I got about 96 miles on a almost 3/4 of a tank last weekend. amidoinitrite?

 

I've never really pushed my luck to see how far down the needle actually goes, but I've been over 350 per tank a few times. Don't remember the max - 375? I usually fill up when I get to 1/4 tank or so anyway.
I drive 45 miles each way to work, most highway, but 'city' on either end. Speed can be a crawl to 75 - 80.
Filled up this morning, and it was easy to remember - took 11.3 gallons and went 311 miles = 27.5 mpg. That's with 18s and an Injen intake.

 

Thank god, I thought I was the only one or had like a fuel leak or something. Doesn't help that it's mostly city. And I'm not adjusted to my intake yet, so I drive a bit lead-footed.

 

If you're only getting 225 city driving, you suck at driving. I'm usually at 250-275 at the 1/4 tank mark in the city...and that's on a boost happy tank.

Just filled up, 11.8 gallons = 394.2 miles. Could have gotten more if I didn't hit boost so many times and if I wasn't on 18's.

 

That's 33.4 mpg - is this a tC or a Yaris we're talkin' about?????

 

WTF? Im getting about 230-250 with city driving...how the hell are people doing 300+?

Plus I stay in Vacuum all day!

 

checho im with you 230-250 city, then about 320-370 on the highway.

 

Boost + great tuning + All highway

 

And so I'm a bad driver driving an un-tuned tC with only a cold air intake in 99% city driving with the majority of that in stop-and-go traffic and getting between 220-250?

 

untuned y would u be tuned with a CAI to begin with? i live in NYC stop and go driving ALL the time. and highway with traffic for hrs and i still get 300 plus miles a tank

 

Just to make an extreme comparison, lol. But yeah, no point in tuning it yet. How do you manage 300 miles? And when do you fill up?

 

better question is where haha. Finding an NYC gas station is like finding a job now a days haha...to soon?

 

NYNC that made me crack up so hard lol!

i fill up every quarter of a tank and by that time im up to 310 ish miles. i drive moderately i never race etc i shift at 2500 rpms everytime ofcourse unless im getting on the hwy. i always keep my speed at about 60/75 mph, but ofcourse there are times i open it up a bit. at half a tank im at 260miles. im always in stop and go traffic goin around queens and brooklyn, then i work in East Meadow NY. the mornings are always stop and go and the afternoons are worse lol. idk i jus drive moderately i guess thats all i can say when i never rev high unless im ____ing around

 

also i keep my tires properly inflated and i have I/H/E

 

I keep the tires inflated and just have an intake. Might have something to do with being auto. If I drive it where it shifts below about 3000/3500 all the time, I'm creeping along like a grandma. And too many dumbasses with big SUVs in this town that'll run me over.

 

i guess this thread came back from the dead lol



now, who wants a prius?

 

Did a little test on the way home. Didn't even come close to hitting boost once, drove as conservative as possible. Hit 3 red lights, out of 7. About 60% highway, 40% city, used the most gas while getting onto the highway.





So if I were to stay completely out of boost and drive as conservative as possible, I think a 500 mile all highway tank would be very doable.

 

^ Jon's a showoff

 

Boost ____ing kicks ___. But seriously, my drive home was boring as hell haha. I was doing 60-65 on the highway...got to 70 at one point, but that's because I was going downhill, used that to get some momentum. Getting on the highway sucked too. I got on as slow as humanly possible, and before I got on, my MPG was at 38....by the time I got on it was down to 27.2 lol.

So @ 34.7mpg, and paying for premium @ 2.08/gallon, I'm at $.059 per mile. @ 28mpg (best I managed on the same trip N/A) with 87 @ 1.83/gal, it's $.065 per mile. Technically, if I keep driving this slow, this turbo will pay for itself after approx 50,000 miles.

 

most i got on one tank was 390 all highway driving. with my normal day to day driving i get about 330
