I get about the same NismoS14. I do a fair share of city driving though. If you do mostly highway driving, then something might be wrong.

Here's a math problem for you. I get 400km to 55L of fuel (94 octane).
What is this in miles and gallons?

335 from fill up to E. i guess i could go longer if i went below E. that's with aggressive driving/racing...
I get around 260 for 11 gallons of octane 91.

i get hella shitty milage..... on a full tank of gas...91 octane... i get usually 250 miles. It about even city and highway driving. And i do drive softly. When i run my car a lot... i can see the gas needle (literaly) going down. Its so wierd. Plus my gas prices here does not help. I pay about 1.69 a gallon (premium)

i just filled up and got 300 miles on 12.75 gallons of 91 octane. mostly highway driving ~75-80mph
89 240sx

I'm curious: Why do some of you guys run higher octane gas? My 240 seems to run fine on regular. Granted, I've only had it for 2 days, but still...

everyday, i have like an hours worth of highway driving. n i end up w/ like 300 miles before i refill. i think it all depends on how hard u push ur car n if ur just cruising or not. what is the difference is gas though? i always use 87. oh yeah! i saw gas prices at $99.9 or $1 the other day in some town, that's the lowest i've ever seen it.

The most I've ever gotten out of one tank in my '96 was just a little over 400 miles. Take into consideration that all of it was highway miles though. The needle was just above the E when I got to that. For around town and highway driving I usually average about 270ish...just depends.

Here's a question for you Americans (like all of you). What gas options to you have in the way of octane? I personally have not seen higher then 91 at the regular pumps. Here some places have 87, 89, 92, 94. Do you guys have this option???
Here at where I live, and I think also the rest of CA, we have 87, 89, and 91. I've never seen anything higher here.

in boston i we have 87,89,91,93,94
depends on which station u go to
the reason i run 93 is because i did a comparison wiht lower octane, and i seem to get less milage with lower octane
remember this is not scientific, and could be bais do to the fact i like running higher octane

I have to agree with lance. Haven't you ever seen the little sticker inside your gas cap cover? It says right there clear as day, USE HIGH OCTANE FUEL. Try some good gas out, you might just see what the difference is. I am talking about that 91 stuff.

that's cool, i'll fill up w/ some 91 next time, good thing i haven't had my 240 that long i guess. but some cars actually say use unleaded fuel only, so i just got so used to using 87.

"unleaded fuel only" means to use unleaded fuel. Has nothing to do with the octane rating.

Well blank,
I once decided to save some $ and fill with 89, and I hated the way my throttle reacted, very jumpy. I think you will notice a difference.

Here in Tulsa we have 87, 89, 91, 93. I actually got worse gas mileage when I was using 91 or 93. I dunno why, though. I drive almost all in town and I got 350miles on my last tank and only had to put in 12.5 gallons. I was pretty impressed. I used to be able to go almost 2.5 weeks w/o putting gas in my car (until this next week when I have to start working 15 miles from home <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>).
wow i love driving my car but im sick and tired of getting such shitty gas mileage...... *shakes head*
