gas mileage

When my car was new it would get over 40 mpg on road trips. Now I get around 400 miles on a tank. Don't have a calculator but it should be somewhere in the mid-thirties. I have a 50 mile commute on I-95.

My Boxster gets around 30 mpg on the road and the BMW does around 29-29.

I'm getting between 32 and 34 on the highway.

I don't push the car hard at all, it's just my weekday beater.

i turbo'd my car at the wrong time. look at the gas prices. i use super now, and its like 2.40 a gallon. i don't know how good my mileage is now since i've only been able to put in like 3 or 4 dollars at a time, but i think i remember getting 25 or 26 per gallon.
Yesterday i put 10 dollars in my tank to hit up the clubs in providence, like a 45 min. drive, and i drove about 90mph the whole way. and when i got there my fuel light came on. weird.

Depends on how I drive. If I drive like an Indy drive 350Kms per tank and if I drive like grandma I get 610Kms per tank. This is all city driving and no Highway.

about 30-33 with a decent mix of highway/city. Pretty happy with that.
