Drive hard, quick line starts...city, short freeway commute and I get 300miles per tank...fill up at 11gal. Figure I am getting at least 27mpg.
If I drive slow, baby it, coast...I might get 29, but it's not much difference to change it.
 
i treat my baby the best, 91 octane at 76....(its around 5.15/gal) to come to think of it, i only get around 20mpg. I haven't really calculated the true value, being that i gas up everytime i have 4 bars left. when i drove from here to Sactown and back, i found out using cruise control gets you almost 400 per tank...but that was mostly on arco gas.
Is it programmed for 91...if not why not use 87?
