Lately I have been getting good numbers 280 - 290 city, which is pretty good for my driving.

Highway still not impresed about 360. All highway about 80-90 mph.

My car has 74k miles.

Coming back from the PAA meet I got over 400 miles per tank. That includes about an hours' worth of stop-n-go traffic too...

Normally though, I get about 300-350 miles per tank.

Hey Julia,

He's New Yorker. Here in Southern Cal, there's no 94 octane. Maybe there is on East coast. Who knows?? :p

Geez, something is definitely wrong with that picture. Go get it checked out man. I normally get at least 300 miles per tank. If driven more aggressive, I get about 270miles per tank. 160 miles is very low!

Your gas mileage should increase once you hit 7500 miles and more. When I first got it I was averaging about that much...now slowly as I put more miles on it...the engine becomes more efficient and you will get better gas mileage.

There is Octane 94 in California, It's not the Regular primeum gas which is 91. They sell octane 94 at a 76 Gas station down is Newport beach
