you're going to run out of gas one of these days!
when the light comes on, I think you have about 2 gallons left:
My avg mpg is about 17. 17x2 = 34.

That's kinnda close.... My math could be flawed though.

kwescott 03-24-2006 02:02 PM

I've run out of gas once. This was the first week I had the car and I was anticipating the same mileage as I had on my Civic. I was getting 380 with my civic...and that was only 12 gallons. Those first couple of tanks in the 8 were so different. I think I got 230 on one tank, and 260 on the other. I continue to see a lot of variability in my gas mileage. This is why I stick with the light. It is fun to see how fast that bar sweeps across the empty line. It really does move fast.

ive never seen 250 either. jorge's car & mine were made around the same time. we must've gotten either monday or friday cars! :(

Yeah I use to commute from Westminster to Aliso Viejo and had the luxury of driving the 73 (company paid transponder) however, I never got more than 220 per a tank. I recently started working for a different employer which is in Los Alamitos so my 8 gets a break on the miles. I put 27K on her in a 1.5 year. This year I anticipate only putting 6K on her. Also i noticed since I drice surface streets all the time I get about 180 per a tank.

scremn8 03-26-2006 10:42 PM

you guys know the tank is suppose to be 15.8 or .9 gals. so why is it that everytime i fill up when that little light comes on, i can only get like 13.8 gals in the tank before it cuts off.???? and no its not full yet. i can get more in,like almost 2 gals. but it takes another 20min. to do so.

Catspaw 03-27-2006 04:00 AM

I just realized I get like 15 miles to the gallon. :dammit:

NgoRX8 03-27-2006 10:01 AM
