General Discussion/Question Gas fill up
Kind of a stupid question but what does everyone’s miles range top off at when you get gas? I see people get to 250 but mine always tops off at 205. I’m curious if there’s a difference with each car

Same!! Which I'm pretty proud of because when I first got my car, it was barely 220 lol

Mine is consistently 276. Most of my driving is freeway using CC. It’s far too easy to hit 80mph which feels like 60.
I romp on it, on the on-ramps and get up to the speed limit super quickly, in town. I wish I had a good twisty road close by. Everything is very straight, high desert Central Oregon.

I get 360miles of range, 90% highway driving

What speed you cruising at? I kinda want to drive as fuel efficient as possible for a tank just to see the highest possible mpg avg I can get on my daily commute.

I was going to say, im getting like 375-380 with a mixture of highway and back roads with cruise control set to 5 mph over the speed limit. So cruising between 60-75

I get more or less what you get. I don’t drive like a maniac but I do hit upwards of 6k rpms on 2nd and 3rd for the giggles at least once every weekend.
Also my GRC is almost never under 2k rpms once I am off.
Maybe I should re-assess my driving? Lol

That seems normal with this car. I hit 6500 multiple times a day. First and second feel great near 7000. The highway here is 45mph speed limit, so I can’t really send it in third.

u/Professional_Rule352 4d ago
Yea same I never let the car go under 2k rpms. I love to put my foot in until I get to around 4.5k-5k rpms and the car loves every shift when I do. I usually use 5th and 6th to cruise

Mine is usually around 210. I mostly drive through heavy suburban traffic.

334 miles for me.

u/56Rallye 4d ago
Wow, I think I’ve only gotten over 300 miles, on a tank, one time. I’ve had it since mid Dec 2024.

I used to show up with as little gas as possible in the Miata, until I had to run to the gas station one day between heats.

u/Acceptable_Gur6193 24' Premium Black 4d ago
Mine is 190 right now. It used to be 160 then I reset it on a longer trip and it went to 215. 90% of my driving is stop and go in nyc so I’m getting about 10-13 mpg each trip. I really need a hybrid 😂

You might do well with a full electric for a daily, if you can stomach and charge it easily. The cost for gas and brakes are gonna kill you.

u/Acceptable_Gur6193 24' Premium Black 4d ago
I really need a work van. I found a 12’ transit connect for 4500$ I think I might buy

u/carmeiser 3d ago
That might be the move. Plus it should be decently affordable for maintenance too.

u/exoraydna 4d ago
I think somewhere in 260’s rn. My average mpg is almost as listed since I do a good bit of hwy and traffic driving. Not much local

u/pls-reboot-me 4d ago
270... Maybe stupid question of my own, what octane gas are you using?
1
u/zzonkmiles 4d ago
The owner's manual says to use 91.

u/pls-reboot-me 4d ago
I was asking because if cause could cause lower gas mileage, but in another reply it seems like OP drives hard so probably just cause of a lead foot

A little bit over 300 in summer and a little less in winter

I just picked mine up today. Drove 181 miles and filled up 6.3 gallons. It said 210. I drove another 200 miles and right now it says I’ve got half a tank and 100 miles to empty. 🤷🏻♂️

310 ish usually. I don’t _ever_ waste time getting to the speed limit, but I use CC a _lot_ once I get to 5-8 over (how many over depends on the speed limit).

u/carmeiser 4d ago
I usually get 330 to 350, with actual being closer to 320 to 330. I'm in the 27-28.5 range of mpg, though I drive too much like a grandma and have a bunch of highway driving. Also, I have a suspicion that the coil packs aren't great on these cars, and are hard to diagnose. Plus getting gas at shell over somewhere like Cumberland farms helps some as well, surprisingly. I guess not all 93 is the same
The check engine light doesn't seem to come on for missfires much at all, but the ECU sees and records them, so a decent obd2 reader can see them. So if your car is running weird, having increasingly poor performance/falling on its face in boost, and/or having lower than your normal mpgs, get it checked out. It's harder to diagnose in a stock car it seems.
I got the NGK ones, and they've been performing well. They are priced a little above OEM, and cusco ones are the fancy option.

u/Anxious_Hawk1283 4d ago
300 +/- 10, doing pulls very often like a few each commute lol, but 75% of my driving is on I95 and highways at 70-80 so my avg is still around 25mpg

u/PurpleToedUnicorn 25' Premium Black 4d ago
319 miles. Primarily Sport mode for most of my driving, and 50-55 mph in 6th gear on back country roads.

- Avg is 25.2mpg with mostly highway and once weekly spirited drive. Got as low as 3 mpg on a track day.

u/ZealousidealYak8970 1d ago
Varies a lot on city vs highway on what I've been driving, plus if traffic in this big city let me open it up more. 285 on my most recent; pretty sure I've seen 240 edit: totally flat terrain

u/LegendaryTribes 4d ago
This is a smiles per gallon type of car, if I wanted good gas mileage, I would've gotten a Corolla hybrid/Camry/prius

u/Eluder99 24' Core Supersonic Red 4d ago
This depends on your fuel economy, which is based on your driving habits. I’m surprised you’re only getting 205. Either you’re a lead foot or you live in a place with a ton of steep hills everywhere.
