Yikes! I thought mine was bad. I've only filled my tank up twice but I've gotten between 270 and 280 miles each time. That's about 80% interstate driving.

The couple of times that I've filled up already I had about 220 miles on the trip when the gas light came on. When I filled up, it let me fill up just under 11 gallons, which means there's still about 2 gallons left when the light comes on. So I'm averaging about 20-21 mpg on the brand new engine...driving sometimes conservatively and sometimes harder. This is on the brand new engine, so hopefully when it's broken in, I'll start seeing better numbers, and know when I can fill up a little longer after the gas light comes on. I'm afraid to fill up now after seeing prices raising 10-15 cents more...(about $2.40 for premium )

i got about 19.5 mpg last time i checked it, before that was 21, but the 19.5 was after 2 nights of hard racing and hard driving.


on this tank im getting alot better, 1/4 of a tank has gotten me about 100 miles of highway driving.

Ouch! I'm getting on average about 24-26 MPG my personal best was on a 300 mile road trip where I did 29 MPG. I try not to let the "low fuel" light come on when I can help it but when it does come on I atleast have 250 miles on the odometer. I shift out of 1st and 2nd kinda early, less than 4K RPMs. With Gas prices around here near 2.20/gal (yes I know its more expensive somewhere else) I may shift even earlier

I've had mine since November and I can't seem to get above 20 mpg. Granted, I drive a 2003 Ford Focus wagon as a company car and every time I get in my RL I'm tearing through gears. It's my stress relief.

Wow I wasn't really that happy until I read some of these. Been getting 24.5 to 26 mpg all the time. I was thinking maybe because I don't have the update yet is the reason I'm getting better. Doing this sometime this month,,been in the gargage for the winter.
