I'm sorry, I should have been clearer on this. I want MPG, not miles per tank; I don't know if you fill up with a pint left or 5 gallons. The % error in that is going to make miles per tank numbers meaningless.

sorry but the MSP does not have a MPG gauge, so anyone you ask would be the same...

New car sticker listed 24 city and 30 highway. All depends on how your drive and where. Stay out of boost and you'll get 30+ on highway trips. 25 or so boosting. Drive it like a hard charger in the city and you will get the mileage of a pickup truck or less.

Bulleye dude. Average about 25 city and 31 highway when just driven w/out being too much in a rush. I rarely bite when every riced Honda or SRT in town pulls up beside me & sprints to next light/stop sign. However, I had the pleasure of passing then cruising @90+ alongside a restored 66 GT Mustang for about 5 miles on I-10 and he gave [I]me[I] a thumbs up?! That was a beautiful pony car...BTW, only got about 27 mpg highway on that trip...

when my wife drove it for a week she put almost 500 miles on a full tank. she said she never shifted over 2500 RPMs and this was city driving. Vibrant exhaust @ 8psi everything else stock

Unless you can't read I did give you MPG as well as Miles per tank. Not sure if you know this but you can't calculate MPG unless you fill it up then run it down till at least the gas light goes on. Why am I getting so shitty Gas mileage? I just added a GT28RS, and I get the same MPT. I don't always drive real hard, but I am always running late. I'll guess I need to plug the Air/Fuel gauge in to see how much gas I'm spewing

Not true. Reset your trip odometer every time you fill up. When you fill up divide the miles showing on your trip odometer by the gallons the pump shows when it clicks off. If you always fill up to the same point, you'll get accurate numbers.
This works whether you refill at 1/2 tank, 1/4 tank, or negative E

I take 3 consecutive fillups and divide the miles and gallons. Bone stock and 50/50 mix of city and highway, I have been getting 27 mpg avg over roughly 30 gallons of gas. I do not drive nice.

Less acurate but it works. Who's to say your a gallon over or less then the last time. If you fill up then run it down it's more accurate. Or do like the the guy that posted below yours. As long as you save how much you put in your good to go. That actually works for the people that run the gas all the way down. I think I'm going to start that way too. I had a GF who's dad was super anal and had this log book that she had to document how much gas she put in and how many miles where on the car every time she put gas in. It was kinda funny cause she hated doing it.
edit: I read your post wrong Your right that would work.

Not mine, its usually less than 1 gallon. I pump beyond when the pump stops so its completely topped off. Often can go up to 80 miles on the highway before the needle drops down to "F" mark unless I am boosting a lot.

Well, I been watching my mileages over the last 2 tanks.
I run alittle over 400 miles to the tank with mixed driving.
I take the tank to the light and then some. so by the time i fill up i do fill to about 13.9-ish once I took it to 14.2..

This is very true. I second.
with the aem intake, 2.5" custom turbo backwiithout the cats i get around 400-450kms in town which works out to around 25-28 in town.. on highway i havent had a full highway trip without in town driving but with a 400 km highway trip taking it easy, and prob 100-150kms in town.. worked out to be around 35-38.

Thats weird, because I had put 3 gallons in it from when it was empty (yes I ran it completely out of gas) and at 27 miles the light came on, then it ran completely out of gas at 90 miles..
