Default What's the best gas mileage you have gotten?

The absolute best gas mileage you have achieved and your car and setup. I'm just curious. I find that this is what Hondas do best!

350miles on the highway with the A/C blasting and 300lbs of luggage in a 98 EX with I/E and still had another gallon or so to go. (Wife was nagging me to pull and fill up)

My city MPG sucks a$$ though....225-250 before the yellow light comes on.

420ish miles on one tank (on two different occasions) 1994 Civic EX 5sp coupe, with Iceman CAI, DC ceramic header, GREddy SP exhaust, 195/50-15 tires (Nitto NT450 at the time, back in 1997 or 1998).

I think that's somewhere between 38-42mpg, I'm too lazy to calculate. My tank is 11.9 gallons according to Honda.

Worst gas mileage? 11.7mpg during a whole day of hotlapping Streets of Willow during Hybrid Track Day 1 July 1, 2000.

I regularly go 375 or so before I fill up, and I still have 1.5-2.5 gallons left, and I have 165,000 miles on my D16Z6 too.

I have a 95 cx with exhaust and a K&N drop in and I get around 35 mpg on a 10 gallon tank. My best is around 42, but I have to try really hard for that. I can't get worse than 32. Something is wrong if you only get 175 per tank.
