How many miles can you get on one tank of gas? - Page 2

Lock n Load · 05-18-2008

I can get 350-400 miles a tank out of both vehicles, but one gets about 15mpg (Expedition) and the other appox. 25mpg avg. (wifes Explorer)

No car payments but expensive fuel charges!!!

I get right at 110 miles on the 2.5 gal tank of my 20 year old XT600. Puts it at about 44mpg. Others, with similar bikes, get 50-60 mpg. Maybe I shouldn't "ride her like I stole her"?

MY F150 gets 16-18mpg and has a 20gal tank to around 300 mi per tank.

If you add Acetone to your tank 3oz per 10gal it will increase your gas mileage. Use the unscented 100% kind.
I tried it and it works, read about it on the WWW somewhere.
My wife does all of the driving now and thus the fillups and forgets to buy it and put it in.

The extra mpg wasn't a big deal until the prices went up.
I don't remember how much it increased the mileage but it did add enough to matter.

Acetone In Fuel Said to Increase Mileage

There are both positive and negative information about it on the internet but evidently Acetone is an ingredient in a lot of fuel additives.

All I can say is check your mileage before and after using Acetone.

In the 04 Honda Accord, I get about 430-450 out of a 16 gal tank
About $55-$65 to fill up, depending on price.

In the 04 Ram 2500, I get about 375-425 out of a 36 gal tank

About $135-$145 to fill up.

If I am towing our camper, I get 300-360 on the tank

'04 Mazda 3, tank holds about 12.5 gallons and I can usually go between 315 and 350 miles between fill-ups.

My '02 Subaru Legacy GT gets about 350-380 miles per 14.2 gallon tank. Not bad considering it is not a compact, has AWD, and shorter than non-GT spec gearing.

Nope, but will do. I am on NASIOC though.

My Dodge Durango gets about 14 miles to the gallon. I love that car but if we didn't have a camper to tow, I would probably get rid of it. Of course, I had to get the one with the hemi too. Not to mention we probably still owe 3 years on it. We usually drive Scutter01's Kia around because it gets MUCH better gas mileage. I think he has a Spectra but I don't what his gas mileage is.

Getting the worst mileage I've every gotten in my Silverado (15 mpg), the minimum I'd go on just the tank full (36 gal) would be 540 miles. If I could get the best mileage I've gotten on the highway (about 22 mpg), and I had a little extra in the fill neck of the tank (say 1/2 gallon), I could go a little over 800 miles.
