Mileage Per Tank
What are all of you getting per fill up. I'm only getting about 230miles to the tank and Im pretty sure I should be getting better mileage.

I get between 15-21mpg depending on how I drive.

I get between 400 and 450 KM per tank, 100% city driving in rush hour. So...*does math* between 250 and 275 miles. I haven't done a highway cruise with the SVX yet, but I expect mileage to be significantly better on lone trips (go 3.54 gears).
Oh, and I have two bum O2 sensors right now, which doesn't help mileage any

i usually dont go past the 1/4 tank mark... though on a few occasions ive hit 380 then.... the light comes on then fades in and out a little bit... i bet itd go dry before 400 though i check my milage every tank
i tend to average 24.5 mpg in the summer about 21-22 on winter tires (driving habits tend to change in winter as well)

I could get 27mpg on the highway/a few miles in town. So, I'll say around 28 or 29mpg highway.
Around town though with teenage driving (some jackrabbit starts), it's usually around 20mpg.

i usually fuel up around 360 before the low fuel light comes on around 400 miles, but i'm sure i could squeeze 450 out of it if i was brave. i use the cheapest 85 octane regular fuel i can find.

I was getting between 14 and 19 mpg last year. Driving style, quality of fuel, weather, idling, crusty sensors and parts, it all adds up.
I did notice the dealer window stickers note the fuel range between 14 and 25. There may be nothing "wrong" with your car.

I get around 230 miles per tank as well. Bumper to bumper traffic for most of my commute doesn't help, plus my 5 speed, 3.90 gears, and periodic spirited driving. It could be worse i guess, but it could be better. cross country last summer i hit almost 30mpg, but it was all highway, all day long.
