my highest was 516........100% highway between Georgia and Indiana...I was pretty low when I filled up though...I think I needed 16 gallons.

but yeah, 516 and I wanted to keep going....the needle was scarily low (like almost pointing at the lowest part of the 'E')

I got 19mpg once, but it's pretty explainable I think. Full load of people (5) in the car, with skis on the roof, going 85mph or so in 5th gear (3200RPM) for most of the trip, at 6000 ft altitude for a good 30% of the trip and having snow tires on.

On my 97 w/130k, I get an avg of 300 per tank. That's mostly city driving too. I get better mpg when I have my stock wheels on. I do alot of high reving too so I probably could do better.

hey, i AVERAGE 19 mpg!!...i've driven as low as 14-15 mpg before...(and as high as 24. puahaha...)

but for my best, i guess it would be last week on the way back from vegas in my dad's v6 (with him driving). 291 miles. 8 gallons. = 36.375mpg...that's 6 mpg above the advertised 30mpg highway (and to my experience, it lies)

My 1991 accord would run for about 55 miles with the light on. My '96, only 38 miles. The hell?
