267 mpt isn't bad.

 

R&T's quoted figured are EPA estimates. Theoretical 30mpg*13.2 = 396.

And jmorale1, I usually get about 250-270 per tank with 80% city driving when reserve light comes on.

 

I made it to 325 before I filled up, and still had 3 bars like you see in this picture.


10.092gal 325.4miles = 32.2 mpg

So yes, theoretically, if I continued to drive every last drop out of the tank, I would have hit 425.4 miles on that tank. A more conservative estimate at 12 and 12.5 gallons would be 386.4 miles and 402.5 miles, respectively.

My favorite part about this tank is it was 70-85mph, no stopping/slowing down for traffic, and the A/C cranked =) Using the A/C on my car causes very little MPG reduction. I have an 800 mile drive on July 3rd, should be interesting to see what I get with the supercharger on there now =)

 

I only get 200-220 per tank and thats filling a little over 11 gallons. Thats about mostly 70% city and 30% highway. I should try shifting at 3k rpm and ease up on the gas to see if I can get over 230miles. The best I think I ever got was 227 and that was driving with no gas bars for a few miles..

 

On a side note, seems like the S2000 had the best braking distance and 2nd best in slalom! Well, but the cobalt still beat the S around the slalom

Didn't realize the Nismo 350Z's braking was a bit messy though ...

 

My record stands at 347 GPS verified miles on 10.6 gallons of gas. Assuming the tank is EXACTLY 13 gallons, I could have hit 400 if I ran it near bone dry. I get 27mpg on my untuned, running really rich turbo s2000 now, and when I get tuned, I will be back in the 30s again.

 

most i have ever gotten was just over 300 on a road trip. I average about 215-230 miles on a tank. Damn all these stupis hills where i live. The only place without hills here is downtown. It sucks.

I ran my 05 dry a couple weeks ago by mistake (as if there would be another reason) and had about 385 miles on the tank. Actually, the car was running fine in the morning when I arrived at work, but then I couldn't get it started again later in the day, which is when I dope-slapped myself in the head and realized I was out of gas. I bet if I kept on driving in the morning with the fuel pump pulling, I could have gone a teeny bit farther.

I can't find the gas receipt, but I seem to recall that it took about 12.5 gals to refill it (1 gal from a gas can, the rest when I filled up). That would be just about 31 mpg, which is inline with my experiences (typically see 28-32).

So I suspect 400 miles is possible if you get the same kind of gas mileage I do, but you'd want to keep running until the end, and have a spare gas can in the trunk! Certainly, 400 miles is not a dependable "real-world" figure. You can only get that when running on the ragged edge.

 

omg!

did no one else see those words?

 

Nice to see someone finally figuring out how to properly launch an s2k. Most mags put down a 14.0-14.2
