Default I think I set a record...

...at least for me anyway. I filled up the other day with 407 miles on my tank, 11.5 gallons to fill up! That's over 35 mpg. This wasn't even straight highway mileage, just my daily circuit between work, home, friends' houses, etc. with some VTEC'ing here and there. Pretty awesome for a 165K+ mile engine if I do say so myself.

It's not my best mpg so far (I got 36 one time) but definitely the most miles ever on one tank.

For some tech ummmm... use injector cleaner or fuel system cleaner at every oil change, and change the oil on time! That's all I can think of.

my moms LS has about 152K and still gets ~320 on a full tank...

I should really change some of the basic stuff in that car...

Oh yeah, that wasn't even the most gas I have ever put in at once, one time I pumped over 12 gallons (13.2 gal. tank).

I get 360+ all freeway miles on my 97 LS....I go from la to chino then down to sfs sometimes hawthrone....I get around...I had shitty mileage when I used arco...I stick to citgo, chevron , or mobile....76 sucks *****... engine's got about 50k miles...I replaced it at 115k cause it started to burn oil (piston ring fried) best move I ever made.... wish I went with a B18C but for 400 installed I wasted the rest of the money on buds...both kinds....

I get about 300miles to a tank with city and some hard driving. I normally don't run the tank dry, so it's been 27-30mpg. Not sure what I could get with some easy driving, every time i've taken a tank easy(like this current one) i've gone out and went crazy on it for a night(last night musta been in VTEC more than I wasn't hahaha) The car is rather new to me, so I haven't had a chance to take it on a long hiway trip, I know my old civic that got 25mpg city once on the hiway could get 35+mpg so I'm hoping this car is even better :-D

Even with pictures, anyone can just rig it to say 400+ miles...


Back to topic: Patrick, which fuel system cleaner do you use?

I use Chevron Techron concentrate.... my *** dyno says it enhances my cars overall performance

I've hit 450 before...still had almost a gallon in the tank (put 12.5 in).

That was some pretty lame driving, but I wanted to set a record. Looks like I'm 2nd place for the post! I'll see if I can do better...

driving with the light on is very hard on the fuel pump, good way to waste money buying a fuel pump every year. It's like a heart when you lose to much blood, the tank(viens/arteries) is low so the pump(heart) has to work harder then it stops
