Miles Per Gallon
How many miles do you average per tank of gas. Be specific like what gas you use and from what gas station(just the brand, not what location)

Does it bug any else that the tank lid opens just by pushing it? I don't in a decent area but around me is kinda ghetto. Anyone can open the lid and take the gas out.

i found out that there is a screen in the neck of the gas tank that prevents people from siphoning your gas, so it shouldn't be an issue. edit: to keep this post on topic, my car has a little over 1600 miles on it and it has been averaging about 20-21 MPG. i live in an area with lots of stop signs and stop lights though and it's hard to cruise for more than a half a mile or so without having to stop completely for some reason or another. about 40% of my driving is freeway, which helps the average quite a bit. it's about 17-18 without the freeway driving. |

To be honest, with a car like this, you can't worry about gas mileage, if you do - you really can't afford a camaro.

I think something is wrong with my car. I reset the trip two, average speed, and mpg. I was at 150 miles, average speed was like 22(under 30mph), and average mpg of 15.5. That seems low considering it is under what I should get on the city. Half of that is on the freeway. And the average speed is low. We don't even go under 22 on the street! Is it the engine or is it reading it wrong? I just reset everything. My tank is at 3/4 and I fill it when it gets to 1/4. So next week ill tell you guys what I get for half a tank.

If you're worried about someone stealing your gas, buy a locking gas cap.

If you're in 6th gear going 35-40mph you'll see 39mpg. Experienced this today. Of course the moment you press the gas it'll go down.
