My best tank of gas

Hey,

Well, I have had a bad day, but I found something to be happy about, my car of course!!! Just thought I would take a pic to brag a little, and also maybe boost a little morale among those of us who have had constant problems with our cars. One really good thing about this tank was that I could have probably babied her more and gotten another 20 miles out of her if I wanted. Anyway, enjoy.

not to rain on your parade but ive done a lot better then that.....when i moved form Ohio to AZ 2 tanks of gas in a row i averaged 35mpg the other tanks were around 32-33mpg. Now driving city/hwy i get anywhere from 25-28mpg depending on how spirited I am driving.

So if you do the math 35x12gal = 420miles with some room to spare.

My best tank of gas was I think 267 and I never change my driving habits. I floor it to 4k every shift until I hit the speed limit. And I probaly do about 2 "high speed" races every tank, and I hit 120 everyday on my way to school and/or work.

Same here. 04, shift around 3k. Every now and then I'll hit it, but not too often. And korax, I have one thing to say to you:

"I hate you, I hate you. I don't even know you, but I hate your guts. I hope all the bad things in life happen to you and only you."

Ha ha. J/K.
