I had 310 miles mostly highway, inlcudes a few loooong warmups, when the TR's low fuel warning light came on. I then put in 20.8 (US) gallons of 91 octane, meaning that it was only about 2/3 empty. Sure not going to run out when that light comes on - avg. 15 mpg, now that's not bad. ;)

Driving from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe in an 84 308 GTSI, going anywhere from 65 mph to 130 mph, I could have sworn I was getting about 21 to 23 miles to a gallon. This was 17 years ago and maybe the gas was better back then. |

When my wife & I drove cross-country from Texas to Calif. last September, we averaged 92 MPH for the approx. 1500 miles there, and averaged 16.1 MPG. For the whole trip, 3800 miles +/-, averaging 84 MPH, we averaged 15.9 MPG. This, in a year 2000 Maranello, rated at 12 MPH highway! I was impressed (especially since gasoline was well over $2 a gallon in Calif. back then--a painful fill-up with a 38 gallon tank...) |

I put 270 miles on my TR today, mostly freeway driving (altho some not), about half a tank is gone (~15 gals. used). I did not make it back to the fuel station today, but next time I get it out of the garage I'll go fill up to see exactly what I burned. From rough estimation about the same as you JSL!!!
Just for fun mine as well.

Who would think that you can get 18.4 MPG at 80 MPH average over 120 miles? Just for fun, today's milage on my 89 328. |
