Ive been reading around these forums, and i see how some fellow MF'ers get 200+ in one tank =| Am i the only one that barely reaches 150 miles in ONE tank? Should i get this checked out?

I Live in Miami, Florida if it helps...

Sounds like you got a problem. Last roadtrip I took a year ago, I calculated getting 300 miles on a full tank. That was before I got my CAI/tune also. Car was completely stock at that point too. I'm making another trip in 3 weeks, so we'll see what she runs now

What are your driving habits? Obviously a leadfoot is going to get less miles out of a full tank, so if that is your problem it explains your lack of good fuel economy.

Florida...do you keep your a/c on a lot? Not like that would totally kill your mpg, but it doesn't help.

Do you take a lot of short trips? Do you idle at a standstill for long intervals?

As you can see, some questions should be answered before deciding if there is a problem with the car or not.

I wouldn't say I have a lead foot, but I tend to get on her at least once a day for fun. I only run my AC when it's at least 80 degrees. I love having my window down cruising

I DID Notice, last time I was in Boca that my mpg SUCKED when travelling from Hillsoro Blvd -> West Palm area, might be plain bad gas down there

On the way down there... 645 miles (and a lead foot), I did it on 2 tanks of gas with some to spare

That's key too! Often bad gas = bad mileage. I ALWAYS use Chevron.

I usually get at least 300 out of a tank

Yea 150 on a full tank seems wayyyy off. Thats like AC on full blast MPG right there LOL. From where I am, I can get to Los Angeles and back with a full tank...I think LOL

That's only about 9 mpg. You've got some kind of problem. I'd take it to someone.
