Default What Gas Mileage are you getting????

Just as title states, I would like to know what type of gas mileage members are getting here. Coming from my old Infiniti V8, I immediately got a "pay raise" due to me not spending so much money on gas during my daily commute to work. I've attached a pic to show you all how I'm doing at half tank.

Are these numbers typical?

lol yep. I have a 40 mile commute each way...man I love this car!! I'm going to drive it to the light comes on and do the division to see how many mpg I'm getting.

Speaking of light, does anyone know apprx how many miles until empty when the gas light comes on? I'm not going to push it, just really wanted to know if someone has 1st hand experience lol.

On a full tank, my 02 GS3 average me abt 20-23mpg (city&hwy) which total to 325-340 miles/tank.
I shld get better milleage than that due to the fact im not an aggressive driver & recently changed my gas filter too. Got to check out my spark plugs...

'98 GS4 with 206k miles....I get 26-27 mpg on long highway trips, and thats at 75-80mph. Driving a mix of highway/city during my normal routine I get 22-23 mpg. Not bad for V8 IMO.

If I'm doing all city, I probably get 265 miles per tank. I find that pretty darn low. I drive slow too...

My car usually takes about 15 gallons when the light comes on....20 gallon tank if I'm correct, so even at 20 mpg still have 100 miles or so.

Same boat right at 290 city and I dont get over 2500rpm. UGH. I used to get great gas mileage then I started doing maintenance and it all went to hell.

The only thing is, I fill up before the light turns on. I'll see how many miles I can get. I'll be needing to fill up soon.
