[B]Depends.....you have to be driving highway/freeway all the time to get anyhing close to 30mpg.

 

From the first fill up (91 octane in Colorado), I have been able to get 30+ even with some VTECH. It was doing mostly highway driving, but it is at altitude. Still, with highway and city driving and using the VTECH to get on, to pass, and to go over a mountain pass at 7400 feet of altitude (usually at over 100 MPH), I still get 25+. On a regular basis, I still have two bars left when I get to 200 miles. The gauge goes to mid level when I am at 120/150 depending on the driving conditions.

 

The math doesn't add up on your mileage. It usually takes 11 gallons to fill my tank, which at 30 MPG would mean that I should have travelled 330 miles since the last fill up. If you are getting 200 miles, and you fill it up with 10 gallons, then that's 20 MPG.

 

As I said, I still have two bars left with 200 miles on a regular basis - this is when I am averaging 25 MPG. When my light comes on I can only get 10+ gallons. Every car's gauge is a little different. On my Dodge Caravan when the low level light comes on I still have over 7 gallons in the tank. A little excessive!

 

I got about 28.5 MPG with the top down, several vtecs, and speeds over 80 MPH on the way home from michigan. Im sure if i didnt vtec and had the top up, I could have easily broken 30.
