3.5 engine mpg

[pntofnoreturn]

How many miles do you guys normally get on a full tank? I usually get about 370 and I'm not too sure if that's low. Usually I fill up with close to 17 gallons and only use premium, if that helps.

[marlin29311]

Depends on how you drive it, as well as the type of fuel you put it. I put in premium, and I generally get a range of about 450 during the summer (420 if I have the A/C on...)

That's the problem, I consider myself to have good driving habits. I have a custom exhaust that came with my car. I wonder if that will lower mpg, but don't they generally increase it?

this will make my habits sounds HORRIBLE, but last time i checked, i was running super, and getting around 16mpg. one point i was getting 15.5, and 16.4, so somewhere in between. But as some people know..i like to have fun in my 3.5

PS. my bad, im driving a coupe >.> lol

^^ Same thing

My range thing always says somewhere around 300 and for avg it usually says 16

[trayharrell951]

yup same thing i get about 350-370 depending on the way i drive. then again i do live in california and everyone likes to speed here.

i get about 330 to 350 a tank and get 22-24 mpg combined driving i could get alot more milage out of it i always fill at a quarter of a tank and it fills up 14-15 gallons

I should have mentioned I drive a sedan lol but is it just me or when you cruise control it just seems that you are getting a lot more mpg that you should be getting?

[juanangel78711]

I also put premium in mine. If i do a full tank yes only around 370 miles/tank but if i do 1/2 tanks (10 gallons) then in total i get around 450 miles/tank. In other words gas mileage sucks on this car.

I have never broken 400

[jungleboogie]

mixed use. use 91 and rarely go below quarter tank.

it's usually 14-15 gallons to fill up.... approximately 330-350 miles between fill ups. going along those lines the trip computer measures approx. 23.2 miles/gallon.

oh btw, that's without being too conservative about using my ac.

With my 3.5 driving about 70% city, I usually get around 360-370 per fill-up. At an average fill of 18 gallons at the pump, that equates to 20mpg which is pretty dead on accurate according to the trip computer.
