I can get around 260 miles on a tank. I get about 23-24 mpg on the highway.

If you unplug your TCC switch, you can watch your needle drop!

Between city and highway, I get about 25-26 MPG. I fill up at around 300 miles per tank. And I have the 2.8 auto.

Tim (AquaZ26) asked me how far I got with a tank of gas so I checked carefully on the way back from Memphis: I filled up at Memphis and that tank went 448 miles! That's the best my car's ever done, it was running its very best all weekend.

One question. How accurate are the MPG gauges on the digi dash? I've never checked mine using my gallons and miles, I just used the computer and if so I've gotten 36 mpg on the highway to ohio, but usually like 25-26 mpg everywhere else.

Hello,
My 87 Beretta 2.8 with 3 speed automatic normally ran 24 mpg while my present Beretta...3100 with 4 speed automatic (OD) ran an avg of 34 mpg on a recent trip to New Mexico and back, with much of it over the posted limits. Was very pleased with the results..

Hello again,
Something that needs to be mentioned is when you compare total miles recieved per tank, one must be aware the older Berettas had like a 10 gallon tank and ones like my 95 Z26 have about 15 gallon tanks....duane

My quad4 Z26 gets a good 450-470 miles per tank every time i fill it up. thats not highway either. I'd say its a mix of city and highway.

I have an 88 2.8 automatic, and, I get about 200 miles to the tank, so, I'm not surprised by your mileage. I do drive to Michigan about twice a month, and, with the higher limits, I get better performance. I can get as much as 350 miles to the tank. Go figure.

Anyone else with a 95 or newer z26 get more than 350 to a tank. I get around that with city driving. But only when i leave it in OD all the time. If i drive on a tank with D i get around 300 city.
