How many miles can you get on a tank in a 1995 Pontiac firebird

Question

Answer 1

>>   1995

Any car with more than 20K miles will vary greatly from the factory estimate.  Factory estimate is completely useless to you.  Measure it yourself.

(a) fill the tank to the max

(b) get on the HWY - late night / no traffic hour

(c) drive about 20 to 30 miles (at 55 MPH)

(d) use cruise control - very important

(e) note the EXACT MILES

(f) get off and immediately get gas

(g) note the EXACT GALLONS

Now you can calculate the MPG by

MPG = MILES (step e) / GALLONS (step g).

The reason you start out with full tank is that is the "repeatable" condition.  You want to avoid traffic so you

don't use the brakes on the HWY.  Braking will negatively affect the MPG calculation.  You use the cruise control so

you and eliminate your driving habit as a factor.

Without a good MPG calculation you might be wasting your money chasing ghosts.  Also you can repeat this test

anytime you feel like you car is not running right.  You can also try the same thing but off the cruise control to

check how much your driving habit affect the MPG.  etc.

Good Luck...

Answer 2

If you go all highway you will get about 345 ish. Mixed miles you'll get low 300's. My dad has the V8 though and he gets 325 on the highway and you will get about 4 more miles to the gallon better than him on the highway. In the city he would get around 270 but he drives kind of fast in the city. You would probably get about 300 in the city. Good luck.

Answer 3

In a firebird? Not much

Answer 4

15 city

23 highway

Combine mpg would be about 18 !
