How many miles to the tank do u get?

[ShortCircuit]

Well on average how many miles do you guys get total? Some might be way different because of how u drive, but i just wanna see everyones gas mileage.

[jackal2000]

i get about 28-29mpg (highway) and about 20mpg (city)

[blindman]

i get like 19-22 mpg city and i dont really no about highway

[AGT]

I usually got 250 per tank...had a CAI and drove it like it was the batmobile :lol:

[alero_ecotec]

I'll usually get over 300 per tank, city driving, and I have the ecotec.

I should be doing better now that I just did some major service on my car.

[mfuller]

New PB of 476.2 miles on one tank.















In the Civic. ;)

[jackal2000]

you cant really go off of miles per tank because i know for a fact that no one drives until they run out of gas.

n-bodies have a 14 gallon tank right? i cant remember.

[HazMatt24]

I get anywhere from 250 to 300 from full to warning light

[alero_ecotec]

14.1 gallons.

I never let mine get to the warning light.

[aPIRATEwithADD]

263.2 miles from full to warning light last time

[cherrington17]

mine has never seen warning light, but i average 20-22 city and 24-27 highway... depends on how hard i'm driving it.

~300 miles per tank

[myowneq]

I usually average between 250 and 300. But I'm usually the guy doing 90mph in the left lane and stomping on the gas from the red light. :D

I have gotten almost 400 once where I was able to do all that on the Interstate with cruise control on at 70 mph. :)

[antichrysler]

when i had mine i'd get about 350kms city (250miles) and 600km highway (400 miles) but that was also on a 3400

[ShortCircuit]

k well ill prob get about 250.. i just got it and my license... so you know how it is.. like to try it like an asshole for a little while until i get it out of my system. (probably wont ever and will need to go faster and faster) haha.

[tonyboi261]

i drove mine to work and school for about a week on teh "E"

LOL, 525....in the accord on 13.5 gallons....Anyhow, on the highway, I averaged around 28-32 depending on how much i stayed out of the gas pedal

[misslindseysue]

My gas guage doesn't work exactly perfectly. So I fill up around 300 miles. I've made it past 330 before. I usually get about 28mpg in the summer with my V6. The last couple tanks I averaged 29. I've been slowing down a little... gas is expensive! My drive is almost 3/4 highway, then whatever running around I do before work.

[Oldsman]

i get 24-26mpg in town and 30-32mpg on the highway. and that after the build.








my mom gets 54-58mpg in her prius

[natedawg9640]

iv'e gotten 400 for the last 4 fills in a row... i'm quite pleased.

[rustyballs_69]

I run out of gas at 340, found this out when the damn gas gauge decided it wasn't going to work. It said I had 1/4 of a tank left but I guess not.

[MixtapeMessiah]

15-17 mpg city and 24-27 mpg highway

[Frostbite545]

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.

[jackal2000]

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

[Frostbite545]

20-23 mpg

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


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.

[doubleN0alero]

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.

What on earth are you talking about? I leave in NC, USA...I'm talking 29/39 MPG US, not Imerial Gallons

[billytheman1188]

ahh ok, so it is 14. well my step dads jet ski still has a bigger gas tank. lol

[antichrysler]

There's no way your Alero gets 39mpg US, you must have made a mistake in your number crunching.

[doubleN0alero]

I said my NEW car...not the alero...honda accord

[antichrysler]

ohhhhhhhhh okay... my bad. I thought you were saying that site claimed aleros got 23/31 or and yours was getting 29/39

Yeah i could see the accord getting that high... especially if it's the 4 cylinder

[RazziAlero99]

300 per tank with over 90k.

[SIUlero]

If I let my fuel light come on, I have to go straight to a gas station, cause if I shut it off, it won't start again till I put in some gas, and pull out and put back in the fuel pump relay with the ignition on. I don't know why...it doesn't matter if I'm on flat land, or slightly uphill or downhill. It's annoying, but I know about it so I don't let it happen now. Anyway, light came on last night coming home, I went and filled up...12.8 gal. So if the tank is 14.1 gal, there's still around 1.5 gal left when my light comes on. That fill-up was at ~280 miles, mostly city. Interstate I can usually get 330 to 340.

[black]

300 per tank for me.
if i draft behind a semi or a minivan/pickup
i can get over 380 miles.

i have the 3.4 v6 2002

[TheEdgeofSanity]

22 city, 28 hwy with the 3400 v6
