miles per tank

thread already started about that..didn't get that far but theirs a general idea of what most people get whether you hard on the gas or not.

I have a '00 Fed spec GT with a 5-speed. On the stock rims and tires I got a little over 25mpg. The needle would be on E and the gas light would come on about 320 miles, but it would only take about 12-13 gallons when I filled up.

I now have Kosei K1 racing rims in 17x7, and Kumho Ecsta MX tires in 225/45. Although I got a 5lbs reduction in unsprung wheel weight, the extra drag of the wider tires has me down to about 22.5mpg

And the gas milage thread has been done many times before.

I should add that I have about 33K on the car. I live in Hawaii, so it is always hot and the A/C is pretty much always on.

 

In all fairness, there is not another thread on this board relating to GT/GTS gas milage specifically.

I get about 275 miles when the needle hits "E" on my sporty.

 

Well I just recently tested my milage as I am nearly at the 70,000 mile mark and in need of my 60,000 tuneup, just don't have the $500, but freeway driving average speed of 70mph I got 400 miles when the gas light came on. city driving I got just under 320 miles. I am getting 24-30 mpg. 2001 cali spec sporty.

 

Looks like this week will come in just over 300 with the SDS...

 

I also get 24-31 Fed spec GT 5 spd

true i didn't think about GT/GTS specifically.

 

wtf i am lucky if i hit 230miles to the tank

 

i should add i usually run mid-grade fuel

 

I get between 260 - 280 miles per tank. GTS Spyder, sporty, with the top down most of the time.

 

i get about 350-400 on my 00 fed 5 speed

most of you guys must drive on freeway 55+ mph, i drive in city 25-35mph and like i said i am lucky if i see 240 miles to the tank

I hear ya. Almost no freeway miles here. I probably get 18 mpg

oh no i do.. just do mostly freeway driving

 

Are you guys seriously getting that good of gas milage? I checked mine and It was at 224 miles when the light came on. im checking this again to make sure.

 

I have an 01 GT Sporty Cali spec and I get about 320 in the city, and around 420 or so on the highway.

Ok did it again on this last fill up. I got 300 on 14 gallons. must of gotten a bad batch of gas last time or something.

 

Been getting 25-31mpg running 89 and 93 octane alternating every other tank. Find that actually on the highway I get better gas mileage with the 89 octane.

00' Fed spec GT 5-speed

 

I've got an '01 GT (Cali spec) 5-sp. Up until a couple of months ago, I could go 320 miles and I would have exactly 1/4 of a tank (The needle was right on the line). Now I'm lucky if I get 300 miles before the needle is on the 1/4 of a tank line. Hot weather maybe? :dunno:

 

Not to sound like an idiot or noob but how the hell do I know exactly what kind of mileage im getting? You guys are getting some pretty accurate readings like 22.5. Should I just look at the mileage i have on my car when i fill it up to the top and then when i hit the gas light should i just take the 2 numbers and subtract them or something?

 

It's pretty easy. You take the number of gallons you put in the tank and divide that into the mileage. For example, if the pump says you put in 13 gallons and your odometer says you've gone 300 miles since your last fillup then your MPG would be 300/13 = 23.08. In theory you can do this whenever you want, 3/4 tank, 1/2 tank, 5/23 tank; but you get the most accurate figures when you're close to "E."

HTH!

 

350 miles pure highway if I top it off and run till I chicken out and get gas.

 

Usally around 320. Last tank i got 360.

 

280- 300 i have 04 Gt 5speed.
