I do a lot of mixed driving so its hard to record a seperate mileage for a higway and city. I get a fairly constant backroad fuel milage of17-18.

Problem with what people get to a tank is that no one ever in their right mind will run down to empty. Miles to a tank is a bogus assessment as everyone fills up at different intervals. Hypothetically, I could say that I get 150miles to a tank simply due to the fact that I fill up every Saturday when gas is on sale at a local station. The same is true on gallons used, you don't know the distance traveled... You need both pieces to accurately compare between the two. So your MPG is the most accurate way of comparing vehicle to vehicle. That is ignoring the obvious driver/traffic/conditions aspect.

For the sake of conversions, 1MPG == 235.2L/100km == 0.425 km/L. Here is a good conversion utility - Unit Conversions - TDIClub.com

I'm only getting 400k a tank its so F'n sad,I have a 02 Z24 2.4L that I can get almost 550-600 on tank and I get this 4.3L and get 400 max
Well, yeah, 2x the engine displacement = less mpg (kpl). Take your capacity ~68 liters x your kpl and there is your range of travel.

Nice typo! 170... LOL. The only way Id get 170 MPG is if I trailered it the remaining 152 miles!!!
