i usually am around 200 when i need gas. i get 87 octane. but 89 is cheaper...and gets same mileage. i have no idea why i insist on sticking with 87. but at the same time i have an 03 GT with 10k miles on it. and its prolly 80%-20% city to highway

How many miles are on your tank when you fill up is not an accurate way to determine gas mileage.You need to fill up your tank, set your tripometer to zero, then next time you fill up, divide the miles by the number of gallons. Its that simple.

I am driving across country right now and I am averaging 220 miles per 9 gallons of gas.

I typaiclly fill up when the gauge gets down to half because I think I get better milage on the full half of the tank rather than the empty half. Anyone else experience this?I'm not 100% sure about this phenomenon just a guesstimate. My gas gauge sucks!

...it's probably my innaccurate gauge. But 24 mpg is accurate.

thats cause almost 75% of gas mileage depends on the nut behind the wheel.
