25.6 mpg average over 40,000 miles.

24-28 depending on what kind of driving I do.

I get around 320 +/-20 a tank in a GT depending on driving conditions. I usually fill up around 13 something gallons.

Best I remember getting was 400 directly after changing my oil and putting a new filter in.

how do you guys do that? By the time I've driven lets say 250 - 300 miles, the needle is already below the empty line all the way down. I drive it like that for a while but i dont have the balls to keep driving. When i fill it up, i find out i still have around 2 gallons in there. like 40 miles more. is my needle scewed up or is it like that for everyone?

best I ever did with my 03 GTS 5-speed was 412miles on one full 16.4 gallon tank - all highway driving. my average is about 260-275 on about 3/4 tank between normal highway and city daily driving. I fill the tank up completely and I get about 380 average.

that's normal. all cars have a reserve. when the needle goes down and the fuel light comes on, there's still plenty enough fuel left in the tank. our 3G's have a 3 gallon reserve, so when the light somes on, we still have 2.5-3 gallons left in the tank....

How many MPG do you guys get?

I'm testing my car right now with how many MPG's my car gets on a full tank. However, I was just wondering what other 3G owners are getting with their cars. THANKS

you all must only be saying your highway miles... When I bought it they told me dont expect to get more than 16 or 17 in the city at best. I have the sheet that came with it that says like 17 in good conditions. I use 93 octane all the time though. Dont know if that really matters though.

I got roughly 380 once on a full tank of gas but that was all highway. On the average I get just under 20 in the city and just under 30 on the highway. Not the greatest but not the worst either.

wow you guys get good MPG, i just filled my tank, had about 1-2 gallons left and added almost 13 gallons which = $40, by the time my tank gets empty ive only gone an avg of 280 miles to the tank which is bad, not sure y, any1 have an idea (and no i dont got a lead foot, i barely push the car) so i guess my MPG is like 19-20, i just added an injen CAI so hopefully it helps a bit, my V6 must love gas that much

Well I haven't had my 01 Eclipse spyder gt that long but so far it has been averaging about 23mpg. I hope since I added the injen cai today that it will go up.

I can do 410 running on fumes but usually around 380-390 to be safe.

City...heh sometimes as bad as 180 (especially if I gotta crawl through a tunnel for 30 min in 1st gear) but mostly around 250.

I have a '00 GT, sportronic. Mostly city driving, alot of stop and go shit. I usually fill up when the low fuel warning light comes on. I dont wait until its completely empty, so I usually end up putting in 13 gallons or so and averaging about 240-260 miles per tankful, so averaging about 18-20 mpg which sucks. Im sure if I waited longer before filling up, I would get more miles per tankful, but its all good. I didnt buy the car for fuel economy, thats for sure!

I just bought my '03 Spyder GTS (still stock for now), and I got 20 mpg with the first tank. Three things that I'm sure brought it down are 1) low tire pressure 2) the dealer put regular (89 octane) in it 3) oil-level was way over...

So, now that I've run the cheap stuff out it, aired up the tires (40 front, 37 rear) and changed the oil, I'm getting much better performance and fuel economy. Course I still drive it like I stole it, so I doubt I'll get in the high 20's...

I have an 00 fed spec gt and I only get about 19 mpg, of course I do 85 on the highway but I'm only turning 3k rpms at that speed. I can never get past 300 miles without my gas light comin on. My car just hit 60k and I replaced my serpentine belt.(and it was a pain in the ass)

Are the vast majority of you guys getting 25mpg driving 60mph? and what speed are you cruising at when your rpms are at 3k?

'00 GT with over 105k miles on it, my last tank gave me over 400 miles, so that's pretty good. I drive 75-85 mph on the highway so i'm not exactly driving in the slow lane.

02 GT with 79,000 and I've been averaging 28.5-30 MPG. Last fill-up was 30 exactly. I do 60 on the highway, and 60% of my driving is highway miles.

'00 RS Auto with 109K or so, I never reached 300 miles on my tank, never really had the balls. That usually translated to around 22-24 MPG for me, my best was 297 miles, I believe.

Wow!!! you guys must really beat on your cars or not have your tires properly inflated or something (I saw a few above that looked over inflated). Worst I've ever gotten is 26mpg and that was when I was down at Normal beating on it or up at Elkhart Lake going around the track. Almost always between 28-30mpg with mixed city and hwy driving. Usually about 70-75 on the hwy.

I drive a 00'GT Fed Spec 5spd. With CAI and Catback but even before those mods I got the same fuel mileage stock.

That cant be. That would mean your car is getting one of the best MPG of most cars on the road including the Mini.

That could very well be, but then again I get 29-32 MPG with my Lancer Ralli Art and the big # is only 29MPG. I don't know must be the way I drive or something.

To add injury to insult, that's running on the stupid reformulated crap with 10% ethonal.

On my last tank I went about 340 miles. That was all city miles! Roughly 24 miles a gallon. Not too shabby!
