Default RE: miles per tank

ORIGINAL: magnum04RT

i deliver pizzas, and if i gun it a couple times to cut through traffic when im pullin outta the shop, i get about 240. never took her on a trip all freeway, but i have gotten as much as 280 with 1/4 tank freeway and the rest stop and go. mobil 1 full synthetic makes her run like a champ.
ya i guess thats average for r/t's cuz ill get about 250 and when its all freeway i get 300 even but i always thought that was terrible mpg. On my last car i was getting 320 on a tank

Most I ever went on a tank was 360. I had to put in alittle over 10 gallons to fill it up. Didn't think i was going to make it to the gas station.

Just got back from my trip. From Iowa to Michigan, about 620 miles, I averaged 42 mpg on 87 octane, going about 68-70 mph the whole way. On the way back, I cruised anywhere between 70 and 85, and still got about 40... on longer trips on the interstate, this seems to be a great mpg effect. Like I said before though, usually going to work throughout the week I can never do any better than 36 or so lately... but this last trip I just took got me curious again with the 40+ I was getting...

The most I've ever gotten out of my 00' was like 310 miles out of a tank.

Well less than 10 gallons to go 250 miles in stop-and-go driving with an automatic isn't that bad if you think about it.
