Miles to tank?

[jmsa540]

I just got 251 miles to my tank before the fuel light came on, is this about normal average? 90% city, 10% highway.

[gdsqdcr]

Sounds about right. I average around 270 a tank in heavy commute, so 251 with mostly city .... Not bad.

But you should probably exercise that right foot more .. Press the pedal down a bit more, and you will have more fun with the car!

[jmsa540]

HAH! Nice, thanks for the recommendation! :) Now that I got the tranny flushed, I think I will.

[CoreyM75]

I seem to be averaging about 225 miles to the tank. I like the gas pedal too much to try and stretch the mpg's out.

[HotRaud90]

340 mi to the tank....with 3.27 gears :D 65/35 highway/city percentage

[chief455]

I fill up at 250 miles max to avoid exposing the fuel pump under acceleration.
On a 65 mph full highway trip, I got exactly 21 mpg. (210 miles / 10 gallons to refill)
Average mixed driving gets 18-19 mpg = ~250 miles / tank.

If you want useful data reset your trip meter when you fill her up. I always place the nozzle in the same depth and stop after the second click.

The next time you get gas write down the amount of gallons. Then divide the number of miles on the trip meter by the number of gallons. This equals your miles per gallon.

For a more accurate reading fill up when there is less than a 1/4 tank.

There is a "Mileage" app I use on my phone. Yellow icon with black fuel pump, Evan Charlton.

Avg fuel economy - 15.84
Worst fuel economy - 11.15
Best fuel economy - 23.65
Avg distance - 228.14

Supercharged Marauder gets 230 miles, n/a Marauder gets 330+ miles.

How many gallons are left in your tank when the low fuel lite comes on?

How many gallons are left in your tank when the low fuel lite comes on?

Mine usually takes right at 16 gallons when fuel light comes on.

[justbob]

120? Or so.

Who the hell cares!

[tbone]

Not many.......

[marauderthis]

I dont let the fuel level get passed 1/4. Averaging 20mpg mainly interstate highway @ 70mph

260-290 on average in the warm months
200 if I'm lucky in cold months with winter blend gas

[Motorhead350]

343 was the best I ever got with conservative driving and nearly stock.

310 was easily obtainable.

This was with nothing more than a "flash" and K & N air filter.

[BLACKMARAUDER04]

It all depends on how heavy of a foot you have and air conditioning.
I usually get 200-230 city driving with air conditioning.
During winter, it goes up to 230-250. If I add in freeway driving,
I can go 280-330. All freeway 310-360.

[whitey]

360, on e, 20.5X mpg, mostly highway, mods are in my signature

[camelgrundle]

Hey will 6.14 gears hurt my mpg? Want to stay above 3mpg to save the environment.

[Tnbigbody]

ive noticed with the non ethanol blended gas (e10) aka what we grew up on.. lol .. I get about 50-70 more miles per tank. which easily pushes towards the 350 mark. but that ethanol blend is cheaper as it were kind of a toss up.. more for filling up / more miles= less per fill up but more frequently / less miles..

I heard that there is 2 to 3 gallons left in the tank when the low fuel light come on. However the fuel pump inlet needs to remain submerged to prevent vapor in the fuel line, engine knock and possible damage.
However it is good to know because some marauder owners have had to put in a few gallons of regular grade gas in an emergency to get home.

Best I did stock was 410 miles before the warning light came on. That was 95% highway at 65 MPH. I think it was right around 18,000 miles

Now with 428 RWHP I'm right around 300 miles at the same conditions. with 49,700 miles

Never driven the Marauder in winter so have no idea what I would get with the garbage blend stuff.

[Jolly Roger]

Bone stock I got about 430 miles all highway and had an 1/8th of a tank left.
I had just drove home from the dealer that I bought it from in Corbin, Kentucky to Cleveland, Ohio.
355 gears 68 mph on cruise.;)
To say that I was impressed would have been an understatement.
Got 410's now and haven't checked.

[jwibbity]

I get about 250 if im lucky, 4.10s, Eaton, 428/378
