920 miles on 2 tanks (225Q)!!!

Went to Watkins Glen Friday night, coming back Saturday night, filled up before I left, filled up when I got there, and when I got home.

15.5 and 15.4 gallons on the 2nd and 3rd fillings.

Pretty awesome 29.7 mpg - I was averaging about 70.

That sounds about right

I found that if I pushed it to 72-75 my mileage would drop (roadster). 65-70mph did really well on gas.

No more TT for me though... the other weekend I went to Ohio. I filled up before leaving. I drove at 75-85mph for the first half of the drive (through mountains). The closer I got to Akron, OH, the slower I started to go. I managed to eek out 500 miles on the tank! Around town I put 300-350 miles on a tank. I was a little surprised... 19+ gallons at fill-up. :-)

Some day I'll actually have the patience to drive 65mph the WHOLE way and see how many miles I can put on a tank.

Are you no longer using your UUC exhaust?

I'm thinking about getting one, but concerned about the potential increase in noise.

Expect an increase in noise. :-) But it is a great sound!

I sold mine to Marcus a few months ago. The car went on Friday. The ECU is the only thing left.

What the heck ....

I filled up the car last night with Sunoco 94, and the computer said 330miles to fill up (13.04 gal).. Ive been watching my gas gauge with the trip od, and have been getting about 280miles (with a 1.4 tank left).. About 85% of my driving is done on the highway.. What do you run the tank down to??
