i get around 200 at my half point mark.... so it's about 100 miles for a 1/4 tank... but as i reach my last 1/4 of tank.. it's more like 280 so the mark goes down a little faster as there's less fuel being shown... sure...

and i have a manual.

Default half tank mileage

I also show about 200 miles at half a tank and 280-300 at 1/4 tank. I have an auto trans. Only mods are K&N drop in air filter and Bosch Platinum +4 plugs. Neither really seemed to make any difference in mileage. And I have kept close mileage records from the day I picked up my box with 3 miles on it. I now have over 21000 miles in 10 months of driving. 70 miles a day to work and back plus 1000 mile round trip to south georgia and back. This winter blend of fuel makes my mileage vary from 31.5 to 35 mpg. I fill up at same station and use same pump.

200-210 on the halfway mark.
Top half is more than the last half.
I get about 320 per tank, on average.

It wont be linear. The gauges are not totally linear due to the shape of the tank, plus, half tank mark is from the bottom of the tank to the mark, not from R to 1/2. So you will see less mileage on the bottom half of the tank. And that wont be perfectly linear since you are burning off gas at approx 6.5 lbs per gallon.

At the actual 1/2 mark I have between 180 - 200 miles on that tank. On the highway I have gotten up to 385 miles on a tank and in the city as low as 280 miles.

Thats about right with all those addons...it also depends on how often you push it. If its all the time then it may be less.

The reason your milage is so low is not simply because of your add ons, I have a lot of your add ons and can get good milage. Your problem is that you cant keep your foot out of it! I am guilty of the same thing, that is why my milage ranges from 18 - 31 mpg. Make a point to not get on it at all on a full tank and then measure your milage, you WILL notice a BIG difference!

Quit using Diesel!
Maybe it's the "new math" you're using?

Dunno.

I have been keeping accurate data on mine every fuel up lately.

Between Oct and early Dec last year I averaged 27.6 mpg.

Between late Dec and the end of Jan I averaged 25 mpg

I live in the twin cities, so the weather plays a part (cold air, more fuel.. etc ) And I drive on loop a lot as well as in town, so a good mix of both. There were two long road trips (600 miles one way) in November and December so that added some road mileage. Both trips there and back included me, my fiance and our 9 year old plus a car PACKED full of other stuff. I saw about 28mpg average on the trips.

So, mid 20's overall, which is about what I would expect with the estimated mileage.

mine can range from 175-all city,240 all highway, no really, with a mix, it's about 210, on one road trip I got near 440 on a tank, and if you go 65 on a long trip it get's really good, I got 150 on a 1/4, I have had a lot of time on my 3 trips back and forth to Denver from louisville, 1120 miles one way and when you do it alown you have to find something to keep your mind busy,
