having come from a 16g Killer powered Eclipse GST Spyder, i am so happy to see my gass millage. I'd be lucky to see more than 250 before the light would come on, Now if i drive relitivly sensibly i get about 370- 400 miles out of a full tank!!!
cheers

P.s. What the tank capacity? & what level octane to you guys normally use?

 

I have a P5

55L/14.5G tank (has a 10 litre/2.6G reserve)
I use 87 Octane
I usually get 500km/310miles before getting the low fuel light
For people that aren't mathletic that is 9L/100km, or 21.4 MPG (US gallons not UK)
I do 50/50 city/highway driving
And I do accelerate hard on occasion, from lights or highway on ramps

I have a 1999 Protege ES sedan.

It has a 13.2 gallon tank. I generally get between 300-320 miles per tank. That calculates to 22-24 mpg. I generally do about 65% city and 35% highway driving. I accelerate hard most of the time, shift generally between 4,000-6,000 rpm, and drive 80 mph on the freeway. I use 87 octane.

On long trips with cruise control set at 80 mph, I get about 410 miles per tank. That's about 31 mpg. EPA rating for my car is 26/30.

You're doing better than you think because 9.0 L/100 km is 26.1 mpg (US). After four months of ownership my worst tank on my P5 was 25.3 mpg and my best 31.8. I drive very conservatively but the car is mostly used for short (less than ten-minute) trips to and from work, so that brings the fuel economy down.

 

i get ~500km for a tank of gas

 

P5, stick, 17k+ miles, mixxed driving... 380-420 miles per tank.

 

I have a 99 LX w/ the 13.2 gallon tank. I get about 320 miles/tank. Usually run 87 octane but recently it stopped pinging after running premium. Maybe I'll start using premium now.

 

P5, 55 ltr tank, manual, 87 octane gas from husky/mohawk only

I've been keeping track of every fill since day 1 and the average is ~26 MPG 2/3 city driving, 1/3 highway (115km/hr avg)

That's with hard accelerating about a third of the time, a fair bit of idling in rush hour and almost always 3 of the 5 windows open all the way, all of which hurt mileage a bit.

 

your right, I forgot to use the 11.9 gallons instead of 14.5
Thanks

P5. stick i usually get someting around 400-500 kms for all city driving and an easy 600+ kms for all highway driving.

 

I usually get about 400-450 out of a tank after driving about 25miles after the light has come on. My average gas mileage has been about 33mpg. Best 38.6mpg driving in the mountains. Worst 26.5mpg lots of stop and go and hard acceleration.

I love the long range between fillups of this car!

 

I usally get 24 mpg, ~310 miles to a tank. I drive about 95% city, 5% highway. Whenever I drive a long distance on the interstate, I get about 31-32 mpg.

 

That seems to be what I'm getting too. Drove to Lethbridge today, 400km. return... burned exactly 1/2 tank, and that was with a 8 min 105mph blast down this back road.
Which brings me to the next point, The car got up to 105 fairly quickly, but doged from there. NEED HP, in a big way. (May have to look at the new turbo or maybe something else?)

W/ Regular unleaded, not that ethanol crap i get about 275 miles per tank. That is w/ 95% city driving. I enjoy accelerating hard through the gears and i am sure it has a negative effect on my gas mileage (sp?)

 

P5..5Speed..cai intake i get about 420miles to a tank. i get on it quite often
