Fuel light-how many miles?

[Dr. Jimbo]

My fuel light goes on almost every time at 225 miles in my normal, around town driving. It usually takes about 10.75 gallons (Give or take) to fill up. I guess I have a couple of gallons left at that point.
How 'bout you all?

[Java Junky]

You all????
'Mus' be a southern Cal thing, eh Doc?

[Dr. Jimbo]

I was gonna say "Y'all". I lived in Tennessee for a few years too. I figured most people would think "wtf?"

[rickjkerstetter]

Is Java makin fun of other peoples wording? haha classic. No, to most of us red neck americans y'all is a acceptable "slang" term. Ask President Bush, he will tell you I'm correct in between snortin lines of coke and slappin around Laura.

[bbcricketta]

wail now y'all...my mileage is about 24-25 mpg. that is with some vtec-in' agoin' on. when my few-ell lite comes on, i genn'ally gots about 2 gallon of gass ( that's how richard "the king" petty pronounces it- rhymes with fass (fast for the uninformed)) left in my tank. i don't talk like this too much but i kin if i has'ta.

[Java Junky]

Oh lordy! Rhett? I think I has da vapuh'z. These kine folks done taken mah breath away with their sweet-talkin'.
rj, be it officially known that (With one eye squinched closed, a broad smile exposin' the glint'uv'a gold tooth) I be pokin' fun at any craft whut'z dead'in'a water, n' rightfully so, I 'specks fire ta be returned whenever the opportunity fer a broadside presents itself.
Doc, looky heah whu'cha done stahted!
Oh yeah . . MPG. I can't be payin' attention to how many miles I get to a gallon. Everytime I check, mine'z the smallest n' I plumb hate when'att happens, y'know?
Grumpy

[bobby2002s2k.]

I think "you all" is a northern thing there Java good buddy. "Ya'll" is our southern claim to fame im thinkin is in good ole Webster now,lol. Or maybe i'm thinkin of Ain't? Not to sure so dont quate me on that.

[Dr. Jimbo]

Don't worry Bobby, I wont quate you on that.

lol, ya got me Doc.

[S2000dude]

Dr Jimbo - I ditto your experience. Almost without fail when the "gas tank" symbol shows up it's 225 on the odo and 10.7 gallons at the pump.

[bbcricketta]

does anybody check their oil with any frequency? i check the oil and tire pressure just about everytime i take my girl out. i have added 8 ounces of oil in my 3200 miles, and my dipstck is down about a diamond right now. i understand that the car will use a little oil. what is your oil consumption?

[bbcricketta]

and if you know, state your mileage and driving habits.

[philiam]

I hit the twistys above Malibu. Lots of 2nd and 3rd gear corners. Just filled up. 214 miles 9.5 gals. A little over 22. I like to fill up when the tank gets down to half. Less condensation and less looking for a good price on premium gas.

[Java Junky]

Okay, okay, I um-m-m-m , , , almost always get 20 to a gallon.
But I really think that traffic has alot ta doo with my small . . . er-r-r . . numbers. If ya spend time on the brakes n' then havin' to reaccelerate, ya jus' ain't gonna go'da the head'a the class with mileage.

bb, as fer addin' any oil:
very, very infrequently n' only when I'm lookin' ta spend quality time with Stewie (n' make the neighbors think that I might actually know whut I'm lookin' at under Stewie'z hood). Currently got about 33 on'a clock.
Tire pressures: especially in the back n' forth temps that we're gettin' of late (60'z at lunch n' 20'z by dawn) I spend alodda time adjustin' 'em, especially if I'm goin' out fer a ride.

I don't use my brakes all that much. I prefer to use the gears and just touch the brakes to set up my line. But then I'm not in a hurry and just try to hold a smooth line. Michael Schumacher isn't threatened by me. I just like to drive the damn car!

[Kalm_Traveler]

My first tank got about 200 miles on it, roughly 19mpg but it was my first 'real VTEC' car heh...

Since then I'm always getting 24-26 depending on how many *ahem* "spirited drives" happen. This usually is about 240-250 miles til the "you're about to get stranded" light comes on.

[Java Junky]

'Sum'zitt up real well Phil: I jus' like ta drive the damn car too!
C'mon gang! Repeat after Phil . . I just like to drive the damn car too!

[TheSoundMan21]

I just like to drive the damn car too!

22-26 MPG I can go 240-260miles fill up range is 10.5g-11g

Im 23 and I do use V-Tec

Have to check oil every 3 fill ups usually a half a quart fixs er up.

[RuffRyder]

damn I'm only getting 180mpg to the tank. I do live in NYC though, so that stop and go traffic definitely kills me. I have recently changed the PCX filter with my oil change, I changed the cabin filter (doubt this affects anything) and I changed my Air Filter.

Still the gas mileage is NOT that great, and I hardly ever hit those corners hard nor do I hit vtec alot. Anywayz, my 00 has 91k on it, so I guess now its time to check those damn spark plugs

[Ualreadykno]

guess im doin sumthin right cuz im gettn about 290-300 w/o using vtec that much and 6th gear cruise control set to 65-70

[sonic]

I got 300 miles out of my tank last week with about 22 miles on the gas light.

[TheSoundMan21]

I have hit 300 once. My usual is 250-270 and I enjoy every bit of it. Heck I got 273 yesterday at 26.25mpg

[DJJSR]

I don't check my mileage anymore. The price of premium has me ticked off and I don't want to think about it any more than I have to. $3.80 per gallon this afternoon. That's the highest for me so far. How 'bout ch'all?

[TheSoundMan21]

I am in Oklahoma and I paid $3.50 yesterday. Likewise I dont care anymore. I just drive how I want.

[Dr. Jimbo]

It's $4.33 self serve premium at the station at the corner by my house. The Shell I go to: $4.09. So quit'jer bitchin' dj!
I've been riding my Kona mountain bike to work. In 3 weeks I've saved about $120 in gas, and lost 8 lbs (round trip gives me about an hour of cardio). But after a long day, I'd rather slide behind the wheel of the S.

Oh yea, I forgot about Ca. I lived up by the bay for 8 years, prices of everything are a bit loony.

Wow, I feel better already! Thanks, Doc. Hey, let us know when it gets higher will ya?

hahaha it all sounded normal.. until that.. ta... hahahha just thought that was funny, i was fooled into thinking that the whole thing was going to sound like that..

HAD TO POINT THAT OUT

[philiam]

Just filled up today. $3.97 was the cheapest I could find. Diesel $4.39. Got 26 on my flower shoot and a lot of that was hard driving. Normally between 20-22.
