blink.gif OK I have a good question here. What is the best gas mileage you have gotten out of your DSM. I want to know by the tank.

I myself got my best gas mileage the day of SCDC. I even made two runs on this tank of gas. I was really surprised to see 358 miles out of my tank of gas.

What was your best? biggthumpup.gif

It depends how empty you go before you gas up....

I get 25-25 mpg. About 260 on a tank I guess

Well when I filled up it took me 13.3 gallons to top off. That is like 27 miles to the gallon right?

^^^Yep.

I found the more I modify the car and the faster it gets, the gas milage improves. When I first got the car, it was lucky to get 18! Something to be said for proper tuning and good general maintence.

I'll get 300 miles out of my dodge... granted it takes $60 to fill it up then. I saw over 300 miles on my first tank on the talon... I'll see what it is on this one for sure.

Where do I start......

These are just for comparision gents. Please ignore if you're looking for DSM only info!

I keep religious gas milage records. (MSME, what can I do..)

02' WRX, many minor mods, racing etc = 21.x lifetime
99 Malibu bone stock = 24.x lifetime (34mpg max per tank on the highway)
85 dodge pickup, 446ci = 10.x mpg. towing, racing, cruising, doesn't f'ing matter!
Mutt = mid teens overall. low of 4-5mpg at the strip, max=almost 19 on the highway.

You 4-cylinder guys suck smile.gif

I've gotten 31 on the highway in the Talon a couple times, usually more around 26-27 though.

The last time I went to Gingerman it was 15 gallons to 100 miles.
