Hi guys i,v managed to get 437 miles from a full tank of fuel mostly motorway driving at around 70mph, on cruise,anyone got better..

 

how many gallons did you use?

 

fuel light was on when i filled up and just came back on tonight i put in 44.62 liter aint worked out mpg ..

 

Your my HERO. I'm happy when I get 200. No comments please.

 

Last fillup: 273 miles

 

Hi I think you could be missing the point of owning a Xfire , I think they should not had put a fuel gauge on these cars just a distant meter to the next fuel station . & supply a road map via fuel pumps ,

Cheers

44.64 Liters = 11.787 U.S. Gallons
It works out to an unbeliveable 37.1 MPG (or 6.3l/100 km). That is if you filled it up to the top. Taken into account that the tank capacity is 60l, and you said the light had come on, it appears that it may not have been totally filled. Regardless 437 miles is great achievement. Congrats that will be very difficult to beat.

I barely get 200 miles to a tank with my lead foot

 

Just did 3 long days driving to a conference. I got 385 miles per tank.

 

I'm lucky to get 300 on a tank before the light goes on. Best I got on my Limited was 385 but the gas light was on for a little bit

 

In to, or out of the midlands.
That's uphill or down?

I LOVE those roads, just not the 7 days-a-week drivers one must dodge.

 

Wow and I thought I push my car hard

I NEVER get below 300.. usually in the 320 range

 

haha I average 19 mpg, 215 miles before I fill up (11-12 gallons). I do mostly around town driving though, my best so far was 25 from long island to carlisle, and that was sitting in traffic for an hour and a half in the city.

 

My last tank ran up to 327 miles before the light came on. I figured it out to be 22.86 MPG. That's pretty great for an SRT-6. There were a couple of 100+ MPH blasts in there and a little bit of gridlock as well. I will admit that was 75% highway in the 55-75 Range with Cruise Control when possible. I think I could get 360 100% Highway, but I've never had it on a trip long enough to empty a tank on the highway. I usually average about 300 miles per tank which is about 21 MPG.

 

are you sure that isn't kilometers, just wondering becuase a guy i work with brought his volvo with him here from the U.K. and he was always bragging that he got 50 mpg, when he was really getting 50 kpg or somewhere around 30mpg.

 

I usually fill up with approximately 1/4 of a tank left. I've been averaging 25-26 mpg with 90% of my driving being fairly short trips around my local area. I find myself shifting at 4000 most every stop light. I'm tempted to try to drive slower in a more economical range just to see what my mileage would be, but that is next to impossible to do. The XFire is just not made to be driven that way. It seems everytime I look in the mirror the wing is up.

The best I have done is 25 mpg in my SRT6. This was 75% highway driving.

 

I got 438 miles out of a tank last July coming back from Carlisle..........30.9 mpg. I was crossing my fingers that I would make it to the next exit for gas and don't think I will push it that far again.....LOL. Usually average about 27 mpg around town and to work & back.

Have several tanks from 411 to 425. I record every gallon since driving it off the lot...always have with all of my cars to help spot problems.

 

I was contemplating this fact as I read the thread starting at the top...once you stated it I would have to say I'm in total agreement. Just for those who don't "se habla" the world of metrics...437km is roughly 271miles. Which MI1XFIRE pointed out earlier a fuel consumption of about 11.787 gallons after fuel conversion from litres to gallons. which would put NEDRIDER at roughly only 23mpg. which is about average.


I keep track of every tank fill so I can a)spot problems and b)spot too many aggressive driving habits.

 

I avg. on the highway around 27 mpg but really gage my driving by how many LOOKS per gallon. lol

Love my Roadster!

 

Last tank I managed 28.5 mpg. That was mostly freeway driving during my rush hour commute to/from work. I have been trying to drive conservatively, but occasionally I do let the ponies loose. I'm very happy with the ability of the car to get relatively decent mileage.
