Default Miles per tank?

Hey guys I haven't posted in a while but I am getting down to deciding on an IS-F. As a daily driver car I just simply need to find out how many miles per tank ya'll are getting.? I hope it is at least 250 miles per tank??

What's your commute like? Mostly highway?

I get like 200 to 220 out of the tank...but I drive it hard sometimes. So if you go easy on it and if it is mostly highway then you might be able to push 250 miles. For me its mostly street and highway once in a while. If your considering the M3 and C63 as well, the IS-F delivers the best gas mileage out of all three plus no gas guzzler tax, which is a plus.

My gas light comes on at about 335 miles. I commute daily about 60 miles roundtrip. I average about 24 mpg. My driving is 80% freeway, 20% city.

Yes it is a 22 mile highway trip one way. Thankyou for the responses...whew..I guess I expected better that that..yikes. BUT, I guess that is the norm that I am seeing on the forums.
Thanks guys!

I get about the same as the posts above, fill up around 220-240 miles driven. Fill up when the needle hits 1/4 mark from empty. 50/50 hwy and city, and plenty of full throttle applications

mine's about 40% city/ 60% highway, and it's consistently 250 miles per refuel, averaging about 22-23 MPG. but there is a gas guzzler tax with the m3 and c63 which i think equates to about one full year of gas even before driving off the lot (~1300). can't go wrong with the F as a daily driver. luxurious and speedy- great mix! best of luck on your purchase.

i average 18-22 mpg. 250 outta the tank is certainly within reason.

lol . . . I usually only fill up 7 gallons (less weight ) and it lasts me over a week. I 'commute' 3 miles one way and my avg tank mpg is around 11mpg hehehe. That said when I do take a long highway ride and I'm light on the throttle I average over 28 mpg.

About 320 per tank...60 miles round trip on the highway. Only get to drive it hard when there's no traffic...which is rare in Cali.
