I have an 01 GT 5 Speed and i just filled it up i drove 65 miles and its almost at 1/2 a tank already is this normal? thanks

It could be, but only because fuel gauges are often quite inaccurate...[/align][/align]The tank holds 15.7 gallons, about 15 of which are actually useable if you really used 7.5 gallons in 65 miles then there'd be either:[/align][/align]a giant black cloud everywhere you went;[/align][/align]a trail of raw gas on the ground;[/align][/align]or you drove 65 miles in third gear--which brings up a point, where were those 65 miles driven, at what speeds in what terrain?[/align][/align]Fill it up again and see how many gallons it takes, that will tell you real story.[/align][/align]

i dont think that is normal under normal/correct driving conditions, theres no way you can be getting 8-10 mpg, unless your really really racing around

sometimes my mileage looks like its really bad but like cliff said you gotta fill up to actually see. fill up and reset the trip gauge, and then drive for a few days and then fill back up and divide the miles on the clock by the gallons on the pump

man thats not cool at all. I can get 65 miles before the needle moves off of the "F"

i dont know about the new edge but the sn95 have a seal on the tank that the fillertube goes in to. u might be able to see it from the back wheel

i get about 65 miles to half a tank on a daily basis and my car is running strong as ever, i was skeptical also but its because i only do city driving right now. I shift at 2k rpm but since its so much stop and go im getting 8mpg on average. On the highway i usually get about 18MPG.

^^ that sucks, alot of people get 18 city in theres... i remember seeing in other gas mileage threads that people get 18+ city and 23+ highway... some even get 23-25 combined!

2001 GT, I get 23mpg combined

My needle doesn't even move off full until I hit 75 miles and I usually get around 300 a tank putting around 13 gallons in.

Im one of those 23-25 combined
