What's your exact fuel economy?

Well, next time you fill the gas tank all the way, drive 200 miles, fill the tank up again, and then calculate the fuel economy. With my gauge at half tank, I've only used 7 gallons, so 200 miles on 7 gallons is good.

yeah when I used to go to the track or something I would only get around 200 miles from a tank. Normal driving I would get 250-350 depending on how much highway and city I would be doing

As for the D3 thing if you have your car in D3 your car never shifts into 4th gear and thus has much higher revs than it should in turn it burns more gas.
