600 miles between fill-ups...

So ... to sum it up:
One is bugged to hear 600 per tank ... if it's way off the mark compared to their personal experience ~
While another thinks, "600 ?!? ... what's the big deal !? if you've had 600, that's nothing.

Right now, the little white egg is sitting in the driveway ... with 695 miles on the current tank ! ! hehehe ... tomorrow, I'll enter the ranks of the obsessive . . . and I've got 2 pips left, and 71.5mpg on the mfd

My glorious picture will be posted tomorrow.

Here's my fifth tank (first tank posted earlier here).
Doing it consistently and getting better. I should be posting a 700 mile tank next week.

 

I think it really does have something to do with the weather because I regularly get over 600 miles to a tank. At the same time I have not seen days with temp highs of less then 90 in months.

When my light starts flashing I usually drive about 40 miles and then fill up. Even when I drove to California from Arizona against a head wind last month I still managed 550 miles. I usually fill up with around 10 gallons.

 

i used to only be able to fit about 450 miles of gas in my car. i took it to the toyota service dept for an unrelated battery issue, and when i got the car back, all of a sudden i can fit in 600 miles worth of gas. i am utterly confused.

 

I want that fix! lol

I had to drive for 30 miles on the flashing light to get 537 miles out of a tank. That was at 55mpg too!

 

Maybe they siphoned a few gallons out of your tank while it was in the shop.

 

I easily get over 600miles to a tank but I do live in the UK and so have no blader in the tank. My average MPG is 62-63 on a mixture of rural and town roads and distances of 1mile to 50 miles.

 

62-63 Imperial gallons ? That would be about 52 US MPG to the yanks

By the way, unlimited miles on a tank is easy: just add less than 3 gallons of fuel at a time, then the tank gauge does not reset
