99.9 going down hill at 65 in neutral one time( i guess that is its max MPG value. Also I can get about 300 to 380 miles out of 11 gallens. I would put the pressure about 36 to 38 for the best mileage. Also I shift at 2.2k and drive like a grandpa.

 

Nice post, it's pretty much how i drive normally...I am definitely a Grandpa driver 98% of the time....I'm averaging around 28mpg city driving and anywhere from 32-36mpg highway driving @ 70mph (cruise control on) when I go to Baton Rouge to see my girl.

 

I thought we had a 13-gallon tank?

 

Ya it is 13 gallons tank but the 2 gallons left is reserve and the fuel gage will drop way below the e mark and the low fuel warning will come on when you have 2 gallons or less left in the tank about 50 miles or less.

 

i got 17 mpg last tank, all city driving. On the highway i'm in the low 30's

 

I think my worst tank was 19mpg, and that was my first tank, which involved lots of stalling.
Since then my worst was around 22mpg.

I have only looked at highway once and was averaging between 75mph-90mph, with a passenger and a full trunk. I got 28mpg.

 

I get 28-29 in the city if I drive easy. ALL city driving.

 

I have heard from two different people that after installing bigger injectors, they have seen an increase in gas milage?

When gas is above $3/gal I shift at 2500 rpm and coast in neutral A-LOT. I can get about 350 miles to a tank when doing that.

 

How in the world do you guys get 350 miles a tank? My mpg meter is roughly around 26 mpg in the city and I see about 250-275 a tank.

 

It's true, since stage 2 I have seen an increase in fuel economy. I went from 10L/100kms (23.5 mpg)to 9L/100kms (26mpg) after 2 tanks of gas. This includes a ton of pulls on the highway.

I shift at 3000, 4000 for 1st gear and Im usually in the passing lane

 

I haul ass in the gator lane and I'm getting about 25.5 now.

 

im at 13.4L/100km. Beat that gas guzzler lol

 

holy ***** man I have never seen 13.4. All city? to the floor?

 

27.2 mpg with mix driving. No to shabby. I fill up about 5 times a month. $50 more a month isnt that huge of a difference. Just one trip to red lobster.

 

I drove for almost 40 miles with my gas gauge needle deep into the circle BELOW the E line, I got 29.5 mpg in the city and like 37 or 38 hwy! Now that was going in the slow lane at like 64 or 65, and cruising city at 46 in 5th gear.

 

UPDATE: I have driven over 160 miles so far, and I STILL have over a half tank!!

 

I guess that the Stage 2s remaped fuel curve improves the A/F ratio better economy better performance.
I only have 600 miles on mine getting close to 30 on the hiway mid 20s around town.
will be getting stage 2 when i hit 1k.
