Hi all.
I am curious as to how many miles you can get out of a tank.
I have a 98 Pathfinder V6 with 154000 miles and can usually get 240 miles out of a tank.

sounds about right for my 99...

my 04 le combined is around 350km (217miles) - 370km (236miles)... all highway it can be as high as 425km (264miles)

Hi:

I have a 3.3 Liter 2000 Pathfinder:
over the past while I have gotten the following per tank.
529 KM 61 Liters
516 Km 61 Liters
458 Km 59 Liters
470 Km 64 Liters
500 Km 65 Liters

I do have manual front hubs as well.

What octane are you using to get such high numbers?

I know it is recommended to use premium but I put in 87

I am just using regular. I do have locking front hubs though, I think that this helps quite a bit.

My 01 Le gets near 520 km on a tank with 91 octane

my 97 SE gets 17.182 on the freeway at a ruff avarage speed of 80mph using 87 octane its ben so long since iv ben able to afford to fill it up i cant remember how much i got on a tank but i wrote down the milage last time i did

Don't these Cars have a 21 gal Tank ? If so , then 21 times 17 mpg
shhould give you 357 ...? why are you all saying so low ?

i think the trip i took i was close to 300 miles i went from clearfield utah to cedar city utah non stop thats the trip i figured around 17mpg i dont know how much more gas was in the tank i wasnt risking going bone dry it was at the e line i dont know how far i can go after it hits the line

Best I've managed was 310. Not sure what that equals out to, but the best mileage I've recorded was 17.4 MPG.

Average is about 16 MPG.

Because the low fuel light comes on after you've consumed 17 gallons, with about 4 gallons of fuel left. You don't run the vehicle completely out of gas before refueling. If you did, you'd get 357 miles, but most people fill up at slightly below 1/4 of a tank when they're trying to figure their fuel economy. The longer you go on a single fill up of fuel, the more accurate your estimates get when you do the math.

If my calculations are correct, and the average person fills up with 4 gallons of fuel remaining you get a fuel range of 289 miles, which agrees with what people in this thread have posted.

o.k. thanks ...understand better now

Just took a 1000 mile round trip road burn last weekend...before my MAF started crapping out, I was getting about 300 on tank. Haven't had a chance to check it again since I replaced the sensor.

I've been tracking gas mileage in a book for 40 years. You will get worse mpg emptying the tank. I do not know why, you'd think the lessor weight would have a factor, but I get better mileage filling up b/t 1/2 and 3/4 full.
