to get an accurate indication of mileage you need to run a couple tanks through it and average

my p.o.s. only gets like 15 in the city and it's an auto so yeah not that great

wow that is horrible, my supercharged 3.8 in the gp gets 21 city (I rarely drive interstate)

ITSA6

yep i know and that is driving normal too i feel like a truck

My 3.8 usually sees around 290 to 300 miles in the city and 380 on the highway. Though I try not to go 380 on the highway because thats pushing it if there isn't a filling station nearby. Out on these Arizona/California highways, there are some long stretches through the desert. (Which is also why I take them )

But yeah the fuel indicator drops like a rock after the half way mark. I usually hit 260 miles at the halfway mark on the highway then only a hundred miles after.

I measure mine by this, generally: (auto 3.8)

It will fill over the full mark.. Usually from above full to full I get 50 miles average, on a good trip - 70

From F to 3/4 I get about 100.

From 3/4 - 1/2 I get about 100.

From 1/2 - 1/4, 50

From 1/4 - E, generally 50 at the most. Ive gotten more, You can probably get close to 100 but I dont like to push my luck often.

All this comes with good driving, and I do most highway, so I get a little bit higher. I get around 20 in the city, 25ish on highway. I just changed my PCV, so I think its getting a mile or two better now. Havent gone enough miles to really tell, but from the markers I use it is.

first of all, if you want good fuel mileage, dont shift at 4500k, but yea, i know what you mean about the drops, every time i make a right turn my guage drops 1/4 tank, then when i make a left turn, it goes back up. ive gotten used to it though.
