From Val-d'Or to Hull, did 450 kms. and still was able to cruise in Ottawa before my gas gauge light. That was about 500-550 kms on one tank.<P>But, winter seems to be harsh on gas... Trying to heat up the engine, and the interior... right now, I'm at 200km for half a tank...<P>2 cents.

I get about 30 Miles to the Gallon, on average City Driving i get around 280-300 miles then the Fuel Light goes on. If I do straigh highway Driving, if I remember correctly I got around 350 and my tank was pretty dry.

If I drive like an madman it's about 170 miles a tank, city driving about 260-270 300 or better on trip <P> I've never seen the gas light because I don't really let it get below a 1/4 tank <P>what is the fuel capacity for the MX-3 anyway? (I have a 95 RS auto DOHC)
