Ive never seen my gas light come on??? The lowerest ive been is compleatly past the white line, but I never saw a fuel light come on. How far down does the needle go???

 

i get ****ty gas milegae my car has 79k and I get maybe 300 to a tank

 

so wait, your saying its better to go untill it gets close to completly empty? isnt that kinda of bad if you almost empty out the whole tank? Ive never had a smelled a bad stench on a hot day. The farthest i have ever pushed it was to 430 miles before filling up, i just dont like pushing it to far.

 

im avg about 18-20mpg even with constant romping on it so im pretty happy with it. but i dont have accurate reading because my lextech needles is way off on my gas. full tank shows up 3/4 and from there its never constant so i never really knwo how much gas i have left. so imma let the light go on and go another 50 before i fill up. i read that the sc300 has a 20.5 tank. im like right under 20mpg right now.

 

Time for me to do some maintenence.....I'm lucky to get 320 miles per FULL tank. Stop & go traffic + lead foot = bad gas.

We'll see tomorrow, I have a1000+ mile roundtrip highway trip to take (coming back next Wednesday). I am hoping to pull as close to 400 miles per tank as I can.

 

when i had my 300 i got barely 200 per tank.

 

running out of gas sucks

 

Where's the update man? Did you make it???? lol Im curious...

 

Damn i wish my sc3 could get over 300 miles to the tank.I bought my car from atlanta and in the 505 mile trip back to new orleans,i had to fill up in ATL and once during the trip and then i almost ran out of gas by the time i got back.My card would not work at the gas station so i had to call up a friend and get money from him,Thats how low i was.I was on the highway the whole way time and i olny got 250 to the tank

 

yall get really good mileage, i usually get 300 (in a 5spd manual sc) and 330 in my 97 (also 5 spd) with usually 15.5 gallons at filup
EDIT: the guys on the first page get good gas mileage lol

 

Heres the story: I ended up making it at 342 miles. It was a scary ride there.

 

Short stories are my favorite stories...

 

for the last 450 miles i pumped 24.549 gallon and got 450 miles out of it. 18.33mpg, all city driving and constant 3k rpm most of the time. 5spd sc30 btw. so im actually very happy with my gas mileage . gas light came on about 3 gal left. 91 octane is 2.91 where im at. 50 bucks to fill up 17 gal today.

 

for this next whole week im gonna keep it under 3k rpm for the whole tank until the light comes up and we'll see if its any better. oh btw first night i had my car drove about 200+ miles and was avging about 22mpg that was pretty much 98% freeway driving.

 

I ran last night with the light on for i dunno 20-30 miles.... of course i knew i put in 3 gallons of 110 octane so i knew i had plenty
