I know there are tons of gas mileage threads, but I am curious to know how often you guys fill up. I am usually every 10-12 days and that's at half tank, maybe a little under. I think that is good but I wanna know if that is normal or worse than average. What yall got?

 

Lol, I'm doing a full tank about once a week.

 

I'm pretty much the same a GoFightNguyen.

 

Tank every 5-7 days. Avg 320miles

 

As often as I can and never let it get less then half a tank.
At $4bucks a gal. thinking of doing a full fill can be nerve racking

 

5-6 days.

 

Funny - that actually costs you more in time and the same in fuel. I always let mine graze empty before filling. Since I started 2/4/6 shifting I'm getting 360+/tank around town (was 320 before).

 

same, about 17 gallons per fill up with a range of 380ish miles every week -_- a lot of highway driving.

 

Seems like every day. This car is a gas pig. I'm just cruising too. No stop light drag racing. I may get 300 miles per tank. Whats that about 15 miles per gallon. I read all the gas mileage threads before I bought the car but figured most have a really heavy foot. Nope. Even with a light pedal gas mileage sucks. My next car will be a hybrid!!! I'm done with psuedo luxury....

 

every 3 weeks or so, less often if i'm away on business. for my city commute i tend to see 320-330 miles per tank, filling up when or just before the fuel light comes on. i don't go quite as low in the winter since an empty tank causes condensation to water down the fuel.

i also skip shifts regularly. i don't really do it for efficiency reasons, more for practicality if i'm not trying to accelerate quickly. one does not need 6 forward gears for routine commute driving.

 

For me it's like stock and dollar cost averaging.
I stopped driving mileage after the first week.

As someone in this forum pointed out.
If I was looking to save $$$ on gas and get better mileage look for another car.

 

That presumes a pretty volatile gas price market that I don't see here (unless you try and fill on a Friday/Saturday of a weekend, or worse, a LONG weekend.

As for improving mileage with 2/4/6 shifts, I actually find the car feels quicker and I don't waste so much time cycling the clutch (possible benefit for the CSC as well (lol)).

 

Here prices are always up and down. Not just day to day but AM to PM not too mention 3 blocks can be + or - .10 for premium

 

Damn I don't feel so bad then! Usually when I fill up its at half or a little past, maybe 265 miles give or take. So in theory I could get 530 miles to a tank. Gas prices are a biotch and the thought of filling the tank from empty scares me...its still 50+ from half!

 

No ****
Have you ever drove up to a tank and saw some crazy number the person before you paid for gas?

I know for a fact that if I saw that HUGE dollar amount one or twice in a month....
I'd be looking for another car.
