That's right about how to calculate -- with the caveat that every fill-up is a little different (i.e. how much you do or don't top it off), so you would need to average a few go-arounds to get a really accurate figure. But you get a fairly accurate figure from just one fill-up.pocketkiller said:To get correct gas mileage, divide # of miles driven by the # of gallons you actually put in the tank (14).
I usually drive about 90 miles after the light goes on, and subsequently fill up 15.5 gallons.
I don't recall anybody getting anything higher than the 15's.FearthisTSX said:....I'd like to get an idea of max. miles you guys have put on one full tank.
My highest mileage per tank is 443.FearthisTSX said:I usually fill up 15.5 gal. too, but the pump will stop automatically at 14gal then I pump it very slowly to 15.5 - 15.9. On a really full tank toped off to the max. I get about 50 miles before the needle leaving the full mark. After that, the needle drops pretty fast. I guess redline 1st and 2nd gear really hurts mpg...![]()

Well you've had several fill-ups of about 15.5 gallons, 15.9 is not too far off.larchmont said:I don't recall anybody getting anything higher than the 15's.
I think your 15.9 might be the highest in recorded history. :nod:
:nod: +1000 :nod:FearthisTSX said:....I hate going to the gas station, so I try to fill up as much as possible once i'm there.
I average about 300. Could there be something wrong with my car?pocketkiller said:My highest mileage per tank is 443. My average is 400.
