chadz34 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 highway i almost get 400 miles I get almost 400 around town :shock: thats with my winter tires on and stepping in the gas quite often. Does your town have stop lights or stop signs? Sorry.... I just can't believe that at all... Yeah, that's a bit unbelieveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I get 350mi (almost 400) around town to a tank of gas. Most of the roads I drive on here are 40mph so I usually go about 45 or 50. So I duno if those speeds are closer to highway if you wanna call it that. But most of the time Im either driving 35 to 50mph. But also gotta remember. I dont romp on my car like alot of guys do. I keep the tach around 2 grand. Believe it or not, but I wouldnt post any bullshit like what I think you guys are thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 you must run your tank pretty dry...mine starts resting on 1/4 and takes a little over 12 gallons after about 270-340 miles depending on how much time i spent on the highway. but, then again, i also pound the piss out of it in town and go 75-80 all the time on the freeway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway = 50mph+ City= ~30mph If I drove around at 50mph+ most of the time I'd get about that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I usually run until I only have like 1-2 gallons left. When I fill it up I end up putting like 15+ gallons of gas in it. C-BAD, I live off like the main drag and its a 40mph and everyone goes like 45-50 so most of the time Im around 40, but yeah I get to about 50 once and while and I guess you could consider that highway speed since some highways around here have speed limits of 55mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well even at 40mph at a consistant speed you are gonna get very good MPG (I know cause I look at my DIC all the time). I don't notice much difference from 40mph-70mph, according to my DIC. If I'm on the "highway" and pushing 75+mph that's when I notice I start to lose MPG according to the DIC. It's stop-and-go that REALLY kills gas mileage. And FWIW I notice my DIC is faily accurate... I put in 51L in the tank today and my DIC said I had used 49L of fuel so that's not too far off...

19Cutlass94 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 yeah I usually avoid most traffic lights if I can and just do those "rolling stops" But I hardly ever have to stop cuz of a traffic light... so I dont do much stop and go, but I also keep it below highway speeds too..... I wish I had something like that that would tell you, I just get a gauge that drops like the a-bomb after half tank. I just wait till the check gauge light comes on then I know Ill have to fill it up within a couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I always fill up as soon as it gets below 1/4, but not reaching the "check fuel" guage. Bad for the fuel pump. At say, 7/8ths of a tank I put in about 50L, whereas the tank is suppose to be 60L capacity. At that point my DIC is usually telling me I got a range of about 60km/40miles left (city driving). So if I were to push it to the limit and use 55L (14.5G) of gas, at 35mpg I should be able to get around 500miles out of a tank.. highway.

92LuminaRS Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I usually run until I only have like 1-2 gallons left. When I fill it up I end up putting like 15+ gallons of gas in it. When I gas up I usually end up putting 17 gallons in my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I just use the "E" as an estimate. I remember one time I put 16.5 gallons of gas in and its only a 16.5 gallon tank. Ive cam close to running it dry amany times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well according to edmunds.com 1995 GP coupe has 17.1 gal capacity.. but yeah all the tanks should be the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 All I know about that is it says 16.5 gal in my owners manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
