Hi, I'm just curious at what kind of MPG (miles per gallon) or how many miles you are getting per full tank?

please list mods and type of driving

I'm currently getting around 210-230 miles per full tank, i fill my tank with exactly 11 gallons of 92 octane. thats what 20 bucks buy in hawaii.

right now i have just an intake, 2.5 dp and 3in full piping catback

car is just used for transportation, once in a while i would just sample it a few times.
 
95 Talon TSi AWD 16g turbo creeping to 15psi: About 25mpg

98 Eclipse Spyder GS bone stock even down to the air filter box: Seriously about 19-20mpg highway. She's getting a T25 this summer.
 
Im running my first full tank of E85. Ill see what that gets me. On 93 200 miles ish. I seem to never to not be in boost...:) On the highway cruising it seems to suck it through a straw. City well up that straw to the biggest you can find
 
I drive my car hard and my speedo doesn't work so I don't know. But $20 lasted me a couple days of hard driving maybe 100 miles. All stock
 
Headed to MOD 2011 on E85 going 80-85mph I was getting 26mpg. That's with numerous 38psi pulls with a 70mm turbo. Who says E85 gives bad mileage? Not if you have a tune for driveability LOL.
 
Just me or when you hit that 1/4 tank mark gas seems to last longer. I get about 150out of top 3/4s and another 125-175 on that last quart,put gas when the light turns on and stays on. Used to have an avenger with this same problem I don't know if its just me

Not just you... my GSX does something like that. I get a good 100-150 out of the first 1/4 tank then it just sucks gas until I hit that 1/4 tank mark. It takes forever for my light to even come on.
Not complaining though cause I average between 22-26 mpg, which is a lot better than my last gsx

That's probably your sending unit being messed up. My 92 will have 1/8 a tank then go down and the light come on then go back up and repeat. Also does what you're saying what yours does. Wish my speedo worked so I could just track my miles. Some of my past cars never had working gas gauges (mustangs LOL) an I would always just track the miles to know when I should be about empty. It's a new thing going by the gauge LOL
 
I have a 98 gst 5-speed. Anywhere between 21-28 mpg on average. I've been as low as 200 miles on a fill up. But as high as 320 also. Depends on my mood I guess.
 
99 GSX- E-boost 2 set to 15psi, lc-1 w/xd16 gauge, stock t25 turbo, 880cc injectors, evo9 fuel pump, 1g bov, hard upper intercooler pipe, usually driven with windows down and sunroof open at 55+mph, and has a bad 2nd gear synchro & pops out of 4th sometimes so I skip those gears so I have to get on it in 1st and 3rd so it doesn't bog when shifting up... Considering all those factors, and the miles on the car, and I'm leadfooted, and its all wheel drive, I think I'm off to a good start tuning for gas mileage. I'm using ecuflash w/ceddymods for tuning.
