good or bad gas mileage u think
saturday on a full tank of gas i drove about 150 miles round trip only going WOT once, but i was mainly staying in the 70-80mph range around 2k-2500k rpms.
i came home with a half a tank. it was about 90% highway to 10% city driving that night. does that seem normal or is that consider bad gas mileage?
thanks

I drive 75 'cept when I'm stuck in traffic, and I used to get 280 miles per tank, now with the winter blend of gas, it's a bit lower. I'd say your fuel consumption is normal...
... plus you're carrying around the extra weight of your system in the trunk

I got close to 200miles on a half tank, no WOT driving about 70-80mph, before the gas light came on i was around 450miles. 80% Highway 20% local.
Soon i'm going to see how close i can get to 500miles, i'm thinking i can come very close to it with 100% highway driving

I'm averaging between 150 and 175 on a half tank.
But if you ever start dipping under 250 on a full tank and you're not doing a lot of WOT driving, i'd have it checked out.
