355 real life fuel consumption?

Its bad. After owning an 05 Viper which has the 8.2l, didnt think Id ever find a car with worse gas mileage....355 proved me wrong.

 

If gas mileage is a purchase criteria, I might suggest looking at another car.
Not because of the gas mileage

 

Its easy to pick fun at this topic, BUT if think you might be having issues, its good to know what to expect as a baseline.

 

I have been thinking a Viper, at least now I can claim to be “green” when I say .....better gas mileage, is why I bought it.
I never even check the price of gas at the station, the DD usually costs $20-30 to fill.
The 355 usually $35-50, I always fill when the gauge gets to 1/4.
I have filled the 355, driven it around 50 plus miles and the next day I start it and .......1/2 a tank.
I blame it on the gauge not being accurate, and that works for me
Having the “low on gas” light come on is panic mode.

True, but the baseline is right on the window sticker

I have yet to see a car that did not beat the federal estimate. A TR beats it by a lot.

 

I burn around $15 an hour Canadian and its the most fun you could ever have for the money. As for the milage, I never really knew or cared and Ive had the car for 15 years.

 

Because it's interesting to know.

 

Fascinating: two options! And they're not crazy expensive, either. These Portofinos are being delivered with 25-33% of the price in options. I saw a 488 Spider with over $150k in options and Tailor Made upgrades.

 

In my 348 I have gotten 25mpg while driving a pretty steady 75mph +/- on the highway. Did that a few years ago during my cross country drive.

 

I'm obsessive/compulsive when checking fuel usage. All cars, daily drivers too. Something dad did, something I do. I can also see the impact of changes I make to the car like new tires, Major, etc
I didn't post this years usage, primarily because I drove so little. I'll dig up my thread & update it in the next day or two.
