well my last car did not have a low fuel warning, so I've been accustomed to not waiting that long. so far my fillups are 377,744 and 10404. I don't memorize the fuel-up amounts but they average to 36, 36, and 38.7mpg... and I thought I was driving the thing like I stole it. so three fillups, only one hit the light and they have all been above 350 (I think?? or at least could have).

not a great question to ask, its all subjective what a full tank is; how far you drive it down, how much you or the autocap let the tank fill.

I drive my 09 AT sport around 350 miles as well. I've been filling up when the light comes on usually. Do the paddle shifters help gas mileage at all? I haven't used mine much, but if I get better mileage by shifting at the correct time, I may start using them.

642 km, which is equivalent to 385 miles with 90% city driving.

Now I don't need to put in more than 9 gallons into the car, but I'm getting around 260 a tank, and around 33 MPG. My commute is really hilly, so that might be the reason for a semi-low MPG return.

First tank....354 and took exactly 10.0 to top it off. Third tank, zippy driving and A/C most of the time...360 and again 10.0. In my case..when the warning light on, I need to be within 5-6 miles of a gas pump. Only a little over the thou mark, pretty cool car so far.

I only get about 310 per tank, but I always fill at about a quarter of a tank. I don't ever wait for the gas light to come on.

geez some of you guys are rocking it. grated i have a gd3, but my car has a bigger tank than the ge8 and the mileage ratings are close enough.


while most of my drive is highway, its usually around 70mph. but 280-300 mile tanks are what i'm used to seeing. best ever was right around 400, using cruise a lot on a drive to florida.

I'm only slightly better at 260.

I average about 70-80mph on the freeway. That's probably why.

If you guys notice, the Fits in California get LOWER mpgs/miles for some reason.

Maybe because of the special emissions requirements in Cali?
