Gas milage on stock ws6?

[Vertiviper]

How many miles to a full tank?

You don't measure mpg in reference to "how many miles to a full tank". When you fill up divide the number of miles you put on by the # of gallons.

duh, i don't drive maro long enough to know so i though i'd ask. How big is the tank in a maro anyways.

[Cutlass]

Its like 250ish to 275ish miles per tank. I think its a 16 gallon gas tank but I've only ever put like 12.5 gallons in at around 1/8 tank.

Wow 30 and 15 is a big jump...are you sure?

My ws6 gets 19 in mixed driving. I'm about 50/50 for hiway and city. Out hiways are usually stop and go or speed up and slow down. I'm on the hiway but that isn't really hiway driving.

Under the same conditions, my DD, a 98 sentra, gets 40 mpg.

[stanger88]

HIghway I get around 400 miles to the tank, by that I mean before I fill up. Which is about 26.5 gal on avg. (I had my cat replaced lately, maybe it will go up?)

Around the city I get 260 miles or so before I need to fill up.

Below is the actual data from mine. This is my 3rd one and I didn't see much difference. This is a mix of highway and city, the best I've ever gotten on an all highway tank of gas was 27.8, with my current car. I've never seen the highway mileage some are getting on any of mine. I also haven't seen any drop with any of the minor mods I've made.

I drive my car 38 miles each way to owrk in the Southern California commute and I average 22 miles per gallon. I drove my car to Vegas at around 80 MPH and averaged 26 mpg.

My bone stock 02 WS6/M6 got 28.5 driving out of the Ohio Valley (Dayton) to Bardstown, Ky (just south of Louisville) yesterday. That was w/ mid-grade and running 80 w/ the cruise set. I get about 17.5 mpg running around town in Dayton.

My 2001 Formula Firehawk has performance mods that help gas mileage, K&N filter, SLP air lid, smooth bellows, high capacity radiator, and cooling fan control switch. Adding better air flow to mix with the gas and also keeping the motor cool makes for better performance. I calculated 32 miles per gallon from Ft Worth to OK City, uphill and against the wind. And then I got 34 MPG from OK city back to Ft Worth, down hill with the wind. It is cheaper than driving my 88 K-5 Blazer or my 98 Suburban.

goin down 95 to florida got 36(best ever 6sp exhaust) usually low 30's though. round town it was like 20. id usually go 1st, 3rd, and then 6th at round 40mph and shift before 2k. this one i got from lower NC to delaware 26.7. round town sucks though. i like to hear the exhaust downshifting

40mph in 6th gear gotta be a bogged down 800rpm. I bearly feel comfortable using 6th gear below 60mph. And honestly 36mpg, come on?!
