Dumb question about my car. gas mileage
 

I have a 2004 GTS automatic, I was wondering if this car has overdrive. Does it do it automatically? I haven't seen any buttons or anything. My car only gets like 280 miles on a full tank of gas.

Is it a sporty? the auto is a 4 speed so 4th is your OD. and I have gotten like 390miles on one tank all highway. so 300 is prob close to normal for city

I am currently getting only 275 mpg on my 2003 GS Auto. and that is mostly hwy driving. It is better than the 250 mpg I was getting when I first bought the car 2 months ago but I am hoping it will increase when I get the TB changed, synthetic oil change and new air filter and platinum plugs into it.

RE: Dumb question about my car. gas mileage
 

My bad thats 275 per tank now which is better than the 250 miles I was getting when I first bought the car

lucky bastards lol, i'd belucky to get around 200 milesout of my gst.

RE: Dumb question about my car. gas mileage
 

Yea but you have a turbo and probably drive your car hard. I bought the GS for gas economy and reliability as my main concerns and thought the milage would be better. To boot I think you run premium too ...... must be costly to run

RE: Dumb question about my car. gas mileage
 

Yea it is definately costly, ihave to fill my car up twice a week. And i really dont drive it hard, otherwise i would probably get around 150 miles per tank. Sometimes i think i should just walk to work lol.

i have a 2004 GT Manual and i get at least 400 miles for a full tank, i use 93 octane. sometimes i can get more miles than that, most of mine is highway during the week & city on the weekends...

RE: Dumb question about my car. gas mileage
 

400 miles on a full tank? i wish i could pull that off.
i have an 01 GT manual and im getting roughly 280 on a full tank (of course thats excluding the 2 remaining gallons when im on "empty"). then again, i tend to floor it more than i should. im just so used to driving a 4 cylinder that i cant really help myself now.
