MPG issues ?

[Accord07]

Hey guys
i had filled a full tank the other day for $41 at a average of i think $2.87
i filled it full. i filled it last wednesday and today the gas light came on at i think about 320-323 miles. i got to the gas station and the end was 326 miles. Is this the average ? because if you divide 326/17 = 19 MPG....thats horrible..i dont think its that bad..how many gallons are left when the light gets on ?
i changed the oil and got a new airfilter, which should have made the MPG a bit better ?
whats the average you guys get ?

i only fill 13 gallons when im low. 17 is the FULL capacity meaning you used all the reserve and was stranded on the highway.

you sure you filled 17 gallons?

[Accord07]

i doubt it was full 17...it was like 12-13

[wed3k]

i doubt it was full 17...it was like 12-13

so if you divide the 326/12.5= 26mpg

you still have the reserve.

[Accord07]

yeah...26 still sucks

26 doesn't really suck.

These cars were rated 22city/28highway

Ive only fill full 17 once. Its not very smart thing to do either. Generally if you take out a bunch of stuff you dont need and depending on the options (wieght) it came standard with you will get better gas milage. 26mpg is very good. Generally I clock about 22 onve i think i was like in the 30ish range. Oh and to cut down on wieght and fuel cosumption try to fill your tank in 1/4's and dont turn on the ac compressor. fans however are fine. Youd be supreised how cold the drier is.

i average about 24 and i mash on it too.

i dont use the A/C at night and cooler temps, i just open windows and pop the sunroof open..its fun
idk..there is no excess weight in it besides standard equipment that came with it, car is usually empty

[wed3k]

i ditched my a/c, so i guess i have no choice

doesn't that reduce weight...removing the A/C compressor???

but how much does it weigh???

idk, i still got 32mpg driving in AZ in the heat on the highway. I dont think it takes away that much in mpg on the highway at least. but when i drive like i normally do, i get about 255 on 13.4 gallons when the light comes on. thats crappy I know but this is city driving and i drive kinda fast.
