So several weeks back, Scinergy GA went on a mountain drive. We had a great time, got a little lost, but drove through some fantastic scenery. Anyway, the pace we kept was much more sedate than I am apt to do because of the caravan aspect of it. Average speed was between 65 and 70 mph, and my tach never read higher than 3000 RPM. Going into this drive, I'd already driven about 100 miles in my normal manner (not fast, but can be a bit spirited) anyway, long story short, that single tank of gas took me 375 miles. I had just put my SRI and Cold Air Box, no headers yet. When I refilled, I topped off with about 13 gallons, so that meant I still had about a gallon or so worth of gas. Anyway, I've seen this post on the xB forums so I was curious as to what the best numbers fellow tC drivers have gotten. If this is a repost or was covered in a prior thread, my apologies, I did try to search but nothing popped.

 

The best I have done ws on a rount trip from Boston to NYC, got 351 miles before the light came on and the car took about 12.9 gallons. So that was 27.2mpg...... not too bad i guess considering i dont exactly baby my AP.

 

I've had nearly or over 400 miles a couple of times. 30+ MPG a couple of times as well. There have been a few threads on this in the past... I just forget where.

 

I am almost at about 360 miles right now on this tank and the light just came on. I am ganna push it as far as I can to see how many I can get. Not bad mpg's for living in the mountains and climbing steep hills constantly.

 

the most I get is about 340-360 a tank

pretty good to me

 

push it man... just like one of those seinfeld episode lol. Dont be scared!

 

I would like to say thank you to the author for using the right grammar "farthest"

 

my last tank was at 385 when the light came on and it took a little under 13 gallons, overall I have averaged 27.5mpg over the first 5000 miles. My best milage was 31.5mpg so could have gotten over 450miles on that tank. And that is with the 5-speed.

 

I never get more than 320, but I drive it kinda hard....

 

Thanks It seemed like the best superlative to use. I guess I could also have used "furthest" which is nearly synonymous, but I think that that has a more abstract connotation to it.

 

Nice reference to Seinfeld Mr. Nuts. It is uncanny how many real life situations have relavence to that show. I just watched the one where Jerry shaves his chest and keeps goin lower to get it even and shaves it all, then turns into the wolfman at the end.... thats just great! lol

 

i always fill up b4 i reach the 1/4 mark, but my best mpg so far is 287 miles with 10.43 gallons of gas, avg of 27.13mpg. my overall average is 24-25 mpg and i have an auto. i guess i have one of the less fuel efficient tC then.

 

we already ahve a thread about his..someone redirect and lock....ugh

 

With 3 adults in the car and cruising at 75mph I got over 460miles on one tank. That was my best. Overall I get around 260. I do a lot of short distance, city driving + warm up the car every day.

 

i never run my car tank past the second to the last line. i always warm up my car and i frequently make trips to and from san francisco since i go to school there. i get about 270 miles on a tank but i will have a full bar left. how many gallons is each line on the tank meter anyways.

 

From Fayetteville,NC to Tampa,Florida, all that took me about 3 full tanks. Had a few stops here and there. Should've used cruise, but the flow of traffic gets tempting.

 

I don't know, 460 on a single tank is pushing it. Especially going over 70. Usually, Scions get their best gas mileage under or at 70mph. Unless you were going downhill for nearly all of the 460 miles, I am a bit skeptical.

 

First time I filled the car up after the initial fill from the dealer, I had driven 290 miles and filled it up with 11.76 gallons. So, for a city drive of 6 miles every day (3 miles to work, 3 miles back) and almost zero highway miles, i got about 24.5mpg on the first go around.


If i can keep it between 23-25 in the city, im extremely happy. On the highway, im sure i can get 25+.

 

I usually get about 340/tank, but last week I went to visit my parents and got a 400 mile tank (99% freeway driving)

 

wow the most i got for a tank is 310?
