Well Im happy as a pig in sh@@. I finally got over 500km to a tank of gas in my 07 ST, I didn't think I could do it.
The stupid brochure said I get 42mpg and that is bullsh%t. I do about 85% highway driving and have even tried going the speed limit (the hardest week of my life) But today I hit 517km. It did hurt when I filled up at $1.10 though.
So is that about what other people are getting?
About the same




























but my tank cost me $85 to fill :o
I'm taking my 07 ST to the Ohio next weekend if i keep it around 55- 60 MPH i hope to get close to 500 K to a tank of gas,,, but I wish it was a diesel for for better some better mileage
Driving a 03 zx5 manual - 500km a tank, 85% highway @ 120kph
Wow, I get at least 600KM to a tank in mostly highway... 550 last weekend @ 1/2 highway (330KMs), 1/2 city for the remainder.

2.0L Duratec, auto, MBRP exhaust.

100-130 on the 400, 100-110 on Hwy 11 depending on where I am.
I'm sure all of us could get better fuel ecconomy if we didn't have a right foot that only registered "on and off" :P
2.0 duratec , best mileage so far 37mpg , oh and its an automatic
My last tank, the gauge went under full when i hit the 200km mark. The gas light went on when i hit 699.2km(my record is 701.1 to the gas light coming on). I filled up at 703 because of the approaching longweekend prices. So i did pretty good.
last year I got 513 KMs with the A/C running full out & if I"m doing all highway like I used too my avarage was (+/-) 685 kms,, and the current city driving I'm still getting round the 550 mark.

2001 Focus Street Edition Sedan with 5 speed, and no Cruise control.
i get about 30-32mpg depending on how heavy my foot is.
My ST gives me an average of 32 MPG.
I can get over 500Km per tank if I stay of the pedal!
I now have over 13,000Km on the odo.
Time to bring it to the track :)
I'm averaging between 450 and 500 before the light comes on. Lower now since I want to hear the exhaust... :)

Because I do an insane amount of city driving, if I manage 425km until the light comes on I'm happy... The Focus despises the short trip to & from work and is only really good on gas when I'm booting down the highway....

NefCanuck
Around 530km per 45L, 60% hwy, have been the same for 7yrs now...
I get 400~ to a tank but I do 99% city..

.... :(

'02 SE sedan, manual.
+600 = highway.
:D

holy s*** i get like 450 under the E...man my mileage sucks compared to u guys and i drive 401 everyday to school...this sux ballz especially at $1.13/L
Just did 600km exact(375mile) on one tank. the fill up was 10.1 gallons. That's about 37mpg on a 01 station wagon. From Gatlinburg,TN to Martin,TN, I hit traffic near Nashville and Clarksville or it would be even better.

i'm amazed.


Last weekend I took the ST to summit racing in Ohio I got 545 Km to that tank and on the way back I filled up in Grove city PA. and gat 320 KM and didnt even use a Half a tank to Niagara Falls NY keep in mind the car has just under 2100 Km on it and that was only the 3rd + 4th tank of fuel not too bad it can only get better
most i ever got out of my ZX3 5spd was 620Km, this was on a long drive from TO to Cali. around Idaho i guess. Going flat for miles doing around 65MPH.

Wife used to get an average of 500 to 550 per tank in her 01 ZTS auto. This was mostly highway driving.

My green 01 ZX3, auto, average 500km per tank, driving on 401 from TO to cornwall.

I guess mostly depends on your driving habits, engine oil and millage on the car. I say Oil changes bc i have seen lot of changes when i change the oil and drive the car on the same road.
