Miles on a Tank of Gas...
Set a new personal best in my RSX-S. I went 378.1 miles on a single tank of gas. When I filled up, I put exactly 12.008 gallons back in the car.
Usually I'm lucky to get just over 300 miles. I was amazed that I ran 378.
How many miles is everyone else getting with their K?

Nice man, does anybody have kpro on a stock engine and monitor their MPG? I would like to see how much mpg a good tune would get you. I am sure most people with a kpro do not drive conservatively.

I got 29.5 MPG going to SF from LA going about 110 almost the entire way on the 5. The freeway was absolutely empty. Saw maybe 30 cars after about 200 miles.

I think the most I've ever gone is around 340, and that was on a drive from Seattle to California. I was going about 80 the whole time, and I actually got a chance to max my car out in the middle of the night haha. I mostly drive city miles going to work everyday, and I usually fill up every 280 miles. That doesn't sound that good compared to you guys.

I can squeeze up to 15 gallons in the type s when it's nearly empty. The miles you drive is dependent on 2 factors: 1) the gas in the tank 2) your driving habits
15 gallons x 30 mpg = 450 miles.
15 gallons x 30 mpg = 450 miles.

So how long then do you guys that are getting 350 miles plus per tank waiting after your fuel light comes on to get gas? I usually fill up once a week sometimes 2 times depending on what I do on the weekend. I'm pretty sure my light comes on when I use around 10 gallons or so. At that point I have gone on average 275 miles. So I figure I get about 26-28 mpg with mostly city driving and I also almost always have a few spirited moments. The most I've ever filled up is like 12.8 gallons.

I've run out of gas, and then filled an empty take. It'll take up to 15 (all the way to the top of the filler neck).
