Ive got my first 425+ tank. The low fuel light is not on yet, should come on next trip so i think i will be around 435-440 range when i fill up. So i dont know the mpg average yet but if my fill up is around my normal of 8.9 to 9.1 i should come out around 48mpg which will make this my best tank so far.

I will see tomorrow though what it exactly is.

Nice job. I've got a 1990 Acura Integra and I've been improving my mileage as well. I was excited when I added my fuel log a little while ago. My goal is 30mpg I think I may have to start taking things out of my car to make it lighter. The less mass the less the engine has to work.

Rich,
Nice job! I had 445 and change when I filled my Fit up this afternoon (I'm certain I could have crested the 500 mile mark) and I hit 56 m.p.g., so you might be much better than the 48-49 you think you're at. Of course, it depends upon your routes and hypermiling techniques, as well as where you fill your vehicle because pumps differ from station to station and pump to pump. I always fill at the same station, same pump, and same "notch" on the lever. That's about as accurate as I can manage tank to tank. Keep up the great work and maybe I'll see you one day up in your part of Berks County.
