First 600 mile tank
I know this is pretty humble compared to you road warriors, but I got my first 600 mile tank at just over 50 mpg. I am pretty excited and think it is good due to my short commutes and hlly neighborhood. I guess I'll try to figure out how to get 650 miles now.

Hey, congrats. My first 700 mile tank was a Big Happy Moment for me. I got two in a row then have not had one since. :( But I shall rise again !!! Someday. :D

Re: First 600 mile tank
How many gallons does a HCH hold? Mine only holds about 10 gallons and so far the best ive done is 530 miles (53.2 mpg) ave

Re: First 600 mile tank
Rated at 11.9 gallons for the PZEV version and 13.2 gallons for the SULEV/ULEV versions. Some drivers have put as much as 15.2 gallons in a SULEV version though. Capacity will fluctuate depending on various factors.

Re: First 600 mile tank
Good for you, wait until you get 650. Then you'll feel the same feeling again that you feel now. It's a super feeling, huh.

Re: First 600 mile tank
It holds 13.2. I put 12 even in it this time

Hi Clayk:
___600 miles is just your first step. 650 and 700 will fall soon enough. Once you really get the hang of it, 800 + may be the norm if you really want it ;) Congrats on your first tank and I hope to see and hear the details of many more to come! ___Good Luck ___Wayne R.

Re: First 600 mile tank
As of pulling in the parking lot of work today I have 595 miles on this tank, and three bars left. This will be my first 600 mile tank too!
Inflating my tires to 40 PSI defiantly made a big difference. Congrats! ~Droid |
Re: First 600 mile tank
I'll never be able to tell how many miles i can get to a tank. A few days ago I had 3 bars when I left work and 20 miles into my commute the tank showed completely empty. Fuel guages are never perfect indicators but that struck me as being a bit much.

Re: First 600 mile tank
Ron,
The way I do it is this: The first time I get a "low fuel light" I estimate I have 80 miles left, a most conservative figure. I have gone up to 120 more miles, so figuring 80 has been a good estimate. That way, I accomplish two things: 1. Minimize my trips to refuel. 2. Know for sure I'm not going to run out. Has worked for almost 15 months, and I never sweat low bars, and don't have to use any brain power other than "go no farther than 80 miles after the first time the low fuel light appears." I bet this would work for every HCH owner. |
