just wondering how many km everyone is getting when they fill up, im getting about 250, but always thought a 4 cyl car would get higher, what do you get?

without "steping" on it around 400 but usually around 330-350, less in the winter time of course.

220 MILES on a full tank - city driving, 300 MILES highway<P>94 RS w/ 56K miles

oh you boys and girls are gonna love this....i get about 110-125 miles per tank. thanks to my running rich but i should be back to somewhat normal with way mor power with the haltech. ill post my results after the haltech to show the change. hopefully there is one.

yeah, it'll get better. mine is now up to about 230ish city/highway per tank. i just filled it up last night and i've been doing some more tuning so i'll let ya know.

I'm hitting 325-350 km at 3/4 of a tank on hwy and city driving, so I should be able to get 400 km on a full tank.

Yup, I'm getting approximately plus/minus 400 km to a tank of gas...

ok, why the hell am i only getting 250 on city?

Lead foot or you need a tuneup bad.<P>I averagea about 26 mpg with a l;ead foot.. then again i have a good sum of weight reduction too

I get 30 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the road. So, using the 10 gallons of gas between the Full and Empty lines on the gas guage gets me between 300 and 350 miles. If I drive when the "low fuel light" comes on I could get more but why push it? By the way, I use 92 octane fuel.

I'm getting 450 kms/tank. Does octane level have anything to do with it? I try to use only 94. And I'm due for an oil change any day now. I also lose about a litre of oil every 2 weeks. <P>one

doing 450KM in winter 500KM and more in summer 3/4 long drives (30 km and more)<P>Ethanol always in tank. Start smooth and push afterward. driving around 120KM/h average. Good tune-up, spark plugs Iridium and NGK wires, Mobil 1 oil.

I always get over 400km have got up to 525km a few times on long trips. I got 325 when I first got the car. You can drive for almost 100km when the light comes on.

The octane of the gas doesn't make a difference in your milage, unless you're knocking. I belive the RS is setup for 83 octane, but I'd go with 87 or so. If you boost, or have a higher compresion then you'll need higher octane gas.<P>Using oil is bad, but it depends on how it's being used. Blow-by is the real milage killer. Old oil also hurts.<P>Since everyones gas guages are a little off & refills are at differnt points, a distance/volume formula would be a better comparison. I get a little more than 35 mpg=15 km/L. (km/L=.425*mpg)

i drive the crap out of my car and get like 225 miles to the tank and 22mpg on average. even with an extra 100lbs (or more) of stuff in the car.
