I've done just a hair over 500 miles to a tank going from Bakersfield to Phoenix with no stops going the speed limit. Not a fun trip and not doable with passengers in the car lol.

I usually get around 28mpg with my base 6MT. My commute is around 60% city 40% highway. I try and drive somewhat efficiently. I'm no driving miss daisy, but I don't try to accelerate like John Force away from stop lights either. I also go about 80 on the highway, which I know isn't great for efficiency.

I always fill up with shell 93 octane. IDK if it's just me, but shell seems to be pretty high quality gas.

Read my post a few posts above about average mph. There is nothing wrong with your car.

I had to really try. I topped it off until gas was remaining in the filler neck. No problems with the EVAP system but I was nervous. I drove the speed limit the whole way which was mostly 65mph. In the higher speed areas I stayed in the truck lane a lot of the time to try and maintain 65mph but never held up traffic. Creative use of fuel cut when going downhill. No stops which required bringing all of the water and food I needed. Plus a 1 gallon container with a lid lol. One lesson learned, a gallon is barely enough for 8 hours.

I'm not a hyper-miler, just wanted to try it once to say I did it. I was actually going to Mesa, Az and it was right at 510 miles if I remember right and over 8 hours. My mph was low 30s if I remember right, not that crazy but it's hard to maintain over such a long distance. I want to say 33mpg but I would have to look it up.

Lol wow that's worse than my 425hp 5,000+lb Jeep SRT8 which is one of the biggest gas hogs on the roads. Didn't think that was even possible in a V6 Honda product, but somehow you achieved it lol

Nothing wrong with the car. I drive in the city most of the times and get the same 13 mpg.

The only fuel system cleaner I put in my tank is Redline SL-1 or Techron. Unfortunately Techron is not available where I am so Redline is all.

I don't notice a difference in any of my vehicles as I've always put in Top Tier fuel.

My MPG numbers are the same. Shell V-Power is 93 octane east of the Rockies.
