What are people getting from a full tank of gas? Mine is in km but I am only getting around 300km. I am not sure if something isn't amiss.

I get about 260-285 miles per tank. That was on its maiden voyage home when I bought it.

420-480 depending on how I drive. Of course, I did a lot of chip work to get it to this point.

That's 186-ish miles. That's definitely not good (9.3 mpg if that's a full tank).

Jeez, I want to get some custom chip work for that. That's freakin' awesome, I'm still around maybe 240 for a full tank.

Re: Mileage per tank?

I would guess around 240-260. I never let it get much below 1/2 tank. At that mark I am around 140 or so. I average 12mpg street and 16mpg hw. I always keep track of miles driven/gallons

Re: Mileage per tank?

so what are the main causes of bad gas mileage? besides making boost...does having a high volumn fuel pump make it use more fuel all the time or just when you need it? thanks

Are you guys using american gallons? That is 3.78. Rest of the world is 4.344

Yes.....US gallons. I doubt you'll find many of us living in the states using any other type of measurement considering this is a domestic forum.

It's all relative to your first question however (What are you guys getting on a full tank of gas?). A stock tank holds about 76 liters of fuel regardless of the unit of measure used to pump it into the tank. You get 300km (186+ miles) per tank while an average, stock SyTy should get around 550km (340+ miles). No matter how you cut it, 9.3 mpg (or 8.1 mpg in non-domestic units) is bad.
