RE: Fuel mileage

["Patrick Bureau" <patricdlc@hotmail.com>]

Well I just filled up this morning, and got 41 Liters (10.83US Gal)and drove 
225 Miles (usa cars running in canada eh!) so this would make converting to 
10.83 Gallons for 225 Miles = 20.77 MPG
In canadian measures for linda's sake it means 362.10 Kilometres for 41 
Liters (8.83 KM/L) and this is ALL city driving conditions on an 85 8v with 
no engine mods, and 145K on it.

Miles on a tank of gas?
What is a tank of gas?....13 galUS?  13.5?  12?  How many of you run your
tank until it's empty?  THAT'S a "tank of gas".  Miles per gallon is the
universal, precise way of stating fuel mileage (or kilometers/liter).

That said, all you featherfeet, ...what are your mpg's?   I've gotten as
high as 33.1 on a 12-hour (80-85mph for literally hours at a time) run from
San Diego to Salt Lake City. Then, this year on the identical trip (except
about 40degrees F. warmer), the 'Roc and I got only 30mpg.  The 'Roc is a
stock 16V with 190K miles on it.

I must be doing something wrong... if I'm lucky, I'll get 400 kms out of a
tank. Hmmm... new O2 sensor, plugs, 94 octane gas, etc as well. Think I need

to check into this!
