How Many Miles do you get?!
 
How many miles per tank do you get on your tC?!

I'm averaging 250 per tank.

Are you sure you're driving it right? :ponder:

14 gallon tank times 25-30 mpg= 350-420 miles if you run to the brink of empty and drive it well. That's lowballing the high end mileage even.

Huey 04-18-2005 04:08 AM

i just filled up today, so tomorrow i'll write down the mileage and see what it is the next time i fill up

hondaxhonda 04-18-2005 04:09 AM

I think I drive it really good. Thats something I just dont understand. I drive like 40miles a day. My miles are mixed between highway and city miles. I dont feel like I drive my car hard either. I set cruise contorl whenver possible. Whenever im on the freeway i set cruise control @ 80mph.

maybe its something I should get looked at

PunkInDrublic 04-18-2005 04:10 AM

I'm lucky if I get 200 a tank...

My lowest mpg was 13, highest was 21, with an avg being 17.

I also drive short trips (2 miles usually) city miles most of the time, and I drive very spiritedly.

hondaxhonda 04-18-2005 04:13 AM

yeh i average about 17 as well.

I am getting a lot better gas mileage in my tC than I ever did in my xB though. Which is sad I think lol

But Im thinking i got bad gas mileage in the xB cause i had to floor it to get any kind of acceleration out of it.

now that I have the tC, when i drive the xB i feel as though im going to get run over!

im getting about 390-400 miles switching at 3.5 rpm and not going over 70mph. but that's because i'm still breaking my engine in =)

MikeJ 04-18-2005 04:41 AM

I am getting 25-27mpg the last time I filled up I had 318 miles for the tank. I put in 11.875gal. So I got 26.778mpg.
I drive 70-80 on the way to work.

Harmonic_tC 04-18-2005 05:03 AM

^^^my #s are almost exactly the same. I guess i drive like a grandma! but ive been getting about 27MPG which is why i bought the car (gas mileage). I still have plenty of fun in it but im gettin 27 the last 3 tanks.

Mr_Meaty 04-18-2005 05:39 AM

I don't run it till empty, so I fill up about 11 gallons. But I always set the trip meter, and I got 24mpg when I filled up today. so a 1 gallon tank would get me 336 miles. Mostly highway, but I rev the crap outa my engine!

XxTamTxX 04-18-2005 05:44 AM

I average a bit under 300/per tank.

Lurker_Steve 04-18-2005 12:24 PM

I get about 27... usually I get about 10-12 gallons at a fillup.

And I do not drive like a grandmother :)

Fsu1dolfan 04-18-2005 12:30 PM

How many miles does everyone have..because i think that makes a big difference!!?? I have about 1300 miles and i still get about 22MPG ...i believe this should get better though right??

NJ_05tC 04-18-2005 12:43 PM

Here is my story...mostly highway driving with 21,000 miles so far

1) with 4 stock wheels - 26 -29 mpg
2) with 4 19" TRD wheels - 23 - 25 mpg
3) with two front stock wheels, two rear 19" TRD wheels - 25 - 29 mpg
4) will not try two front 19" TRD, two rear stcok wheels - too funny to look at :P
