How Many Miles Is Your Trip Meter When Gas Gauge Hit Exactly 1/2 Way Mark!
out of curiosity...
Since i owned my car last march. i been watching everytime my gauge hit the half way mark to see how many miles i had... my driving habit are the same... for the first 15K...my trip meter consistantly show 140 miles when it hit halfway mark exactly....
ok. dont all jump on me and get crazy now... just sharing what i saw.. since i switched to chevron permium and also started using mobile 1... a month or 2 after that gradually, my trip meter show 160 miles to 165 miles consistantly when my gas gauge hit the halfway mark. DOnt forget im in los angeles. and its been 90-105 degrees here consistantly.. so cant attribute this to cold weather, if anything i will see better mileage when cold weather comes!!!!
by the way.. my car is at 22500 miles now. and i switch to mobile 1 and chevron at around 17000 miles..

About 140 - 160 but mine varies, because I do 99% city and traffic varies day to day. From the Navi's advanced trip computer history, my average speed per tank is 21mph. I ussually get about 11+ hours of city driving time per tank.

Mine is usually around 170 when I'm playing the role of "the normal Kurt" behind the wheel, and is around 140 when I'm "the driver Kurt."

I have a TSX loaner right now (Milano Red, it's a hot little car), it's a 5AT non-nav. I filled it up right after getting it, and at the halfway mark it was at 255 miles (all highway). I don't drive it aggressively, as it isn't my car. Today it's 365 miles at 1/4 tank. I expected a little better, actually, because when I dropped my TL off for warranty work (which is how I got this TSX) the gas light had just came on at 390 miles.

John Starks - The Dunk
My driving is about 85% highway and 15% city. I usually get to about 200 at the half way point
The pump today was $3.59 for regular and $3.79 for 93 at an Amoco. On Monday the prices were only $2.69 and 2.95 respectively. Almost a dollar per gallon increase!!!
Me driving about 90 miles a day just going to work = suicide!

Gas prices and performance
With gas prices like a rocket. I tried putting in 89 octane yesterday. So far on highway drving I am not seeing any "decreased performance" as it says in the owners manual. Has anyone else tried this? Anyone tried regular 87 octane?
Thanks
Thanks
