I usually get roughly 300 miles before the gas light comes on, and get 23-25 mpg. Split 50/50 highway/city.

Over a total of 20,220 miles throughout 2006 & 2007, my car achieved 27.7 MPG. I get about 300 miles out of a tank before the light comes on. My car has a theoretical average range of 365 miles from a full tank.

Maybe I should get a new 02 sensor as I've gotten valve adjustment, sparks, plugs, cap and rotor =) Drive moderate...I would be thrilled to get back to 28 mpg on the hwy!

29mpg in mixed driving. Higher compression will generally do that!

I don't know what I get to a tank though. I don't ever let it get that low.

26-28mpg. I drive 90% highway, 25 miles each way. Id say 6 miles on city, and the rest on highway. I drive with the A/C on going to work, and the windows up A/c off on the way home. I drive 65 miles per hour (phoenix speed limit) to save gas and keep the cops off of me.

**** i get 250 and the light comes on...gotta b somethin wrong...but then again, i live in the baltimore area, where even driving on the highway most of the time is stop and go traffic, and is most gauranteed to be during rush hour. so for prolly 80% of the time, I'm either stuck in traffic or driving on redlight streets. So idk if 20-23mpg city seems normal....once i drove a half a tank to Frederick MD and back, and calculated somewhere between 27-28mpg, but i still think it can b higher lol

does any one with a fourth know when the gas light comes on, because if you have one you know the layout across the dash, i had one bar left and wanted to see when the light came on so i drove around for three more days and it never came on, maybe mine is broken. but if i don't drive with "vigor" i can get just under four hundred and about 32mpg was my best, all high way. but average about 26-29
