V8'ers: gas talk

[mole177]

How many miles do you get according to the info center?

i get 310-320 on a full tank.


What do you get after a fill up?

 

[jwyshrek]

Depends...

If I stop on the first click (at the pump), then it reads 311.

If I stop on the second click, then it reads 321.

I've only done it once so far.... read 315.

I drove it down until it read 40 and then filled up to the first click and it took about 18.5 gallons.

Mine says 371 after a fill up....

 

[trd2001]

mine is 270 every time. Of course i sure the tires dont help. I can get 310 according to the Trip Odo, but that pushing it.

 

[RL4673]

between 320 and 340

 

[Good Times]

sadly.... 240

 

[Techenigma]

sadly.... 240

yes lance... but take comfort in knowing ya gots the sweet ride.

I always filler-up. Makes no sense to get gas twice a week. The range always reads 343, unless I hit the rest button. Then it will deviate a few miles. I once ran it down to 2 miles left on the display. I was sweating it, but she only took 20 gallons so take means that I still have a 3-gal reserve when the countdown range miles reads zero.

The first month I got about 350. After that until now, I've been getting 367...

 

[wilsoncwil]

I get about 280 if I'm lucky. Frickin' Orange County traffic!!! After I fill up it says 300.

The info center's so unreliable I don't even look at it anymore. I have a lifetime average of 16.5 MPG after 32,000 miles based on actual mileage and gas receipts. Best milage is just over 20 and worst is about 14.

Mine reads anywhere from 242 (when towing) to 378 (when not towing) and everywhere in between.

 

[HuntRunner]

I took it easy on the gas pedal for a while and did not do any towing and I got a read out of 400. It seems like every week I would gain an extra five miles.
Since the new tires and lift, I don't pay much attention anymore....

Mine says 340 after fill up.


I get about 260 or so from a full tank. Tallahassee traffic is annoying (25 minutes to get to my office that is 3 miles from my house ... that helps to waste a lot of gas in the morning and afternoon).

 

[Bluto]

360-390

Light came on yesterday, 20.4 gallons, $49.14.

 

[Spider5]

365-375; 405 on the last trip back from SF

 

[OUTRNNR]

I don't look that often but I think its in the 320-340 range, which is pretty accurate, at least for me.

 

[hubbabubba]

Mine usually says 367 after I fill 'er up. I drove it once until it said 40 miles left. Filled it up with 21 gallons til the 1st click.

 

[UoD]

Interesting ... I drive my down to 20 miles left on a regular basis and am rarely able to get 20 gallons in it.
