LOL same thing happened to me... except I had driven about 300 miles. All my driving is city, stop and GO... yeah. Ive gotten 245 for a 1/2 tank once though, driving down state and back around 70mph.

my car pretty much dumps fuel at idle. fuel trim is usually right around -3.5 which is the way it has to be or it won't run at all.

you could just do what i did and sell it when it hits empty

[alerocar01]

mostly city and a little highway i can get about 250 at the most. all highway not much more then 300.

[Stanl3yX]

20-23 mpg

i thought i was the only one, but i guess all aleros have crappy gas mileage

[tcreek11]

i have never taken mine out on the highway but i usually get 18-20 in the city but i also have the dhp tuner if that makes any difference

Average I get about the same as you... but was able to get around 30mpg when I did plain highway driving at normal speeds like 65ish. Depends on how you drive really, and the maintenence on the car (fuel injectors, air filter etc)

[alero440]

This last fill up I got 289 to the tank. My highest has been 350 miles to the tank... all highway at 65 mph. I do a lot of city driving so that kills my mileage.

[blueolds01]

20x14.1=282 miles to a tank

[billytheman1188]

idk if someone said this, cause i didnt read the rest, but jackal you said 14 gallons???? im pretty sure my car has a 12 gallon tank. cause when i let the needle go until the light comes on, i fill up and get around 11.5 gallons. so its def a 12 gallon gas tank. My step dads jet ski has a bigger gas tank than my car....

[billytheman1188]

i get around 250 in the city, so 250/12 is about 21 mpg.
highway....310/12 is 26 mpg.

I dont even drive the car that hard, or go too fast on the highway and i only get 26 mpg.

Your light doesn't come on when your tank is empty. There are always a few gallons left behind for reserves. I thought the Alero had like a 15.3 or 15.9 gallon gas tank...somebody with an owners manual needs to check this one out. I have a 17.3 now, but the light comes on and it never takes more than 13 to fill it.

i knew there was some left, but i didnt know there was a few gallons? yea if nobody looks in the owners manual by the time i get home then i will just do it. I just thought, 12 gallons made sense by the miles i get from a tank....

[doubleN0alero]

Well I've put more than 12 gallons in the alero before, so its doubtful that its 12. I know the prius has one of the smallest tanks at 10 gallons, but then again, it gets 60 mpg, so it doesn't need to be real big.

ohhh ok. well that obviously makes sense, if you've put more than 12 in

yea, i think my sisters integra has a 10-11 gallon tank. it only costs her about 30 bucks to fill

[Cliff8928]

I know i've put at least 14 gallons in before... Usually one week to work and back gets the light to come on.

[alero_ecotec]

i was just reading through the specs. in the owners manual the other day to find coolant capacity, i can tell you with relative certainty that it's 14.1 gallons for gas

[doubleN0alero]

I stand corrected...14.6 gallons as per this website
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/noframes/19644.shtml

Now I don't think the website is entirely accurate b/c it says my new car gets 23/31, but I'm getting closer to 29/39..so who knows. But it was right on with the new fuel tank size.

[antichrysler]

The difference is the 23/31 is MPG (using US gallons). The 29/39 that you're talking about is Imperial Gallons (British gallons).

British Gallons are about 0.5L bigger than US gallons, so about 20% ish.
