onitnas Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 How many miles does everyone get out of a tank? I get anywhere from 180-215. Quote
terryk2003 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 i get around 300 usually...and, i've checked the milage before and its only like 19mpg which i think is pretty sad for my lil 3100...i dunno though... Quote
sonyman87 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 ~250-300 with a 1/4 tank left to spare 3.4dohc 16.1gallon tank Quote
DiscoStudd Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 The ole 3100 in the GP's been averaging 260-275 in the winter, but when it was warmer it got 320-340. The Loomie is about the same. Regal gets 300-330 when it's warmer outside. This is a mix of city and highway driving, BTW... Quote
TeeJay3800 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 This time of year I get a little over 300. At last fill-up, I think the trip odo showed 315 miles. Quote
AWeb80 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I've pulled 410 miles out of my GP numerous times....(it was on fumes)..... That was all highway driving at about 75 mph.... I normally get 330-360 a tank with highway and city driving. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 The ole 3100 in the GP's been averaging 260-275 in the winter, but when it was warmer it got 320-340. The Loomie is about the same. Regal gets 300-330 when it's warmer outside. This is a mix of city and highway driving, BTW... I'd say my GP gets about that too. I'm kinda glad cause I saw a thread earlier about 300mile/tank in the winter and only way I could possibly do that is if I drove till the car ran out of gas! :shock: In the summer if I were doing straight highway I swear I could get near 600km/tank. It's just sad in the winter! Quote
CuttySup Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Damn. I only get about 220-240. Quote
dbtk2 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I don't keep track of it really and I don't run it down really low on gas, but I get about 200 miles to a tank on my STE. Shawn Quote
1990lumina Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 My Lumina gets only around 350KM out of a full tank...one time I ran it till I coasted in to the gas station on fumes and only got 380km. In summer it usually goes to 500km tops per tank. In winter I let my car warm up quite a bit, plus I think they change the gasoline a bit which causes it not to burn as aefficent (not sure though). All depends the type of driving I do, if I constantly push it off the line and kick her down on the freeway she drinks A LOT of gas, but if I push it to 3000rpm or lower in first gear off the line it is alot better and keep a steady speed on the freeway it is alot better. All above are me driving city. Highway I really can't say as the Lumina's never been on the highway since I've owned it, maybe this summer! - Jeff L. Quote
GrandPrix98GT Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I've managed about 350 on a full tank, once. Typically, I get about 280-290 miles. Quote
runt Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Same as the other 3100 owners, winter weather, I'll pull 310-325. Thats a mix of open highway/city (haha city) driving. Summer I can easily pull 330, but usually around 350-360 with city and highway. On the interstates with little stopping I've gotten 400 miles out of a tank. Quote
john99gtp Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 i just got 220 this past week :shock: friggin winter. its all those times i let it sit there and warm up Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I usually get around 300-325 miles per full tank... and at 19MPG on a 16 gallon tank, it does seem about right... Quote
99RegalGS Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I normally go 280-320 miles till I fill up. Quote
92gransport Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 My last 2 tanks of gas in my Regal GS (3800) I went 302 miles & filled up with 13.1 gallons, so I had a couple of gallons left. I figured that's 23 mpg running city/highway and some idling in my driveway to warm up & move to clear my driveway of snow, so I guess that's not too bad. With my calculation of 23 mpg - I should get about 368 miles to the tank & run out. Quote
KING JOKER Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 in my 92 cutlass 3.1 i ama lucky if i can get 225. bigger injectors are not always a good idea on a college students budget. Quote
phantomshado Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 in the summer I can get all of 500 out of a tank, all highway though. I haven't bothered to keep track what it is in winter, but I know its shite compared to a summer drive. Quote
Psych0matt Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I know when driving home from school I can easily make it the 360 mile drive on one tank, and then some, but I would say on average 300 or so sounds right in the ballpark Quote
91CutlassConv Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 My 91 convertible gets around 225 around town and 325 on the highway. The 90 International get about 190 around town and 325 on the highway. Both are 3.1's so I dunno why the difference in the two cars. I do know (iif this makes sence) that the convertible feels "looser" on acceleration, like there is less resistence or something. I dunoo. Jason Quote
