Yes boys, this is MILES. US car, I reset the trip computer when I filled up and ran until the gas light came on.
From the responses I guess I shouldn't be complaining.. Heh

Definitely shouldn't be complaining. Also to everyone out there, this mileage is easily attainable. On a long road trip, on a full tank, I have gotten 25mpg in my brother's '97 SC400. It's all about maintaining your car properly and most importantly how you drive it. Also I have seen around this mileage in my boosted SC300 on a long highway trip. I made it from Knoxville to Memphis in one tank.

yeah those numbers are pretty standard...my 93 SC4 did just that, no special anything, just smart driving and you will find that the SC is quite economical.

Something isnt adding up here, perhaps my car is older and is burning through way too much gas.
I havent done a tune up since I bought the car perhaps that could be an issue as well.
(EDIT) I cant get 437 miles per tank in my 1.7 litre honda.
also 437 miles=703 kilometres---if this is true that is incredible mileage.

Its bogus, I was getting 320 mixed until I cleaned my MAF, then it shot down to 270. Just put in a new air filter and cleaned the TB and Im at 130 at a half tank of all city driving. Never gets above 3k rpm. All tires at 37psi.
Grrrr.

Also, your gauge could be bad. How many gallons are you putting in when you top off wit half of a tank?
