Jacksonville FL your lookin at anywhere from 2.14 to 2.29 a gallon for regular unleaded . As for miles per gallon on my auto , In city I have been averaging around 25-26 miles per gallon . I havent hit the highway yet . That millage is with me getting my foot in the floor from time to time :lalala:
|
yup. love the california gas prices. we may have the cleanest burning fuel....but we sure as hell pay the highest price...
|
Trade your tC for an xB, you'll save a lot on gas. :eyebrow:
|

|

it was a typo. $2.55/gallon was the price. |
yeah, the most mileage I got out of the tc so far is on 89 and 385 miles to a full tank and past the R too.
|
On my current tank I got 290. Well that's because I wasn't driving carefully.
|
i get $2.34
|
$1.99 here today but it got up to about $2.30 at one point.
Keep your tires at the proper inflation. Makes a world of difference on gas mileage and makes the tires last longer too. |
It's down to $1.99 here as well...I'm getting about 25 or 26 MPG with minimal highway driving.
My last tank going across state to visit my parents I got 30 w/ the cruise on between 75 and 80 the whole way. |
yeah im kinda happy its going down, 2.49 here today
|
2.39 in SINYC
|
gas mileage
Interesting on the difference in mileage. I usually can squeeze 320-340, before my light yells at me.

Generaly speaking, if you have any mods done, you will loose some. The old rule of thumb, 1/2 lb of fuel per hp per hours is pretty close. gas weighs in about 6lbs per gallon on a standard day, soif your putting out more than 160hp, your wasting fuel.
As an expiriment, i put a high temp thermostat in my car, high pressure radiator cap and saw nearly a 10% in fuel economy. The hotter you can run an engine the less heat is wasted "warming" up the insides, thermal efficiency. A number of years ago car manufacturers deiscovered this and switched to a higher temp thermostat. U just have to be carefull in doing this, you can over heat, boil oil and coolant. The high temp thermo keeps the needle right next to redline, so i watch it very closely |

So I have gained 87WHP, yet my gas milage has decreased around 1 MPG on conservative driving. On the highway it has not changed at all. With your theory I should have cut my gas milage nearly in half. |
