How many miles do you get to a tank of gas in your FD? I just want to know to compare what I get. Not that we bought our cars for any good fuel economy though!!

I get 200 miles of city driving and usually fill up about 12 gallons. On the highway (about 80mph) I do close to 300 miles and fill up about 13 gallons.

I have a ported engine. I get 1 mile per gallon

Not really...I never fill it up. I only put $15 everytime. I can get about 13 to 14 mpg cause I only drive hard when I do drive this thing!

My personal record is 200 km for 50 L. That maths out to 9.5 mpg for you backward folks. This was on a "spirited" cruise through twisty, hilly roads with other 7 enthusiasts and a bunch of Miata guys. We done a lotta pullutin' that day!



Normally I got twice that.

I get about 200 miles per tank to my tank, when I fill up I fill it with like 15 to 16 gallons. I have gotten about 300 mpt on the highway but the 200mile to the tank is my average.

I get about 9 miles to the gallon. I would get more if I didn't have such a lead foot.
