Figure about 23mpg on flatlands of FL. You can do the rest of the math.:)

If you leave with a full tank, you'll probably only need to stop twice. Unless you really really push it, you should have no problem getting 350 miles from a tank. 350 to start, plus two stops of 350 each, nets you 1050 miles.

You might even find is you drive conservatively, you can maybe get closer to 400 miles from a tank. 25mpg x 15 gallons would net you 375.

But then again, who on this forum drives conservatively.

Volant intake/V exhaust/33psi in the tires/80 mph on cruise from Orlando to Riverside Georgia. DIC indicated 27.15mpg - 448miles - 16.5 gallons of fuel. DIC said I averaged 76 mph. I have the 3.6. We had next to zero hills, so flat land and smooth driving helps a bunch.

dont forget he is starting in north east ohio...

his first tank of gas is gonna get crappy mileage...

the additives they put it so our gas doesnt freeze in the winter also kill our mpg

Excellent mileage B Hoth :thumbsup:

I'm on 376 with range showing 67 miles. I'm gonna gas up in the morning station I'm going to is about 15 miles away so 390 driving back and forth to work. The CTS has exceeded my expectations. Gas here ar BP Amoco is $209.9 Sunrise Florida.
