Solara = Gas Killa?

I could get close to 400 in the summers and close to 450+ in the winters for my i4 on a full tank of gas. BUT...i hardly let it go 1/4 tank full....at most when its close to 400, i just fill her up!

I am getting about 450 miles per tankful out of my VVT-i I4. I drive about 70% on the highway.

:lol: That was meant for Ray, about pushing the car. :lol: You V6 guys should get lower gas mileage than us I4 people. With a car looking as pimp as yours, Moe, you may as well push it, as they’re going to pull you over anyway :).
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

hahah...That's a good one. I think the highest number I ever saw w/ a tank was 295...I think I may have seen 300 once, but if I did, it shocked me so much that my head hit the dash and I lost my memory of the whole event
:drinking:

Well, you figure..I got 18mpg for all hgwy. times 18.5 gallons...IF I did ALL hgwy..I should see about 333!!!

ALRIGHT!!! :wink:

WoW... im reading this post and im wondering how i get about 400 to 450 to a full tank.

I drive about 75% highway and the rest streets.

I guess i get pretty good gas mileage..

I've actually been VERY careful in regards to any "stress" I put on the engine. My car has never even seen over 90mph. I drive on average about 30-40 miles a day, mostly in the city though. Also, I never race people or anything like that (Orlando has enough issues with bad drivers as it is). I basically just wanted to see if maybe there was something wrong with my car, but based on some of the responses, I guess it's not so bad after all 8)
