  • How long does a full tank last for you?

    I get about 36 mpg driving hard and my tank last about 5 days because I drive daily to my gym to train which is about 20 miles away and school which is a few miles away. I end up always going some where everyday and even though i don't get 40+, I am glad I got a festiva.

    It lasts all the way till its empty. 10 to 14 days or approx 375 miles and 3 fill up although Im not empty. I normally get 42mpg.

      I get around 35 with the B6, driving it like a madman, and fill up about once a week.

          I put 9.0 gallons in the Festiva every 400 miles. I drive with gas mileage as a target, don't cruise over 63 MPH, and accelerate just fast enough to stay right behind the car in front of me. If there's no car behind me I shift at low RPMs. About 1/2 City and 1/2 Highway driving.

            I gas up every 300 miles or so, but it only takes 8 gallons to fill it up on empty. The fuel gauge is a little off, but I would rather it be off in this direction than showing more gas than I have. LOL

              I fill up with around 8 gallons every week and a half to two weeks. Getting between 325 to 400 miles out of.

              However, I waiting for some tune parts, which should help a wee-bit.

                  I am getting about 32 mpg around town and getting on the highway for about 2 miles. I guess the FI cars do get much better mpg. I am content with 32 mpg though, i normally fill up once a week or about 250 miles.

                  Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.

                        Well, when mine was running, I would fill up every 225 miles and it would take 5 gallons. I just do it then b/c my gas gauge goes to empty after it comes off of full, ha.

                          I usually fill up about every 340 miles or so and it takes 8 gals. Plus i let it warm up on cold mornings which is every morning here during winter.

                              I have to take on fuel roughly every two days.

                              I put approx 180 miles a day on her, and get approx 40mpg
