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

With winter gas, I would consider that normal.

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 get about 110-120 miles at half tank, but that's 100% city driving. when the light comes on, i'm usually at about 240 miles.

sucks, huh?

The needle hit the half tank mark on my way to work today. Trip odometer said 91 miles. I wiped away a small tear from my eye. Then I went WOT.

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.

damn, i push 220 on a half tank on 100% highway driving, i dunno how you're managing that in stop and go traffic.

my last trip up north i averaged 32 mpg and that was driving 70 practically the whole way. I filled up before the light came on and i was at around 450mi.
