    Not too sure, especially in km's...but um, what's makes your car "Limited"?

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    I believe it is around 25mpg city/30mpg hwy, but a lot of us get better mileage than that... around 35mpg hwy.

    The tank size isn't 15 gallons, it is 15.9 gallons.

    Do a search and you will see several threads about how many miles we get to the tank. It all varies.

    Re: mileage

    Well... Lets just say that on average you get 27mpg. 90% of that is about 24miles... Some people just drive to work and back, that 24 miles will get me to work and back 4 times...

    Re: mileage

    Oh I average about 27 mpg.... I got 30 mpg ONCE

    I beat the shit out of that car daily.... Even on the highway i get crappy mileage... probably because it's usually 90+ mph if traffic allows.

    Ahhh, I'm not worried about it. I have a Delta 272 cam, 4th gen map sensor, 16 inch wheels, bla....bla.
    And I usually only drive in the city, so my milage pretty much sucks. My best ever was like 25 to 27mpg, something like that.
