First 900 mile tank

[Brent_B]

904 17.1 gal full up. 1000 is an easy number if you can keep it on the hey 780 of my 904 were hey. The rest were very short drives that killed my numbers a bit

hey = highway?

Yes miles! Spell check hates me!

We do have different motors in our cars, but I can tell you that 1K tanks are not "easy". I assume if they were, you would see more than just a handful of people achieving them.

I hope I'm wrong and you start knocking 1K tanks down monthly. Please create a Fuelly acct so we can monitor.

Yeah, 1K tanks havne't been easy in my car. In fact, I've not yet hit 900 on a tank. I've had an 825 and an 834. I still had 2 gallons remaining on that 834, so I could have made it to about 950 had I run it out.

1000 is doable if you can keep it under 60 MPH on the highway for 1000 miles straight. That's hard to do for a lot of people.

Thats great mileage Brent. I am not doing that well and I drive a lot. I have had a few 800 + mile tanks but no 900s and I drive a lot of highway miles.

My 800s usually results in 17.xx gallons so there is not much left. Maybe your newer model gets better mpg than my 13.

Just got 921 miles on a tank , MFI reading was 56.4MPG , calculated real mpg was 52.29MPG . Used my car for a everyday commute driving (20 + 20 miles 45-55mph) AC was not used . 17.613 gallon diesel flow to the tank after the mfi warning said : 10 miles left

Don't need to keep it under 60, don't need to do 1000 miles straight. I have done it 6 times this summer. Trips are 200 miles at a time, 2/3 highway (495/95), 1/3 rt1 in Maine. About 100 miles per tank are local around the town miles. I can't do it if air temps are below 68dF. It is much easier to do if one has a 6mt like I do rather than a DSG.

I'm always impressed by your fuel economy numbers!

I've done several 900+ tanks and finally did a 1006 last week. Put 19.054 gallons in it at fill up.

WOW, I see that you have added 19.25 Gallons at one fill, this is the most that I recall anyone stuffing in an NMS.
