how many miles per gallon are you guys getting? city/highway? mods? miles per tank? when do u fill up? on my new alero its a little under 1/4 so i should be filling up soon? the fuel gauge seems really good on it, my Z28 was so bad when it read 3/4 i literally had 1/4 of a tank left.

[misslindseysue]

I used to get 32mgp highway easy, more if I was nice to it. Then I moved to Detroit where the highway is slower than city. Now I'm getting 20-25mpg combined, depending on the construction.
I have no mods, and I never keep track of miles/tank, I fill up when it's cheapest. I've also run it over 50 miles past the gas light and still had a gallon left. I don't recommend it, but don't flip out when you see the light. Although it's easier to burn up a fuel pump if you run it empty all the time, so it's not the best idea.

when is the gas light supposed to turn on? i have been super low on gas plenty of times and the light has never come on.

[FormulaNERD]

only 175 miles from full to dummy light on this last tank :(

[tenny]

haha thats funny about the gas light, my dad was always telling me that before on my cavalier I let never put gas in it till about 30 miles after the dummy light, it came on so many times that it eventually burnt out and stopped comming on, causing me to run out of gas twice before I learned to fill up after so many miles lol. Now I always go buy the trip meter instead of the actual fuel gauge.

I avergae anywhere from 21 to 24mpg depending on the kind of trips I'm doing, and my car is 100% stock with the 3.4L Auto. My gauge comes on @ 1/8 tank.

[Vtolds]

I get 20 to 25 mpg in my 2.4 liter but I drive pretty hard.

[mobs241]

my car with teh 3.4 gets about 15-16 city and about 22-24 highway.
it sucks compared to what some of these peeps get :(

[Joshter]

the most i have gotton out of a tank is 400 miles, mostly highway but not all highway

[Redog]

Straight highway I got 37 MPG once and only once

I avg on road trips about between 30 and 35 MPG

My light comes on when only 1.5 gallons are left in the tank

[tenny]

i got 29mpg last tank on probably 70% highway, and was driving it hard the other 30% since I just got it lol

[Crolero]

I get about 250 miles a tank, my best was 300 on the highway. im starting to see my milage go down my last tank was 220 and i think that this tank will be a bit less. Maybe time to change my fuel filter again.

I usually get 300 miles a tank. Not too bad I guess for just a thermo and CAI. planning on putting the TB and manifolds soon tho.

[mdodge]

Average 30-32mpg. I have a CAI just converted to WAI so I'll have to see if there is any change. Also have the powerstat thermo and new plugs/wires. I drive mostly country roads and I play nice to the engine usually.

[ziaplayboy]

my alero gets 33-29 highway and 20-25 city
i have a CAI and a FlowMaster

[2000NavyAleroGLS]

I have gotten 43mpg with the wind on highway. Out here everything is flat and straight. Usually average 38 though. In town its at about 16 cause I drive it hard. These figures are on the 3.4L too.

[blueyezalero]

I have the 2.4 and I know my light comes on when the needle is just above the E line.

I can drive from Austin,Tx to Wisconsin on 3 fill-ups...so I don't know how many miles.

City driving I fill up usually once a week and I drive 30 miles back and forth to work but I usually drive slow.

[alerochick242]

I used to get 18 mpg commuting to school (combination of backroads and city driving). After I installed my CAI with the K&N filter, I jumped up to 24-26 mpg for the same commute. On long trips, I get about 30 mpg. Oh yeah, I have the 3.4L, by the way. I have been all the way down to about 1/8 to 1/16 of a tank and have never seen my light come on!
