i'm getting around 320-360 miles on a tank. i only put in 91 or 93 octane gas. gas prices are about $3.15/gallon here and i try to never let it dip below the 1/4 tank mark so each fill up is between $35-$38. i always split the mileage between city and highway and average about 22.5 mpg. a big tip to get better mileage is properly inflated tires. i have mine inflated to 36psi.

as for the speedo difference my gps always says i'm going 2mph slower than what the speedo says when i'm at highway speeds.

Yes, it comes on with about 25 miles remaining on the indicator. I figure if I had to I could go 450 if it was all highway where I generally get around 25mpg+.

Also, pacing newer Civics with those huge digital speedometers seems to confirm this also. I'm on stock wheels too. Anyone else notice this?
i noticed it on those new radars on the local streets that let you know how fast your going. wasnt there a huge deal with honda and there speedo not being accurate? i think they ended up extending everyones warranties or some crap cause thats what the odometer goes off of.

My built-in custom installed radar system displays the GPS-based speed in the corner of the Rear View Mirror while I am driving. Typically the speedo overstates the speed by 3-5mph. 3mph at lower speeds, 5mph at 95mph.

Yes it detects speed cameras. It has a national database of speed cameras, red light cameras, and fixed speed traps, so you get a warning and a countdown. The database is updated every week.

LMAO...I was thinking the same. I just got back from a rode trip and thought about that comment. You would be driving worst than an old person if you keep it under 2000 rpms....haha

I put a Chevron fuel cleaner additive on my rode trip and it jump from 295 to 365 range. Big improvement for two bottles. One on way there and one on way home.

About 340 miles with an 1/8 to 1/4 quarter tank left.
2010 GS350, driven at about 70-80 mph 70% of the time.
Rest of the time is 30-50mph suburbs driving.
Tank is $35-$40 but creeping up
