Curious as to how long a full tank lasts you. I filled up to Full 2 days ago and now I'm down to 3/4 tank lol. I guess going WOT every so often and gettin sideways don't help. So how long does your gas last? What are your driving habits? Sometimes i drive like a granny and other times I drive the complete opposite if I'm in the mood. Idk i just can't get my foot off the gas pedal when the exhaust starts to rumble. Oh and my car stalled for the 3rd time this week, think its the IAC

When I had my V6, I got right around 300 miles to a tank. Every time, just like clockwork.

My Cobra? I don't really know. I've never measured it, but I know it would be significantly less.

I honestly have not filled my tank full since before I did my 4.10's last spring, I drive the car so little that I just put like $15-20 in and call it done

The Explorer on the other hand needs gas every week and the Cougar is only like once a month now that my daughter is using it to just go back and forth from school

It just depends for me. A tank can last me a month if I don't drive it much, and when I'm driving it, I can fill up every other day. I tend to get about 24MPG. Probably about 225 to a tank. That's babying it 75% of the time, and slightly getting on it 20% of the time, and then about 5% WOT. It gets better gas mileage than my DD lol.

Well, at a rough average of 16 (16.175) mpg, I fill up on average a little less than once a week (7.7 days or so), at an average cost of around $0.23/mi, and $4.58/day... not that I track it or anything, particularly since putting in odometer gears... though I'm missing about a month's worth of fill ups not long after I got the car, so one or two stops (a 28-day long gap). Generally, I'll go around two weeks to a tank, short trips, but I'll go most of a tank some weekends on a 100mi each way trip, and I generally fill up after about 200mi.

My MPG has gone down a LOT since it got cold though, best I got was around 22mpg in the course of a 400mi trip over a couple days.

And... I've spent around $1200 in gas since I got the car... which extrapolates to $1673/yr, or $5.98 per state job work day... I was exceptionally bored one day.

when it's spring and I just wanna go for a cruise, I tend to drive really aggressive. I get like 240ish miles to a tank when driving aggressively, and 280-330 driving normally. perks of having a sixxer :)

Ehh I don't remember now to be honest. It's been too long since I've driven my Mustang :( But I do know that I avg'd around 21-23mpg per tank. The tanks that I raced from stop sign to stop sign just because I can? Well..... I really don't wanna know lol

100% highway ive gotten 24.5 mpg doin 65mph for 4 hours straight.

normally around 18 or so. right now im getting 15 cuz i let it warm up for 10-15 minutes every morning, cant stand cold when im still sleepy lol.

ive gone a whole tank granny driving and a whole tank beating the living shit out of it, and there was maybe a 2 mpg difference, so i just mildly beat it now haha

So true the gas difference when granny driving and actually having a bit of fun is minimal. K well here's a gas break down for me average $20 per day so you know just over 7k a year in fuel . That's all
