Gas Mileage

[Keola P]

Don't care much about gas mileage (although I probably should) but I decided to fill up and find out how much miles I can get out of my tank.



The mods I'm running so far include a k&n intake, modified throttle body, thrush high flow muffler, and currently I'm running a tweaked premium performance tune from torrie via xcal 3. My rims are much heavier than stock they're wrapped with 275/45R20 sumitomo rubber.



I was up to 210 miles at a half tank. Is this good? What are you guys running?

Yeah BUT don't get excited about the 1/2 tank mark. From there, it goes down real quick!!!



I usually get ~420mi from a full tank with a 20-21 gal fillup.

Yea, the second half always goes down a lot quicker... I also get about ~200-~225 miles at about the half...but can only get out about ~385... And that is stock, well performance wise. So i get about 17-18

To this day, I am still confused as to why I only get 200-250 out of a full tank of gas? If you guys are getting 420 out of a tank, my ST must be very sick?

420? I average between 250-300. Do gen 2 ST's have bigger tanks?

 

[Carey Frennier]

Hmm...I get about 210-285 out of a tank depending on how I drive and how often I have to start my vehicle to let it warm up.



On trips I get 388-400 a tank. Not bad for a v8 w/ awd.



Right now I've been driving it about a mile or two miles a day avg. I let it warm up for 10min before I drive it anywhere. I probably start it about 3 times a day avg. It's getting about 8-10mpg avg right now.

With a 65 mile each way (130 total) commute each day, I get anywhere from 385-415 miles per tank. It's been very consistent over the 172,000 miles I've owned the Trac. I usually fill up with about 20 gallons, although I have gone as high as 22.4 gallons!

I have the '08 STA with a V8, K&N intake and a Torrie performance tune for the 87. I am in Langhorne PA which is very hilly around town so if I only do loacal trips I get about 13 mpg. If I travel to say Florida I can average 19-20. I want to upgrade the exhaust but I like how quiet the Gen 2 tracs are. I must be getting old . . . LOL

Judging from the responses, I guess my mileage ain't bad at all. I live in the city which is where I do most of my driving...occasionally I'll jump on the freeway for work if I get a change of station.



I only have a little over 27,000 miles on the odometer, half the time I'll drive like a granny and half the time like a wild teen.

I have found that if I accelerate gently and keep my speed down to between 60 - 65 mph, I get around 400 mile per tank.

I''ve got the 4.6 4x4 (only run in 4x2) and I'm averaging 13.5 to 14.5 on my tanks - and I run it dry each time. I'm 12 miles to work with 21 red lights in that 12 miles - and I catch each one. The city kills it, but highway I have averaged 22.3 on the few trips I've taken in it. There are a combination of things that kill mine around town (the weight of the Gen2's, 4x4, gears). I would love to change the 3.55's for 3.73's sometime this spring or summer, but don't know exactly when it will come.

315 miles every fill up 24 miles to work 3 stop signs 300 if im running in 4 wheel drive. all stock! any mods to improve this i will consider.

If I remember other posts right, if you don't adjust

your speedo to the tire size it will give you an

untrue reading for mph and miles driven.

Funny, the second half of my tank goes slower than the top half.
