How many miles do you get on a tank?
 

I got a 2009 cobalt... auto...AC. Stock car

I drive 75% highway @ 60mph and 25% city. At 530km (330miles) my low fuel light comes on ... and I typically hit the pump at 545km (339miles)... I dont use my AC.

Is this typical?

It has me wondering, because my 2003 cavalier with an ecotec would go 600-650km (372 - 403 miles) per tank with the same route to work. Although it was 5-speed std.

Just curious

Thanks

Sorry ... my cobalt is an LS ( NO turbo and NO bigger motor)

and I am using factory cruise control

MORE INFO FOR YOU

45.5L got me 545kms

i generally get about 36H/30C. this is with an intake, full exhaust, MAF, retune, and 17 inch tires. so not that bad i would say

I run about 625 km on a tank but I am >90% highway. Low fuel has come on maybe 50% of the time when I fill it.

BTW, miles per tank means nada unless you are comparing cars with identical tanks - same make / model for the most part.

Your cavy had a 15.2 gallon tank, your balt has a 13.9 gallon tank. If they both got the same mpg you would go farther on a tank in the cavy but I would hazard a guess you get better economy out of the balt even if it is an automatic ;)

I currently have a stock 2005 cobalt LS with a 44L tank and i get 425km on every tank of gas, 5 more or less everytime

LOL all this talk of liters and kilometers. :lol:

I get about 190 miles to a tank. :twothumbs

I get 27mpg. What's your actual gas mileage? Like the other guy said your comparison is meaningless if the cars have a different size tank.

i do about 85% city driving heavy footed and get mid 17's for avg mpg

My actual (calculated, not DIC) mileage is right around 15-16mpg. Same as above, 85-90% city driving. Stock gas tank.

I get 29-32 mpgs. I fill up early but generally get 250-280 miles.

Last time I checked I had gotten around 26mpg.

90% highway,
at 55-60mph, temps above 50 degrees, 34 mpg.

23 mpg city

90% highway at temps below 50 degrees, at 55-60 mph, 29 mpg

90% highway at 80+ mph: 25 mpg.

300-350. Depends if I hit the track or not during that trip.

with the way i drive now that i'm turbo'd? :lol: i get about 230-240 miles to the tank

rough

360+ im 90% Highway.

29+ MPG, maybe as low as 27 in COLD weather

i was gonna say, i'm about the same. 80's are wonderful :)

I get 300 miles, but thats pushing it.

but I drove nothing but free way on a road trip and got 425 miles in my old 2.2L

Whwn i tuned my lsj for a stoich afr of 15.5 cruisin afr i got 46mpg highway. .. Whwn tuned for 14.699 i got 42ish at 65-70mph my lnf gets 30-36 depending on speed usually 75

I'd kill myself. If i get anything under 280miles, i freak out. :lol:

Keep in mind I pay almost $10/fillup less than everybody else. :lol: Makes the freakout so much less severe. Then again I used to get 41mpg highway out of her with just the intake and exhaust on, so it's a bit of an adjustment. I run the calculation and get back 20mpg and I just about jump out of the car to do a happy dance in the middle of the gas station.

Varies greatly for me cause of the way I drive... :lol: in weeks where my driving is all highway I'll get as much as 50% more out of a tank than other times.

why less than everybody else? I just paid 47bucks for about 12.2 gallons
