In the I4 doing hwy I get 400-420 (33-35mpg) before the gas light comes on. But I could squeak out another 4-5 gal after that, never pushed it though. That's doing roughly 70-75.
City driving I get around 25-29mpg which is around 350 to a tank. This is me taking it easy for the most part

Wow I must have a lead foot or something cause my gas milage just sucks compared to everyone else! Before I started my new job I did about 90% city driving was getting around 20- 22 mpg now I'm driving about 85% highway and I'm still only getting 25-26 mpg. I also haven't noticed any difference from going from the Accord which was auto to the TSX that is 6sp. Maybe I need to set the cruse or something and see what happens cause seeing everyone elses milage makes me jealous since I fill up every 4 days usually cause if not I'm running on fumes by the 5th trip home from work.

Half City Half Highway, about 320-360 to a tank. That includes pushing it whenever I please to, which may be around 15% of the time.

about 15 mpg all city with all cold starts which gets me around 240 on a full tank. with all highway and a warm start, i got 200 miles on what the guage said was half a tank which led to about 35 mpg.

Just want to clarify that the 300-350 city is when the gas light comes on. For anyone interested I've calculated that our cars have about 4 gallons of gas left when the light comes on. I've filled up almost right when the light comes on and the car will only take 13 gallons at best. When I am on long distance drives I figure I have 100 miles left when the gas light comes on...playing slightly on the conservative side.

I've had my low fuel light come on with 4 to 4.5 gallons left in the tank. If you usually average more than 25 mpg, 100 miles is a good estimate.

I'm a V6 so my mileage is a bit lower than most, if I cruise control it on the highway, 320-330 tops from dead full to empty, I'll let you know how my gas mileage is this weekend, I am doing roughly, 350 miles of driving Saturday, I'll start at dead full and see where it goes from there.

i'm in the 200-300 range (50% city, 50% highway). I was in the 300-400 (on the high side of the range) before I got my roof rack

With SRI, TSX IM, Greddy EVOII, and resetting ECU on a warm engine, my max distance was 646 km (401 miles). That's mostly highway driving at 80-100km/h (50-60mph).

Whenever i say this no one ever believes me, but:
One time i drove to detriot to see a Giants Lions game. Drove from philly to detriot 75mph cruise control the whole way, didnt fill up once. Ofcourse I filled up when we got into detriot.

580 miles is quite a distance. If your tank was topped off, the roads were flat, and you used the cruise control the whole way, it's possible. I'm sure I could pull it off under the right conditions. If you went about 55-65 mph, you probably would have gone further.
